Hello, humans! My name's Benny/Bennee aka Benny Boy and I'm SO excited to have caught your eye! I'm an energetic, adorable 2 year old corgi mix with special needs. I feel so lucky to have a second lease on life here in Canada-- now I just need the right person/family to scoop me up and bring me to my forever home.
I was born in a small village in the Middle East and when I was one month old, a kind human found me whimpering under a tree all alone. The whereabouts of my mother and littermates were unkown, so they kindly brought me to a shelter where I stayed for 1.5 years with other dogs in a small room and yard. Even though the conditions weren't the greatest at the crowded shelter, it provided me the opportunity to come to B.C. in December 2023.
Since my arrival, I've stayed with two awesome foster families who have been attentive to my incontinence problems; providing me with belly bands and diapers to wear while indoors. A lot of the times I alert my handlers about my need to eliminate by going to the door, but sometimes I can't control it. The reason for my incontinence has not been diagnosed, but are speculated to be neurologically related.
I am a very friendly and sociable boy who gets along very well with other dogs. In fact playing with other dogs is one of my favourite things to do so I would love a home where I will have a playful canine companion or where I will get contact with other dogs at dog parks.
I can be a bit timid when meeting new humans, particularly men, but it doesn't take me long before I am seeking their affection. I am eager to please, and very food motivated so training me is a breeze. Being a very gentle soul who doesn't have any resource guarding, I am also great with kids. Sometimes my joy for life makes me get the "zoomies" and I race around happily in large circles, always staying close to my human.
Leaving me home alone for a few hours is no problem as I have no separation anxiety. A home with a fenced yard is ideal for me so I can run, explore, and eliminate without my diaper/belly band.
I am neutered, vaccinated, and microchipped. My adoption fee is by donation.
