NOTE: Needs fenced yard; needs another dog friend in the home.
UPDATE - 16 FEBRUARY 2022: Quick update on Henry from his foster mom: I think Henry would do best with another dog. He won't go outside in the fenced yard unless on of our resident dogs go with him. Henry loves other dogs!
UPDATE - 6 FEBRUARY 2022 (from foster mom): Henry is the sweetest! His tail wags all the time, and he gets along with our pack like he's lived here for years. He loves belly rubs and walks. He is very gentle when taking a snack. He does not like loud noises. He does not need to be crated. He will pick up a dog toy or bone but doesn't destroy anything. He will sit and watch you cook and eat but does not beg. He has only barked two times, so he is not a big barker. He has some energy but is very laid back and goes with the flow.
Henry will make a great best friend for almost anyone. He likely would not do well living in a busy city or with multiple young kids. He definitely needs a fenced yard since his nose is to the ground all the time when outside. He would enjoy a 4 legged brother or sister.
UPDATE - 29 JANUARY 2022: Henry went off to a foster home today, so stay tuned as we learn more about how this friendly boy does as a house dog!
UPDATE - 27 JANUARY 2022: Henry is now fully vetted and available for fostering or adoption.
NEW - 22 JANUARY 2022: This distinguished gentleman is Henry. He’s super sweet, mellow and low key. He gets along well with other dogs. He came to BREW from the Culpeper Animal Shelter in Virginia where he was dropped off as a stray. The shelter staff says he’s house trained because he kept his kennel clean. He had also already been neutered, so someone took care of him in his previous life. Henry still needs to be checked out by our vet, but he will be available soon.
Questions?
Q: Can you tell me more about a specific dog? Is s/he good with kids / housetrained / good with cats/ etc?
A: What we know is in the write up. Our knowledge about any dog that is not in a foster homes is limited. Once approved, our adoption coordinators will work with you to match you with the right dog.
Q: Can I meet a specific dog?
A: We’re sorry, but you must be an approved adopter to meet our dogs. Pre-pandemic, dogs could be met at adoption days, but you still had to be approved to adopt from an adoption day.
Q: How can I adopt a specific dog?
A: You must submit an adoption application and be approved to adopt. You can do that under Adopt – you can also learn about the adoption process there.. It will take about two weeks for an adoption coordinator to get in touch with you. Please keep in mind that dogs that are available now may be adopted in the meantime. But we are always getting new dogs. You can see them on our website.
Q: Can I add another dog to the list on my application?
A: We don’t hold you to the dogs you listed on your application. It gives us an idea of what you are looking for. Plus it will let us know if someone is interested in one of our special needs / hard to place dogs.
Q: I indicated that I was interested in a specific dog on my application, but I see that s/he has been adopted. What happened?
A: We do not hold dogs. Applicants in the queue before you are being approved and may adopt the dog you are interested in before you are approved. But we are always getting new dogs in and your adoption coordinator will help you find the perfect match.
