RESCUE ROUNDUP: Senior dog Henry looking for a calm place to call home

Henry, an 8-year-old senior dog, was found as a stray in late August and brought to Genesee County Animal Care in Flint, Michigan. Weighing around 90 pounds, Henry may appear intimidating at first, but shelter staff describe him as gentle and goofy, needing patience and a calm environment to feel comfortable. Hannah Peterson, a social media specialist at the shelter, notes that Henry is shy around new people and places but quickly warms up and enjoys playful moments. Henry's past is unclear, but it seems he received some care but may have missed out on certain needs. The shelter environment has been challenging for him, causing frustration and stress. Peterson hopes Henry can find a relaxed home where he can adjust and feel content. Given his age and personality, a calm household would be ideal for him. Currently, Henry is undergoing heartworm treatment and is ready for adoption. If you're interested in adopting Henry or learning more about him, you can find more information by following the provided link. Your support could help Henry find his forever home and give him the loving environment he deserves.
