About Bennie

Bennie is a loving and affectionate Belgian Shepherd Malinois, approximately 6 years old. Rescued from a working dog facility facing closure, she escaped a fate that could have sent her to a shelter. Now, she embodies the joy of companionship with her knack for loving humans, having never met a stranger she didn’t adore. Bennie gets along well with other dogs, especially males, provided she’s properly introduced. While her behavior with children is still unknown, her friendly demeanor suggests she would likely do well. This smart girl thrives on having a task and needs an active home that can provide her with plenty of exercise. She enjoys doggie daycare and maintains a calm demeanor indoors, curling up comfortably while welcoming visitors without fuss. However, Bennie's incompatibility with cats is clear, so she would be best suited to a feline-free home. This true love bug is ready to fill your life with joy. What are you waiting for?
