About Benny Playful friendly

Meet Benny, a joyful and playful 3-year-old pup weighing in at 18 pounds. He might be known as a professional cuddler, but he's also got a lively spirit that shines through during playtime. Benny is up to date on his vaccinations and has already been neutered. He’s the kind of dog that adapts easily; he’s sweet, calm, and loves to share cuddle sessions after fun activities. If you have other pets, you're in luck! Benny gets along wonderfully with dogs of all sizes and is quite fond of cats too. Making new friends is a talent of his! Crate-trained and ready for adventures, he’ll keep his humans informed if he hears something unusual, but he's not excessive with his barks. His ideal life involves simple pleasures—a loving family, a cozy bed, and lots of love to give. Benny was rescued in Texas and is looking for a foster-to-adopt family in the northern states. This means you’ll have a chance to see if you’re the right fit in a low-pressure setup. Transport to his new home runs every other weekend, with pickup options in Winchester, VA, East Hartford, CT, and Brattleboro, VT. Benny senses that his special person is out there—if you’ve read this far, perhaps it’s you!
