About Benny

Meet Benny — your new little shadow! Here’s a 3-year-old, 13 lbs, neutered dog who is eagerly looking for a loving home. Benny is a classic terrier with a delightful personality. He adores exploring the world through his snuffling nose. With a gentle demeanor, he walks beautifully on a leash, though a captivating scent may lead him off on an investigative adventure. Once the excitement settles, you’ll find him happily nestled at your feet, content in your presence. This affectionate little guy has done well with other dogs and particularly enjoys the company of small ones. He’s shown he can coexist with cats too, living harmoniously with two laid-back felines. Benny may bark at a cat sometimes, but he generally keeps his cool, even when kitten antics occur. In the car, he’s a model passenger, enjoying the journey harnessed beside you. He’s making great progress on his potty training and while he still occasionally marks, he’s learning and adjusting nicely, especially since his recent neutering. Benny seeks a companion who can appreciate his loyal and quiet nature. He does experience some separation anxiety, so he’ll thrive in a home where he can stay close to his person. With a bit of patience, Benny promises unconditional love in return. He’s ready to become your devoted little buddy! What are you waiting for? Apply today!
