Water is life. Belly rubs are mandatory. Benito is ready! Benito was left tied at our gate. At first, he seemed quiet, sad, and like your typical couch potato. But once he felt safe, his real personality came out—and let’s just say… he is not about that couch life if there’s water involved. Water is Benito’s thing. Bowls, hoses, kiddie pools, even rain—if it splashes, he’s in. He’s playful, full of life, and happiest when he’s moving, exploring, and having fun. He will do best with someone who can match his energy and give him outlets to play, stay active, and enjoy life with him. The way to calm him? Belly rubs. Instant reset. He melts, relaxes, and turns into the sweetest, happiest boy. Benito is about 3 years old, weighs around 45 lbs (and could use a little help with a fitness plan), is fully vetted, and does well in playgroups with dogs his size. He’s ready for a home that understands both sides of him—the fun, goofy water lover and the soft dog who just wants to feel safe and loved.
