Starting to Rehome Henry
Now that Henry’s had things going right for him for a few months, his health issues are pretty much taken care of, and his separation anxiety is under control, I’ve decided that it’s time to rehome him.
Why rehome Henry, my happy jogging and napping buddy? There’s a few good reasons. Mainly, Eowyn isn’t happy with him in the house, and he’s not happy when he’s around Eowyn. Having him around forced me to address some of Eo’s issues and we’re doing better in a lot of ways, but she needs some intensive training now and I can’t do that when my time’s split between her and Henry. Of course, he’ll have a home here whenever he needs one, but he and Eowyn would be happier with him elsewhere.
I’m very selective about where I will adopt him to. He’s got to go to a home that has or has had dogs before and uses (or is willing to learn) positive training methods. He will need to be able to stay on his medications, which can get expensive. And I’d prefer if he didn’t have to be crated all the time (~ 8 hours a day like he does here) and if there were some young boys for him to belong to.
I absolutely love Henry, and rescuing him has had a hugely positive impact on my life. With love, it’s not so much about holding on as it is about making sure those you love are happy.
