Here's what the humans have to say about me:
Benny is a friendly, intelligent, active, people-loving Labrador Retriever/Rottweiler mix who is a little under 2 years old and about 70lbs. He was found on the streets of Houston as a young puppy and has been living with his caring foster parent ever since. We were contacted by his foster dad who was needing help getting him with a rescue so he could finally be adopted, and how could we say no to that face??
Benny loves going on adventures and is a total outdoorsy man! He walks well on a leash and is easy to bring around with you wherever you want to go. He enjoys going on long walks with his people, playing fetch in the backyard, and exploring all types of new places. This is a dog you can practically take anywhere! He is so well-mannered and loves everyone he meets, and every day is a new fun filled adventure for him! Benny is a very smart boy and catches on quickly to learning new commands and tricks. He is also very aware of what his people want from him and mirrors the energy of whoever is around him at the time.
Benny is good with other dogs but prefers to not be dominated over by other dogs. He enforces his boundaries well and is very fair with his corrections, but he won't stand up for himself if the other dog were to escalate it into a fight. He would be fine being the only dog in the household, but an even-tempered laid back pup would make a great canine companion for him. Benny has not been in close proximity to cats, but he does like to chase the ones on the street as well as the squirrels that run by. We think Benny would be fine with a kitty in the house, but he may need some lessons in not chasing them if they run from him!
Benny is located in Houston TX but can be transported to most US states for adoption.
