My name is Henry and a year ago, I was dumped.  What went through my people’s head when they did that? Did they hope and pray that I would find a home quickly? Or was I forgotten the moment they drove away?  It doesn’t make a difference now. The result is the same. I’m still here, waiting for a home. I’m a big guy- 92 lb- and I’m a little wary of strangers, making it tough to turn them into friends.  That doesn’t mean I’m not friendly, of course. I have lots of friends, both human and canine, and I love them very much. It’s just that I needed some time to get to know them first, just like I do with you.  I love treats, am a great walker, and am not reactive with other dogs. A loose dog ran up to me one day and I just stood there kissing him until he was caught! Once I learn that I can trust you, I’m a total sweetheart. And, at about six years old, I’m well past the puppy stage.  I do need a home with no small kids or people who don’t understand how to respect dogs. When I’m cornered, like if I’m in a small area or if someone I don’t know well tries to invade my space, I sometimes get scared and will warn you that I’d like you to back off. Just let me come to you first and we’ll soon be pals!

So if you want a handsome, loyal, sensitive boy, come and check me out! I’ll be here waiting for you!
