Henry is a very attractive two-year-old Lhasa Apso mix.
Though Henry weighs just 25 pounds, his personality is bigger than that. He is a happy dog and gets along with every person and dog he meets. He plays hard but not too hard with his foster mom's 10 pound Yorkie mix, he seems to know just how hard he can play based on the other dogs size and is gentle enough to play with anyone. He also does well with larger dogs.
Henry goes willingly in his crate if you tell him it's time to go night-night. Too cute! He also likes to sit on top of the world and he will get up into places you would not think he could and be happy about it! You know..the kind of small dog that likes to perch on the back of the recliner!! Henry rides well in a car when in his traveling crate.
Henry is easy going and hungry for attention and affection. He enjoys our walks and likes to follow his people around the house like a smallish shadow.
Henry is unsure about toddlers, so will only be placed with older children.
If you don't have cats or small kids, Henry would be a great dog for your home!! Who could ask for a better dog that one that is fun, loving AND housetrained!!!!!! By the way...as for cats, like many dogs, Henry thinks they are for chasing, which makes us think a home with cats might not be a good choice.

This dog is available unless it is marked as Pending, meaning "pending adoption".
If this Dog is marked Urgent, it is because the Arkansas shelter where he/she resides is overfull. Please do not ask local shelters to take this dog in, there are many reasons why they cannot. Please also do not send us letters about why we euthanize, AHR does not euthanize, but the shelters we work with do. We are a rescue and we pull as many dogs as we have foster homes and funds for. We, like the shelter, do not have unlimited resources. Please, please: foster, adopt or sponsor a dog to help save their lives.
FOR PUPPIES: HOMES CONSIDERING PUPPIES MUST BE PREPARED FOR:
FLEXIBLE SCHEDULES FOR POTTY TRAINING-THEY CAN ONLY "HOLD" IT FOR ONE HOUR PER MONTH OF AGE.
CRATE TRAINING FOR THE NEXT 10 MONTHS TO KEEP THEM FROM CHEWING EVERYTHING IN SIGHT.
SUPERVISION WITH CHILDREN, AND OBEDIENCE TRAINING.
SOCIALIZATION-A GOOD DOG MUST BE EXPOSED TO ALOT OF STIMULUS AS A PUPPY SO THAT NEW PEOPLE AND ENVIRONMENTS DO NOT INTIMIDATE THEM AS ADULTS. THE MORE POSITIVE EXPERIENCES -IN AND OUT OF THE HOME- AS A PUPPY, THE BETTER.
HOMES THAT WANT TO HAVE GOOD DOGS, MUST BE PREPARED TO PUT THE TIME AND EFFORT INTO TRAINING A PUPPY. IT IS ALOT OF WORK!!! THEIR BEHAVIOR AND STAGES ARE EQUIVILENT TO A 2 OR 3 YEAR OLD CHILD. IT TAKES A FULL YEAR TO HAVE A CALMER, WELL ADJUSTED DOG! PLEASE DO NOT CONSIDER ADOPTING IF YOU HAVE NOT THOROUGHLY THOUGHT THROUGH THE PROS AND CONS OF A PUPPY...SO MANY PEOPLE END UP RETURNING THEM IN 3-5 MONTHS BECAUSE IT IS CHEWING, JUMPING AND HYPER. THIS IS NORMAL PUPPY BEHAVIOR.
PATIENCE, CHEWIES, SOCIALIZATION, SUPERVISION AND OBEDIENCE TRAINING IS A MUST!!
