Weeks went by, and Henry seemed full of energy. Zach figured it was time to find Henry
a forever home. Luckily, lots of people wanted to adopt Henry. One of them was Caro Aguilar. Caro said she felt like Henry belonged with her just as much as he did with Zach.

He expressed that Henry was going to pass away surrounded by love, which was all they could ever ask for.

Henry’s new life …
After this meetup, Caro decided to adopt Henry when she met him in person. She knew
that the old dog wouldn’t have much time to continue its life, so she and her family members made sure that he had lots of fun adventures in his last days. Caro and her family started to do their best to make Henry’s life better for till he passed away. To share Henry’s life with the world, and also they wanted to share that adventurous story with the public and they created an Instagram account with the username @seniordoghenry.

Henry needed some time to familiar with his new house, but he soon showed that he was
still a young dog full of energy, just like he did with Zach. Caro, his new owner, mentioned that she was so worried when she first brought him home that she slept downstairs with him for two weeks. However, Henry eventually settled into his new home and was much loved by his new family. After two weeks, he began to grow. During their daily walks, he began extending his distance, and Caro was pleasantly surprised when he managed to walk about a mile without stopping.
Henry left all of us …
Unfortunately, he passed away in June. Caro and her family announced his passing in a
post on social media, where Caro shared that he passed peacefully with their family by his side. She also mentioned that he passed away while in her arms and lap, surrounded by love, ear rubs, boops, and plenty of kisses from her and the girls. What an unbearable moment for a true loving owner. It could make her heart broken.

Caro, who became Henry’s new home after Zach, felt sad for a while. It was like a dark
cloud followed her, making her unhappy. Then, Henry arrived with his wagging tail and happy barks, chasing the cloud away like sunshine. He became her best friend, showering her with love every day. Caro wasn’t the only one who felt happy Henry brought smiles to everyone he met. He even became part of Caro’s family, spreading love and joy wherever they went.
Although Henry is no longer with us, his story inspires others. He reminds us that even
older dogs deserve love and a happy home, just like Caro gave him. By opening our hearts and homes to senior dogs, we can make the world a brighter place, filled with love and happiness, just like Henry did. We all appreciate Caro for showing us the joy senior dogs can bring and giving Henry a wonderful life.

People’s interest in love can be complex. When people come with a baby animal or a
young animal in a shelter, they often adopt it without much thought and welcome it into their lives. However, when they come across an older animal, they try to ignore it. It is just dismissing them. This is also the case with dogs. Many older dogs are left waiting in shelters because people are hesitant to take on an older pet. However, there are rare stories where a lucky senior dog finds truly loving owners during its last weeks.
How miraculous life is!
Henry was an elderly dog who had reached the age of 16. Due to his age, he had to
face several health issues such as deafness, partial blindness, and cancerous growth in his body. Fortunately, Zach Skow, the co-founder of Marley’s Mutts Dog Rescue, took Henry in as an endof-life foster. After Zach’s arrival, Henry’s life changed completely.
Zach remembered the way Henry’s face looked. It was like you could just feel how
much pain he was in. Henry was like an old dog. He is a super senior. Way older than most
seniors, and things weren’t going well for him. Zach could hear him struggling to breathe and saw him trembling all over.

Recovery of Henry…
Zach initially believed that Henry only had weeks, or even days, to live. However, after
settling into his new temporary home and receiving love and kindness, Henry became a happy and playful dog. Zach said that he got better almost by the hour, and he was completely reborn. Henry underwent successful surgery to remove his cancer and continued his radical turnaround, with more life and joy every day
Zach’s daily gallop became more energetic over time. He believed that being part of a
family was crucial for Henry’s success. Pet foster care can positively impact senior dogs like
Henry who was saved from being euthanized or dying alone in a shelter. Zach’s love gave Henry a new life.
