My name is Henry!

Oh Henry got his name because he’s as sweet as the candy bar. He’s a one year-old 42 pound Australian Cattle Dog/Carolina Dog with reddish coloring, stand-up ears, a corkscrew tail, and one blue eye and one brown eye. He’s also got a sprinkling of freckles across his nose. He arrived at the Mesquite Animal Shelter on 1/18 as a stray. As you’re looking at the photos you’re probably thinking that he’s a handsome boy. I agree. But what’s even better is that he’s got an engaging personality. When I first met him in the kennel, he stood up and gave me a hug. He sits for treats and takes them gently. He’s very affectionate. He wags his tail, indicating he’s a happy boy. He does occasionally jump on you but gets down when told to do so. He’s active and likes to climb. He’s friendly, affectionate, alert, and very sweet. He did his business when he got out into the yard. He wagged his corkscrew tail when he met other dogs. And he walked fine on a leash. You’ll be the envy of your neighbors when you take Oh Henry for a walk. He would like a yard so he could get out and enjoy some sunshine, but he wants to be mostly an inside dog so he can spend time cuddling up and loving on his new family.
