About Bennett

Meet Bennett, a charming male terrier mix, aged 2 and a half years. Weighing around 18 pounds, he’s fully up-to-date on his vet care and ready to find his forever home. Bennett originally came to the vet for boarding, but following the loss of his owner, he's now looking for a new start. Bennett is a sweet and spirited little guy who gets along well with other animals and people. However, he has a tendency to nip if startled while sleeping, so he would thrive in a home without young children. He's a well-behaved companion, house trained, and walks nicely on a leash. His temporary foster has an older dog, and Bennett stays calm amidst any growls or snaps. He dreams of a loving home where he can enjoy walks and play in a backyard. If you believe Bennett could be the right match for you, don’t hesitate to apply! Remember, this is a courtesy post and Bennett is not in the care of Tired Dog Rescue. He's currently located in Gulfport, MS.
