Hi!  My name is HENRY!

Breed: Canaan Dog (Look a like) Colour: Blonde Sex: Male
Born: Approximately 1997

History: His owner moved away and left him on the streets.

Hello! My name is Henry and I am very handsome and so pleased to be able to write to you.

I had been living at the PAWS Sanctuary since 1999, ever since I was rescued from a life of scavenging on the streets by one of the local vets. She had seen me around, getting thinner and thinner apparently, and contacted PAWS to see if they could take me in. Which of course, they did.

It was all very confusing at first, I was not used to living with so many other dogs – do you know there are sometimes as many as 50 dogs and puppies living here! All of them have a sad tale to tell about their past life, but all are well looked after and soon realise that we are so lucky to be here.

Apparently there is something about Spanish-born dogs that makes us all very friendly and gentle and it is rare to find a dog that bites. Of course there are personality clashes from time to time between the dogs but the Volunteers are very careful who they house together and try very hard to make sure that no-one gets bullied or is feeling unhappy or miserable.

There are various enclosed kennels with outside runs and a block of quarantine kennels which all new-comers go to make sure that they are healthy and not give us any diseases that they have picked up before they mix with us. I had my own special place a fine hotel which I shared with some of the other sponsored dogs and sometimes we allowed some other dogs to share it with us. Every day a team of hard-working Volunteers would come in to clean up, feed, water, give any necessary medicine and generally look after us all. Twice a week we have vets who come in and vaccinate all the newcomers, treats any injuries or illnesses and generally checks us all over.

It was unusual for a dog to have been at the Sanctuary as long as I had been and there is only one other who has been here longer, Lady, my girl-friend has been here since the very beginning! We have a dedicated group called the Homing Committee who spend all their time finding homes for all the dogs, puppies, cats and kittens that come under PAWS care and they are extremely successful. Last year they found homes for over 500 dogs and puppies! As a result most dogs only live at the kennels for a couple of months at most before being adopted. No-one can understand why I hadn’t been offered a home (neither could I!) but, thanks to the PAWS policy of never putting a healthy dog to sleep, I continued to live there and was very happy.

THEN WAG MY TAIL and call me “lucky”, at last after all these years I now have a foster home, with a family ! I found it a bit strange, and of course I had to train my new family and the children, to how I like things. I think I’ve got it cracked now, Robert and Catherine, both play ball with me forever. My new Mum talks about me all the time and takes me everywhere. I like going in that funny thing with four huge paws called a car. In order to pay for my keep, vaccinations, yuck etc, I hate those needles and seeing that animal doctor, but we all should have them EVERY YEAR, also to help PAWS to save other dogs, . I will continue to be a Sponsor dog, which is where you come in!

Thank you so much for being my Sponsor.
