About Benny

Meet Benny! This resilient boy was rescued from a shelter in Palmdale where he was found as a stray with a broken leg. Now, at approximately 5 and a half months old, he has spent the last five weeks healing in his foster home. His splint is off, and he’s walking well on his own. Ben is a healthy, neutered pup and up to date on vaccinations. Weighing about 35 pounds, he’s doing wonderfully with potty training and leash training while also learning commands. His crate training is progressing well, as he sleeps soundly every night. He gets along great with both his foster siblings—dogs and cats alike—and is fantastic with kids. Benny is eager to embrace a normal puppy life, so he would thrive in a home that can commit to continuing his healing and training journey. If you're interested in meeting Benny, reach out today!
