This beautiful pup is Henrietta. She is a lovely Black Mouth Cur who has been at the shelter for over five months and is so ready to find her forever home! She is sharing a kennel with another female, so she is dog friendly but can be cat tested. Henrietta is up-to-date on her shots, including a one-year rabies vaccination, and she is on a flea and heartworm preventative.
