About Benny

Benny is a sweet and social boy eager to find a person or family to call his own. With his friendly nature and happy-go-lucky attitude, he has a personality that shines. Benny is ready for adventure as soon as he’s out of his kennel, blending playfulness with a love for cuddling. Daily walks and play sessions with staff and volunteers are some of his favorite things. While he's learned commands like sit and come, he can jump up when excited, so some basic manners training would be beneficial. At the shelter, Benny has displayed his friendly demeanor by getting along great with other dogs he met, and he seemed indifferent to cats, simply sniffing and moving on. Just a reminder, he may require a dental cleaning soon. He’s neutered and up to date with vaccinations. Benny’s adoption fee is $150, covering his neuter, vaccinations, deworming, microchip, heartworm test, and a free wellness exam.
