This puppy is in Tennessee. Adoption Donation $250 if picked up in TN, $325 plus transport fee for out-of-state adoptions. Meet Bennie, a loving young Beagle mix pup with a gentle heart and an affectionate personality that makes him impossible not to adore. At just six months old and 24 pounds, Bennie is still discovering the world around him and learning what it means to be part of a family, and he’s embracing every moment with sweetness and curiosity. Bennie is the perfect blend of playful energy and cozy companionship. He enjoys going for walks, exploring at your side, and then happily settling in for a well-earned nap. His favorite place to be is wherever you are, often curled up right in your lap or resting close enough to make sure he’s always touching his person. One of his most endearing habits is carrying stuffed animals proudly around the house, as if showing off his treasured collection. He is eager to please, always watching you attentively and ready to earn praise or a tasty treat. As a young dog experiencing life in a home for the first time, Bennie is still learning his routines. He already understands “go potty” when taken outside and is making steady progress with housetraining as long as he has consistency and encouragement. He does well in his crate, usually settling in for naps after a brief moment of adjustment, and he walks nicely on leash, happily following along just a step behind his person. He simply relaxes and enjoys the journey when in the car. Bennie gets along well with other dogs and shows a gentle, respectful nature around animals he meets. He can be a little shy when first meeting new people, but his loving personality shines through quickly once he feels safe. His treat motivation and desire to make his humans happy will make continued training both fun and rewarding. This sweet boy would fit beautifully into almost any loving home ready to guide a young pup as he grows. With patience, consistency, and plenty of affection, Bennie will blossom into a loyal, devoted companion who will happily follow you through life... and probably carry a stuffed toy along for the adventure.
