Greetings from your friend Henry.

When C.A.R.E. rescued me from Chicago Care and Animal Control, where I was brought in as a stray, I was one sick puppy. Thin, weak, and suffering from pneumonia, I received the best medical treatment and then was nursed back to health by my wonderful foster mom. Now that I’m ready to find my forever home, let me tell you a bit about myself.

My foster mom describes me as a real people lover. My #1 activity is hanging around and schmoozing with humans, but I’m also good at entertaining myself. Indoors, I enjoy chewing on  Nylabones and getting kibble out of my orange roller ball. Another of my favorite pastimes is watching the birds and squirrels from the living room window.. I’m a very smart boy who already knows several commands, including come, sit, down, stand, and touch. I always signal when I need to go outside to do my business, and wait patiently while my harness  is put on, and sit when I come back in to have my feet wiped off. I love hanging out watching Tv with my foster brother or playing catch with a ball. I absolutely love older kids.

I have learned that  i like my crate as I have my breakfast and dinner in there so it is one of my happy places , but I don’t really need it. Just tell me “bed” or “rug,” and I’ll go there and settle nicely.

I love going on walks and will walk forever taking in all the sights and sniffs of the world and love a good romp in a back yard.

Summing up, I’m a gentle, loving, big-hearted guy who dreams of being your best canine companion through all of life’s adventures. Are you ready to team up? Then please fill out an adoption application right away, because I can’t wait to meet you!

I have been microchipped and will be neutered and have had a full veterinary checkup and vaccines. My adoption fee is $325. For more information or if you would like to meet me, please fill out an adoption survey at carenorthshore.org/dog-adoption-survey

Love and licks,

Henry

Our adoption facility hours and location can be found on our website. https://carenorthshore.org/care-adoption-center/

Additional adoption info

See our process and policies on our website.
https://carenorthshore.org/adoption-information/

Our fees include a full medical exam by a veterinarian. This includes a Feline Leukemia and FIV (Feline Immunodeficiency Virus) test for cats, Rabies and Distemper Vaccines, deworming and Spay/Neuter. Dogs receive a Heartworm Check, Spay/Neuter, Rabies and Distemper Vaccines, Canine Flu Vaccine, deworming, and Kennel Cough preventative. Our modest adoption fees do not cover the procedures and vet work that we provide the animals. We fundraise to make up the difference. Any ongoing medical needs that C.A.R.E. is aware of are explained fully, (including daily medicine costs), to the potential adopter, and become the responsibility of the adopter.
