About Benito

Benito is a mellow sweetheart who lives for affection. He’s got a playful side but is just as happy plopped down next to you for head scratches or quietly sharing a bench. Around children, Benito really shines—he’s gentle, follows them everywhere, and has a soft spot for being included in their world. His manners are still a work in progress, especially with his excited jumping, but his affection is genuine and consistent. He adores women and kids, greets men with patience, and forms close bonds with small dogs. Benito can be unsure around larger dogs at first, showing a dominant streak, but he settles well with steady redirection. He is mostly house trained, picking up on "sit" and leash skills, but he’s not a kennel fan—he would need a home that understands his anxiety and doesn’t rely on crating him. Benito’s perfect fit is a family with kids and maybe a small dog or two, giving him the cuddles and steady presence he thrives on. Fun fact: Benito is a Pisces, so it's no surprise he's naturally affectionate and a gentle soul. Ready to meet your new best friend? Apply now!
