Benny Jo is a friendly, affectionate 7-month-old male Miniature Poodle with a black coat. At 10.9 pounds, he is a playful puppy who enjoys meeting people, exploring, visiting the dog park, and snuggling when playtime is over. He generally gets along well with other dogs, though his enthusiasm can sometimes be a little persistent for dogs who prefer calmer play.

Ideal Home

Benny Jo will thrive with a loving Austin-area family able to provide exercise, attention, consistency, and continued puppy guidance. Because of the dogs' size, the rescue does not place them in homes with children under 5. Adoptions are limited to the immediate Austin area.

Ongoing Health

Benny Jo is up to date on vaccinations, heartworm negative and on preventative, microchipped, and neutered.

Training & Support

His foster family is working with him on house training, and he will need continued guidance in his new home. He enjoys chewing, so appropriate toys will help redirect those puppy habits.
