My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Benny is the best; he's a sweet, clever, eager-to-please dog who loves walks, burrowing under blankets, and spending time with his humans. He is house/crate trained, great on leash, and loves people. Benny came into our care after a horrible incident with his previous owners that left him with burn scars down his back. Since then, Benny has been thriving in a foster home in New York City. While Benny prefers the company of humans over other pets, he's gradually improving when encountering other dogs. Patience, love, and understanding will go a long way in helping him become even more comfortable! After all he's endured, we are looking for a special adopter who can give Benny the love he deserves. 



 



All dogs will be altered, microchipped, and receive age-appropriate vaccines prior to adoption. Please note that the listed location for this dog may not be accurate due to technical limitations of this database and we have transportation options available within 6 hours of NYC (so don't let location hold you back)!
