Meet Benny Benny is a 6-year-old Husky/German Shepherd mix who was surrendered due to downsizing and struggles with separation anxiety. He's a deeply affectionate dog who forms strong bonds with his people and truly thrives on companionship. According to his previous owner, Benny is friendly and has lived with other dogs, cats, and children. He tends to prefer dogs smaller than him and has shown some resource guarding around food, so structured feeding routines and thoughtful management will be important in his new home. Because Benny experiences separation anxiety, his previous owner recommends a home where someone is around often to help keep him company and continue building his confidence when alone. Since arriving at the shelter, Benny has made wonderful progress. Staff describe him as friendly, easy to approach, and extremely affectionate. He's easy to handle and loves being close to his people-he'll even gently "hold hands" and sit beside you for reassurance and comfort. Benny does pull on leash during walks, so he'll benefit from continued training and consistency. Beneath his energetic shepherd/husky personality is a sweet, sensitive dog who just wants to feel safe and loved
