Henry was found abandoned. The holding kennels were also a Rescue kennels so wanted to get him sorted. He has been neutered and vaccinated. They think he would be better with a Lurcher Rescue as he got overlooked. He is small for a boy, around 23" to the shoulder. But so full of love. He has a lovely nature. Good with people and dogs. He has just landed at his foster home in Essex, with Barney and his two female lurchers. Both girls are around 8-9 years old and even tempered. He was introduced and was so polite and well behaved. On the transport run he met some traffic police and wagged and wanted to be cuddled. He is definitely not a dog with baggage. One thing I did find was that he didn't want to get into the lift at Barney's place. But travelled very well and very quietly lying down and taking in the scenes. Thank dog this dog didn't come to me for fostering. He is a diamond. xxxx I think this Highways traffic officer was a little smitten

Henry appears to be in very good condition, & he's deffo very fit! He needs educating in respect of lead walking & to learn his place in the pecking order when it comes to having treats, i.e. typical pup behaviour.
Henry has been clean indoors thus far - no accidents, although I caught him about to mark in the bedroom on one occasion: a shout of Oi!! nipped this in the bud.
He does have quiet moments, (he's currently lying at my feet), but any movement or noise & he's up in a flash to investigate.
We've had three walks in the park since his arrival, & he's interacted well with everyone we've met - human & canine.
There's a lot of tree surgery going on in the park, & Henry hasn't been fazed by any of the heavy machinery involved.

He sounds like a really nice little boy. Well done for taking him in Barney, and let's hope he soon finds his forever home.

Henry slept through the night next to me, completely undisturbed, to the extent that our early walk started an hour later than usual & I didn't need my torch.
The lad has a healthy appetite & finished what little the girls had left of their breakfast after devouring his own. He's also very playful, & has a little bark at the girls when trying to encourage them to play. I've introduced him to cuddly toys & tennis balls, but he's not interested in them, preferring interaction with anyone who will oblige. All in all Henry is a very happy chappy with no hangups & 'tis a real pleasure to have him with us.
