ABOUT THIS ANIMAL:

Meet Henrietta: Queen of the Living Room Savannah

Deep in the heart of the suburban savannah roams a rare and magnificent creature: Henrietta. With the grace of a gazelle and the curiosity of a tiny jungle explorer, this adventurous pup is on a quest to find her forever pride.

Henrietta is a seasoned sniffari scout when it comes to sniffing out the best scents and tracking mysterious backyard critters (don’t worry, she’s strictly an observer, not a hunter). Her tail wags like a happy jungle drum whenever she meets new friends, both human and canine. Brave yet gentle, Henrietta loves to venture on daily expeditions: a neighborhood walk, a hike through grassy trails, or an epic journey to the treat jar.

When the day’s adventures wind down, Henrietta transforms from daring explorer to cozy companion. She even does her own version of a lion's pose, with her front paws on the floor and back paws on the couch for the ultimate stretch. She’s happiest curled beside her people, keeping watch over her pride while dreaming of tomorrow’s escapades.

Henrietta’s Sniffari Highlights:

- Friendly with humans, cats, and dogs, and eager to join a loving “pride”

- Enjoys outdoor adventures and exploring new territory

- Expertly traverses both bed and couch to settle in with her humans

- Loves a short play session with balls, toys, and zoomies

If you’re looking for a loyal sidekick to accompany you on life’s great safari, Henrietta is ready to pack her imaginary binoculars and head home with you.
