Meet Beignet—or as his friends like to call him, Benny! 🌟 This delightful 60-pound bundle of joy is just over a year old. Let me tell you, Benny is all about fun! 🎉 He’s got that infectious enthusiasm that brightens even the gloomiest of days. When he’s not frolicking around, you’ll find him pressing against you, longing for those glorious bum scratches. Trust me, once he gets comfy, you might be there for a while! 😄 Though Benny has had a rocky start, life has a way of bouncing back, much like this adorable pup. He was found in an abandoned park at just three months old, facing great adversity with serious skin issues. Named after the sweet Louisiana beignet for the dusting of white fur atop his head, Benny is now a stunning boy who brings joy wherever he goes! His resilience is heartwarming, and he’s grown into a truly magnificent dog, scars and all—just like life itself, right? 💖 Now, Benny is looking for a home where life is a little more predictable. A lower-activity household without little kids or busy teenagers would be ideal for him, and we believe he’s just a little too excited for cats at the moment. If his life has taught him anything, it’s that with a little guidance (and lots of love), he’s going to thrive! Benny is a sponge for knowledge, eager to soak up all the affection and support he can get! 🌈 While he’s making strides on his walks, Benny can still be a bit shy when faced with too much excitement outdoors. Think of him as your fun little student, gradually learning the ropes! 🏃‍♂️ He loves to dash around a fenced yard, keeping himself entertained while happily checking in—treats definitely help! Benny is also house and crate trained, though he might challenge you with occasional chewing—hey, he’s a typical teenager, right? 😉 With some patience, assurance, and, of course, those beloved bum scratches, he’s learning what it is to be cherished and cared for. In terms of requirements for Benny's potential adopters, a solid vet reference is a must! Why? Because it ensures all previous pets have been well cared for and, importantly, spayed or neutered. So make sure to keep that veterinary history in check! The adoption fee includes everything from vaccinations to a microchip and health check. Also, just a heads up, Benny is currently being fostered locally; he’s waiting for his forever home! So, the folks in Maine or New Hampshire, you might just meet this wonderful pup soon! 🇺🇸 Adoptions fees vary, so be sure to look at the options. Remember, whether adopting a puppy or a more mature dog, it requires commitment! If you're ready to step up to the challenge and provide Benny with the loving home he needs, fantastic! Just make sure to apply through the Buddy App! ❤️ Let’s find this beautiful soul the nurturing home he deserves!
