Henry was born in Minnesota. He was a stand-out at birth; the only boy in a family with seven sisters. He learned very quickly how to assert himself to always get his own way. Tragically, his mother passed away when he was only three weeks old, and he was taken into foster care with the Minnesota Wisconsin Collie rescue. Before he could even get checked out by a vet, the ink still wet on his paperwork with the collie rescue, he learned he would be moving to Wisconsin. He was adopted by the Malett family.

Henry currently lives in Hartford, WI where he protects and takes care of 23 acres of land with his two siblings, Taz and Bear. In his free time, you will find Henry guarding the property, chasing his siblings, challenging himself with puzzles, WWF wrestling where he always comes out on top, showing off his speed and grace with non-stop zoomies, and raising a raucous to communicate his every need. The youngest of three, he has decided he loves being the baby of the family. One of the perks he has enjoyed is meeting all his co-workers and taking many trips to the Hatch office to train with them. He has over 4.5 years of experience working at Hatch. Sniffing out talent, delivering cheer to the staff and prancing through the office greeting new guests as they arrive are a few of his unique talents. If you swing by our offices, we hope you have a chance to say hi to our Chief Morale Officer, Henry!
