The Henry Half Way House

My wife and I love animals. We have pets instead of kids. And we have always had a soft spot in our hearts for animals who needs homes. Many times we have taken in dogs and cats, fostered them, and found homes for them. We often joke we are a half way house for pets. Our current project include two kittens who were abandoned in a dumpster.

Got Milk?

at around 2 weeks old they could fit in the palm of your hand

This is a permanent member of our family. Her name is Brigitta who is a German Shepherd. We didn't tell the kitty he wasn't going to get any milk from her. He soon found out for himself.

Brigitta has a sister who belongs to a friend of ours, but often comes to visit us. I sometimes can't tell them a part, and certainly not in this picture.

There were actually 4 abandoned kittens, but we only took 2. Another friend took the other 2.

Too darn cute

The dog on the right is Layla. She is our first adopted. The black dog in the lower left is pepper... another one of our guests. As you can see, we weren't the only ones who took an interest in the kittens.

This is Ian. He is our English Setter.... he's homely.

The kittens were found in an empty motor oil box. Their names all came from something on that box. This little guy's name is Bar Code.

And her name is Dex

Finally, we have Chandler. She actually was taken by a friend of ours who found her abandoned as well. We ended up being the permanent recipients of her. I was never a cat person until I met her.

Luckily, we have already found a home for the kittens. They are actually going there today. I can't say I'm sorry to see them go. Our house is a little crazy right now with 6 animals.... as if 4 isn't.
