Hennessy (20260824-03)
DOB: 09/09/2025 Estimated
Age: 11 months
Weight: 41-50 lbs

Spayed/Neutered: Yes

Hennessy is a lab/bulldog mix with a huge personality and absolutely no concept of personal space! This sweet girl originally strayed onto someone’s property, where they kept her for a short time while trying to locate her owner or find her a home. Unfortunately, they had no luck, and Hennessy eventually made her way to us. And let us tell you — this girl does not know a stranger.

Hennessy is incredibly affectionate, loves belly rubs, and is always ready to hand out hugs and kisses. She absolutely adores kids, and recently spent some time out with two kids who loved her just as much as she loved them. She spent more time rolling over for belly rubs and soaking up their attention than she did actually walking.

Because Hennessy is still young, energetic, and convinced that throwing her whole booty into you is a perfectly acceptable greeting, we would recommend supervision around younger or unsteady children. She keeps us laughing constantly with her goofy personality and enthusiasm for absolutely everything. Hennessy is also fantastic with other dogs, well mannered in her kennel, and does a fabulous job waiting to go potty outside. We can’t guarantee that she is fully house trained, but she certainly has some great habits already and would likely pick up a consistent home routine very quickly.

Hennessy is young, social, affectionate, dog friendly, kid loving, and ready to become somebody’s ridiculously lovable best friend. If you’re looking for a dog who will make you laugh, demand belly rubs, launch herself at you for hugs, and love you with her entire body, Hennessy might just be your girl.
