Benny is a long-term shelter resident and the fact that he hasn’t been scooped up yet has us all baffled! This happy, belly- rub- loving goofball has a reputation for being friendly and easygoing. In fact, the one thing Benny’s former people were adamant about was just how much Benny loves people!
Benny has been waiting for a new family for quite a while now and has showed some pretty remarkable resilience and an unwavering positive outlook. He loves his volunteer friends, his daily walks in the parks, cuddles on the couch in our “real life” room, and those belly rubs I mentioned before. His volunteer friends have a habit of singing to him, and his favorite song is the Elton John classic, Bennie and the Jets (we haven’t told him it’s not spelled the same).
Benny will likely do best as your one and only, but this big meatball has a big heart to match his size and has plenty of love to spread around. He’s a strong boy and would love an active family where he can go on adventures and get out and see the world. He does not want to see cats though- yuck. He’ll need a kitty free happily ever after.
“Benny is a gem. He`s a big boy, but he`s a gentle giant. He`s young and energetic but has walked well on leash for me and listens to commands/corrections. He`s another guy that really enjoys his human company and would be great for a young active person/family. He also enjoys taking breaks during our walks around the lake to sniff around and enjoy some snacks.” – PACC volunteer
“Benny is one of my favorite dogs to walk. He is easy to leash and a good walker. We usually take an extra long walk and he likes to look around and sniff all the many smells. He listens well and is very attuned to his walker. Benny is also affectionate and enjoys petting and giving kisses and he takes treats very gently and sits for them.”- PACC volunteer
