Benito (aka Bennie) is a 2-year-old, 12-pound neutered Papillon mix with a huge personality. He is affectionate, social, hilarious, people-friendly, and happiest when included—whether warming your lap, joining you at the brewery, or cuddling beside you at night.

Ideal Home

Benito needs a family that will provide affection, structure, and consistent boundaries. He has bitten before and may resource guard, so he is best suited to an experienced adopter who will calmly enforce rules and redirect him. He is good with dogs when appropriately managed. His behavior around cats and other small animals is unknown.
