Bio:

We rescued Henry in October 2024 from As Good as Gold at just 8-weeks old. He was the cutest boy. He’s now 15-months old and 90 pounds (and still cute). You just want to hug him. This past April, he received his Canine Good Citizen Certification! We hope to take more classes in obedience and agility this upcoming year—maybe even some dock diving classes. He’s very smart, and quite the athlete! His favorite treat is frozen blueberries. We love our big boy and have recommended As Good as Gold to many of our friends. We’re excited to see what we’ll learn together in the new year!

If interested please fill out our online adoption application form; please make sure you fill in every required field/question or your submission will not go through. Please note that we take time to learn as much as we can about each dog in our care and our bios are our current observations; we are unable to make any guarantees on the future health or temperament of your adopted dog. Most dogs in our care come with unknown pre-rescue history and as such breed and age estimates are an educated guess.
