Meet Benny, the big goofball with an even bigger heart! Benny isn't just happy to be near you; he wants to be a part of everything you do. He's an affectionate and goofy boy, the definition of a Velcro dog. While he might be a little shy when meeting new people or in new places, he warms up quickly and becomes your most loyal fan. Once you're in Benny's circle, you'll have a best friend who's ready for every adventure and eager to share every couch cushion.
Benny has a fun-loving personality, balancing playful energy with snuggly affection. Whether he's hiking, swimming, playing with his dog friends, or curled up watching TV, he's happiest spending time with the people he loves. He's particularly fond of water and has even started diving underwater to retrieve toys! Benny may look tough, but he's one of the sweetest dogs you'll meet, making hilarious Chewbacca-like noises when excited. He thrives on affection and forms incredibly strong bonds with those he trusts. His foster describes him as funny, loving, and incredibly smart, a dog who makes everyone smile.
Ideal Home
Benny would thrive in an active or outdoorsy home with experienced dog owners who can continue building his confidence. He loves children and would do well in a home with another playful dog. He can live with cats, but he can play a bit too rough for some feline friends. Benny is a medium to high-energy dog who pulls on the leash, jumps when excited, and may bark when excited or meeting new people. He has a strong prey drive and must always be securely leashed or harnessed, as he can slip out if not properly secured.
Ongoing Health
Benny is a healthy boy with no ongoing health conditions to report.
Training & Support
Benny is crate-trained and knows "Sit." He is food and toy motivated and eager to learn. He will need continued guidance on leash manners to prevent pulling and to manage jumping and barking when excited. His new family should be prepared to manage his strong prey drive and ensure he is always securely leashed.
