About Benito

Meet Benito, a charming 6-year-old mixed breed dog weighing in at about 40 lbs. He strikes a beautiful balance between playful spontaneity and calm relaxation. Benito is a fantastic car companion, and he walks nicely on a leash; ready to embrace family life just waiting for a loving home. Benito is house-trained, with great manners around the house. He knows his belongings and asks before hopping on the furniture. Friendly with new people, he might get a little bouncy when excited but is otherwise polite around food, preferring a mix of wet food and broth. His playful side comes out with short games of fetch, and he's a water lover—just don't try giving him a bath! Benito is alert and attentive, picking up on commands like sit, down, and paw quite quickly. He enjoys affection on his own terms and loves scratches, especially under his collar, though he doesn't constantly seek attention. Benito does best in a home without children or cats, preferably with a submissive female dog or as the only pet. Please note that he doesn't get along with cats. He’s great with people and loves to snuggle; he’d be perfectly happy lounging next to you on the couch. Since he thrives in a spacious environment, a home that's not an apartment or townhouse would suit him best. Are you ready to give Benito a forever home? Schedule a meet-and-greet today!
