BENNIE

Bennie is a 2-year-old sweetheart with bright, expressive eyes that show just how smart he is. It’s easy to see he is a very special dog with endless potential. He’s affectionate but also has an independent side; he settles quickly in his kennel and does not have separation anxiety. Bennie spent over 80 days at the shelter before being fostered for approximately 2 months. He presents as very high-energy at the shelter, but that behavior does not reflect who he is outside of it. Any time he is able to leave the shelter—whether on day trips or while in foster care—he settled quickly and showed a completely different side of himself. In a home setting, he is calm, sweet, and eager to connect. He enjoys playing with toys, he is funny, and has a playful side to him. And of course, he loves pets and baby talk. He also enjoys being brushed and does well taking a bath outside. Bennie is an intelligent dog who is just beginning to learn what it means to be someone’s pet.

Ideal Home

Bennie requires an experienced dog owner that will provide structured and consistent training. He has a strong prey drive and should not be adopted to a home with cats or small animals.

Ongoing Health

Bennie completed heartworm treatment while in foster care.

Training & Support

Bennie is potty trained and kennel trained. He learned the commands sit and leave it. He enjoys going on walks and is still working on leash manners. Consistent training will ensure that he continues growing into a well-mannered boy.
