ABOUT ME…
Hi, I’m Benny! I’m almost 8 years old and came from a puppy mill, where I spent my early years as a breeding dog. Life started rough, but thanks to some amazing people, I was rescued just in time. I have limited eyesight, but don’t worry—my hearing is fantastic, and I use my dog friends as guides. These days, I love nothing more than playing with toys, napping in cozy dog beds, and soaking up the gentle, happy life I’ve always deserved. I'm also getting more confident walking on different types of floors, which is a big step for me!
I AM GREAT WITH…
Other dogs! I love having doggy friends to follow and play with. After a good play session, you’ll usually find me curled up in a soft, comfy bed. I do like kids as long as they walk to me slowly. I also do well with cats. I love my crate to rest in.
I AM STILL WORKING ON…
Potty training is getting better every day! Since I never had the chance to learn before, I’m still catching up, but I’m making great progress with a little patience and encouragement. Leash walking is a new adventure for me, too, and I’ll do best with a fenced-in yard where I can safely explore.
I AM NOT GOOD WITH…
Seeing! My vision is very limited, so I sometimes bump into things or get startled if I don't know what’s coming. If you talk to me and let me know what’s happening, it helps a lot! My foster mom always announces when she's going to pick me up, and that makes me feel much safer.
I REQUIRE...
A fenced-in yard and another dog in the house to follow and learn from. I need an owner with lots of patience and love to give me. It takes a while for me to warm up to a new home, but if you give me time, I will love you!
