Henry ~ Maltese X (on trial 3/11/2017)

Hello, my name is Henry and I am a 6 year old Maltese cross. I am really hoping that I can find a loving family to care for me. I have been desexed and all of my worm and flea treatments are up to date, as well as my vaccinations. My foster carer says that I am a really funny boy who is full of personality. She gives me a weekly brush to keep me looking great! I am in good health and looking forward to meeting my new family.

I adore children so a family who have children over eight years who are responsible with dogs would be great! I really enjoy a game of tug and I can chase a ball and bring it back in a flash (sometimes). I presently live with 8 other dogs, some smaller than me and one bigger. I get on quite well with them all, although I am a bit energetic for the older ones. I also reside with a hen and a rabbit but I am really not suited to small pets as I want to play with them.

My foster carer has a nice bed for me so that I can feel comfortable inside regardless of the weather. There is a doggy door at my carer’s home and I use it for those calls of nature. Although I am an inside dog, I don’t mind spending some time outside when the weather is good, in fact I have two days a week outside and I rarely bark or make a fuss.

I enjoy my walks and the experiences in the outside world. I am learning to walk very nicely on my lead and the sounds of traffic and other dogs are of no concern. In fact even the fireworks and storms don’t trouble me. I am not a fussy eater but really if I could be indulged with an occasional bone I would be ever so happy!

I come when I am called and will sit when asked. I adore belly rubs and pats! My foster carer has spent three months with me and knows me quite well now. She thinks that I would appeal to a variety of homes. I am happy to lounge around all day or play, I would make a great companion for someone who likes to go for walks or for older children who would play with me and be respectful of my age because I can be a handful when I am over excited. My foster Mum thinks that I am really bright and some training would be of great benefit to me.

I am an excellent climber but do not jump or dig at all so I will need fencing that isn't necessarily high but has no foot-holds for me to climb.

If you think that we suit one others lifestyle Then you can contact my foster carer by email anne_mccondach_3@hotmail.com, I am so excited about meeting you!
