Awww - what a sweetie-pie! Thank you for sharing with us - I'm always so thrilled when I hear that a doggie has been rescued. Sending along lots of good wishes to you and your family, and I bet Henry thinks he's hit the jackpot being adopted into your home. Thank you so much for choosing a rescue doggie - I'm sure Henry feels incredibly grateful to be tucked lovingly into your family's home, instead of stuck in some shelter somewhere. You did a really good thing!
I got my doggie (the spoiled rotten guy in my avatar pic) from the Boulder Humane Society - he'd been transferred from another state by a charitable organization, because his time was up. And by "up" I mean that he was going to be put down. Fortunately, he was transferred to another state and into a shelter with a higher adoption rate than where he came from. That's where we found him - he was a problem dog (don't ask - the list is long!) - and had spent most of the first two years of his entire life in shelters. Nobody wanted him, and he was *very* challenging.
Lucky for us, he's turned out to be the greatest doggie...so smart, so cute, so loving and probably the very best behaved dog I've ever had. Amazing!
Gus sends his 'congrats' to Henry - so glad he made it, and got into a really nice family (yours) who cares about doggies.
Enjoy your new puppy - what a cutie - and I bet he turns out to be a really great dog. There is just something about dogs that are rescued. I think they know they've been rescued and I think they appreciate it so much.
Henry's a very lucky guy - and when you rescue a doggie - you get back so much more than you expect. I think they know, on some level, that you plucked them out of an uncertain (and possibly dire) situation and brought them into a place where they are loved, secure, and safe.
I think you're in for a world of joy, loyalty, laughter, appreciation, gratitude and love.
Lucky Henry, and lucky you!
Meanwhile, you might need to tell Henry that he needs to tone down the cuteness a wee bit, and tell him that sometimes it's just a little much and that we humans can only take so much 'cute overload'. I'm always telling Gus that the cuteness is excessive and that he needs to tone it down a bit. He doesn't, because that's exactly how he gets away with some of his shenanigans.
Congrats to you, your family and Henry! What a gorgeous puppy.
Enjoy
