Description:
Henna just arrived!

Meet Henna,
Henna came to us from a high kill shelter out of state. She was turned in by her owner, who had 37 dogs!

Because Henna is coming from a dog hoarder situation she will need someone to help socialize her and teach her what it is like to be a dog in normal living conditions. It will take her a little while to adapt to having regular love and attention.

Henna is a very petite little girl. She's only about 25 lbs. Can you open up your home to this sweetheart?

Henna is now in a loving foster home who will begin her socialization, and teach her how to become a house dog.

UPDATE FROM HENNA'S FOSTER:
Henna is a sweet, gentle little girl that is slowly coming out of her shell. When we first brought her home, she spent almost all of her time in her kennel. She had a hard time going through doorways and up or down stairs. She is better with both now, but still has a little hesitation.
She would let you feed her and refill her water dish, but she wasn't sure about being touched. Now she will take treats from my hand. She is fully potty/crate trained and will go to the door to ask to go out, but had a hard time at first wanting to come back in. She gets along with our Chihuahuas and deals well with the cats (ignores them). Henna walks okay on a leash. She stays with you, but paces a little bit because she is nervous. I am working with her on that. She has not barked once since we have had her. It amazes me at how fast she is learning to trust humans and that life can be fun!

One night, after I got home from work, she came right over to me as I sat on the floor and she let me pet her. Ever since, she cannot get enough petting! She loves to have her tummy rubbed, but will not lay down for you to do it, so she will just walk over and lift her back leg up a little, so you can reach her tummy. She is a very mellow and easygoing girl once she learns to trust you. But she gets very excited if she gets to chase bunnies and squirrels outside.

I gave her a bath the other night and she just stood there and let me scrub her, and then afterward she let me clean her ears and brush her for almost an hour. She looks and probably feels much better now. She is such a good dog that just needs a little extra love and patience.
