About Benny

Benny, a nine-year-old Fruggle, recently faced an unfortunate turn when his previous family decided to surrender him. They even threatened to abandon him on the street. Now, he’s adjusting to life at the shelter, and it's clear that this gentle boy is feeling the stress of it all. Weighing in at 36 pounds, Benny has a striking yellow-tan coat and is working hard to feel secure in his new surroundings. He’s been learning to walk on a leash, though he often instinctively searches for his family when outside, which is truly heartbreaking to witness. Benny does get along with other dogs, making him a perfect companion for any multi-pet household. If you can provide the love and patience he needs to thrive, consider applying for Benny today.
