Benson is a classic case of a dog who just turned up where he wasn’t expected. No collar, no chip, showing up in a Pittsburg neighborhood relying on the kindness of strangers. He’s around 20 lbs and sits somewhere in the 3-4 year range. He’s a mystery mix, with terrier in his look and a gentle, unbothered personality. The person who first found Benson couldn’t keep him for long, but she cared enough to make sure he landed somewhere safe, so now he’s with Mutt Muffins. Here’s the thing with Benson: he’s the quiet, couch-loving sort. Gentle, sweet, docile—he doesn’t race around looking for trouble. Dog and cat tolerant, tolerant with young kids too. He doesn’t destroy things, doesn’t freak out when left alone, and he’s crate trained, but not yet house trained. That said, you’re not going to get separation anxiety here. Benson does have some mild food aggression with other dogs—not people—likely from learning the ropes on the street. Manageable, though, if you feed him in his own space. Stable demeanor, not showing any signs of past trauma, just brings a mellow, easy energy. He slots quietly into the life you already have without drama. Click apply to start the adoption process.
