Meet Henry

*This animal is a part of our “Seniors for Seniors” program where we offer senior adopters an opportunity to adopt an eligible pet at a discounted fee.* Hi, I'm Henry!   I'm a charming senior chihuahua with a few quirks. I was rescued as a stray and now have a wonderful foster home at Ruff Start. I've been diagnosed with hypothyroidism, which caused some hair loss, but I'm on medication to help with that. I also have an injured eye that will be removed soon. I have a typical chihuahua personality—I adore cuddles but also enjoy my alone time. I'm not mean, just a bit grumpy occasionally. I get along well with other dogs and even cats.   My favorite pastime is sleeping, making me a great pet for adults who appreciate a quiet home. Adopting a senior dog is like getting a vintage car – it comes with character, a few extra quirks, and might need a bit more maintenance. Expect occasional tune ups at the vet for oil changes (aka meds), and embrace the fact that those 'normal lumps and bumps' are just part of the well-earned charm package! Ruff Start will share all known health information with adopters and rec ommendations to keep your senior dog in top shape. Henry is from a local impound.  If you are interested in getting to know this animal better, please fill out an adoption application. An adoption application is the best way to show your interest in an animal and is not a binding contract. To learn more about Ruff Start’s adoption process and the care our foster animals receive, please visit our How to Adopt page. If you are unable to adopt but want to help this animal and others in our care, you can donate to support the medical and veterinary needs of all Ruff Start Rescue animals.
