Adoption Update: Life with Henry

Henry
Henry

Henry was merely a puppy when he and his littermates were brought to the Humane Society of Tampa Bay in a cardboard box. After a short time at the shelter, Henry met his best friend Sydney and went from box-pup to man of the house. Since going from homeless to homebound, Henry has become a discerning pup with a penchant for whipped cream snackies from the coffee drive-thru. Although Sydney was the one to change Henry’s life through adoption, a look back at the past year would suggest the rescue was mutual.

 

 

I was in a really dark place when I got him and when he came into my life I knew I had to step it up to give him everything I can. 

 

As Henry approached his first birthday, Sydney knew big plans were in order, after all, this was a celebration of not only his 1st birthday but also an anniversary of unconditional love and friendship. 

"It’s a whole new foundation of love, it’s unconditional, I would do anything for this dog.”

To celebrate, Henry spent the day doing the things he loves most, with the person he loves the most.

Like spending a day in Tampa Bay, out on the town with his BFF

 

and, scarfing down Puppucino's on a coffee run

 

then burning off those Puppucino calories at the dog park

 

and, showing off his stylish looks in a snapback and “birthday boy” bandana

 

finally, ending a long day with a relaxing dip in his very own doggie pool.

Happy 1st Birthday Henry!
