This smart guy loves making new human friends and does well with other dogs but would prefer not to share his home with cats. His ideal day would include waking up next to his best human friend, going for a nice long walk, eating breakfast, lounging around a bit, going for another walk, playing, napping, eating dinner, relaxing with his best friend next to the fireplace, going for another walk, playing some more, then crawling into his nice warm bed for the night. Does this sound like the perfect day to you? Henry would love to meet you. Henry is currently in the Midstate Veterans Training Program and is now accepting applications.
