Benny is a 4-year-old Hound and Shepherd mix who brings energy and warmth wherever he goes. He thrives at the park with other dogs and rarely misses a chance to grab his chew toys for a little fun. Hikes and long walks are right up his alley, and a yard would be a bonus for him. When he's not active, Benny switches into full cuddle mode—he's the kind of dog who settles close for nap time, always nearby and leaning in for pets and chin rubs. Benny has displayed some resource guarding behaviors in his foster home, so he needs an experienced adopter and shouldn’t live with kids under twelve. The rescue will support his new home with training to help him succeed. If you’re looking for a loyal, affectionate companion with a playful streak, Benny could be your match.
