About Enzo

Meet Benzo, a charming young mixed-breed dog with a unique blend of Siberian Husky and Border Collie traits. He has lived harmoniously with children, cats, and other dogs, although he does enjoy a good chase after felines. Initially, Benzo might seem a bit fearful; he'll need some time and understanding to feel secure. But once he does, you'll discover his playful and loyal side. Benzo is crate trained and potty trained and comes with a repertoire of tricks, including sit, lay down, paw, and roll over. He loves his stuffed animals but has a bit of anxiety when it comes to thunder. Providing a patient home where he can flourish will go a long way. He’s ready to give you lots of love in return for your understanding.
