About Benny

Meet Benny, a beautiful mix of Australian Cattle Dog and Labrador Retriever. Benny gets along well with other dogs and enjoys romping and playing with them. He falls in step with his people, tail wagging and hoping for treats, always ready to trot alongside or follow you around the house. When first meeting new folks, Benny can be a little reserved, but once he settles in, his sense of humor and quirky charm come out. Benny is completely housebroken, healthy, neutered, and up to date on vaccinations. He’d thrive with room to roam, so a farm setting or a home with a decent yard would be ideal to satisfy his need for enrichment and activity. Benny is currently in Pasadena, CA, and is available for adoption throughout California and Oregon. Born January 1st, that makes Benny a Capricorn—he’s both steady and independent by nature.
