Benita is a happy, playful, affectionate, and curious 2-year-old Terrier mix weighing 33 pounds. She loves playing with balls, cuddling with her people, riding in the car, and enjoying walks. She is also an independent girl who is content to spend time on her own.

Ideal Home

Benita could thrive in a house, apartment, townhouse, or condo. She can stay home alone in a secure area for several hours and sleeps well there overnight. She has lived successfully with dogs of all sizes and could enjoy a canine sibling or be your only dog. She has not been tested with cats, though her foster believes she may do well with a feline friend. Older children age 10 and up may be a good fit if they approach her slowly and kindly.

Benita can be protective of her food, so this should be managed carefully, especially around other pets. She may cower when approached from overhead and becomes nervous during inclement weather, particularly rain.

Ongoing Health

Benita is spayed, vaccinated, and microchipped. She appears healthy and will need regular heartworm and flea prevention, along with occasional baths and nail trims.

Training & Support

Benita is house-trained in her foster home and should follow a consistent schedule. She walks well on leash, has good basic manners, is not much of a barker, and is very intelligent. Additional training should be a breeze.
