Henry

Mixed Breed · Unknown · Adult · 6 years

Henry is a 6 year old french bulldog, he is a typical messer French Bulldog, he's full of fun, silly energy and he's very affectionate. His happiest place is sitting on your lap on the couch. Henry loves going for walks, most of the time. Like a lot of French Bulldogs he will sometimes refuse to budge. He is not a fan of cleaning and is reactive to mops, hoovers and moving cloths. He just needs to be in another room when you clean. Henry has no problem with anywhere on his face or body being touched but hates having his nails trimmed. He does suffer from seasonal allergies for which he gets medication but is otherwise a healthy dog. He is well socialised around dogs but is not a fan of cats. Henry is very clever and responds to commands like sit, stay, come, got to bed. He will do whatever you want to get treats! He is an anxious dog and gets stressed when there are too many people in the house or when there are loud noises. He would be best suited to a quiet, predictable home with no children or possibly teenagers familiar with dogs. When he gets stressed or overstimulated he can communicate this by jumping and has nipped at hands a couple of times in the past. This is not aggression but a reaction to being overstimulated. He can be distracted by treats or telling him to go to bed. Due to changing circumstances in our family we can no longer give him the attention and quiet, safe space he deserves so we are reluctantly looking to rehome him. Contact Ed on

About Henry

What life with Henry looks like

Henry is a adult mixed breed dog waiting at Dogs Aid Animal Sanctuary in Dublin.

An adult dog fits most household rhythms once the first couple of weeks of adjustment pass. Two reasonable walks a day plus play time is usually enough. Plan a "decompression fortnight" — quiet routine, no visitors, no off-leash adventures — to let them settle.

🇮🇪Adopting from Ireland

Irish shelters require a home check (often phone or video) and an adoption contract. Animals are vaccinated, chipped, and registered. Cross-border placements to mainland Europe require the rabies titer test (TRACES system).

Frequently asked

Adopting Henry, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Henry?
Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Dogs Aid Animal Sanctuary handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Henry on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Henry if I live in another country?
Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Dogs Aid Animal Sanctuary will tell you what they need (EU pet passport, rabies titer, transport coordination) and whether they handle transport themselves or refer you to a partner. Plan for an extra €100–€350 in transport costs depending on distance.
Is Henry already vetted, vaccinated, and chipped?
Most dogs on TailHarbor leave their shelter with sterilization, current vaccinations, microchip ID, and an EU pet passport included in the adoption fee. The vet status on this page reflects what the shelter has reported — ask them directly if you need details on specific vaccines, recent bloodwork, or chronic conditions.
What happens if Henry isn't the right fit?
Every reputable rescue accepts an animal back if the adoption genuinely doesn't work — that's part of the standard contract. Talk it through with Dogs Aid Animal Sanctuary early rather than rehoming privately; they know Henry and can place them more successfully than a second-hand listing can.
Why does the description sometimes read awkwardly?
TailHarbor translates shelter descriptions into English from the source language (EN). Translation is imperfect — names of streets, donors, and shelter-specific terms occasionally slip through unidiomatically. For the cleanest read, click the source link to see the shelter's original page.
