About Binky

Meet Binky, a 2-year-old Anatolian Shepherd mix tipping the scales at 91 pounds. This gentle giant was surrendered due to housing issues and is now on the lookout for a loving home. Binky thrives outdoors, especially in the summer, but he'll happily come inside during the winter months. He's housebroken and knows his basic commands, making him a great companion. While Binky has never interacted with babies, he reportedly does well with older children. He may be cautious around strangers at first, but he warms up quickly. Binky enjoys the company of other dogs and has even befriended the resident cat, although the feeling wasn't mutual. He has experience with livestock but hasn't worked in that capacity. It's important to introduce him to new pets slowly to ensure successful interactions. Binky does have a few mischievous habits, such as rummaging through the trash and jumping fences if the chance arises. He's an energetic young dog searching for a nurturing home where he can grow and learn. If you think Binky is the right match for you, reach out to meet him!
