Benny – ID #17577 – Kennel #20 Arrived 03/15 as a stray – Pit Bull Terrier – Blue & White – Male – 3 years old – 71 lbs – Will be neutered prior to adoption – Up to date on vaccines – Heartworm positive Meet Benny — a handsome blue and white Pit Bull Terrier who arrived at the shelter on March 15th as a lost boy whose family never came back for him. Through no fault of his own, this 3-year-old, 71-pound gentle giant finds himself waiting in Kennel #20, hoping someone will finally choose him and give him the forever home he so deserves. Benny already knows sit, stay, and lay down — proof that somewhere along the way, someone loved him enough to teach him. That love wasn't enough to bring them back for him, but it left a mark on this sweet boy that makes him all the more special. He is ready and waiting to pour all of that learned loyalty and devotion into a family who will never let him go. Benny is heartworm positive. If you live in Georgia, Cobb Animal Services will cover the entire cost of heartworm treatment if you adopt him. You simply need to bring him back for his scheduled treatment appointments and give the prescribed oral medication at home. Heartworms are not contagious between dogs. With proper treatment and care, heartworm-positive dogs can go on to live full, happy lives. Every dog deserves a soft place to land, a warm bed, and someone to call their own — and Benny is no exception. He has already waited too long. If you have room in your heart and your home for this big, beautiful boy, come meet Benny today. He has so much love left to give, and all he needs is the chance to give it to you.
