About Benny

Meet Benny, a joyful addition to our rescue family. At around 10 months old and weighing 14.5 lbs, this charming poodle mix is still pretty skinny and needs to gain a bit of weight. His long, slender legs give him an adorable look, even after a grooming session that left him feeling renewed. Benny came to us in rough shape, severely matted with claws curling under his little paws. He’s now on the mend, but it’s his sweet spirit that truly shines. Initially hesitant and confused about entering a home, he's gradually discovering the comforts inside. Benny adores cozy beds and blankets, and he's learning to embrace playtime and cuddling. He loves snuggling on his foster mom's lap, and with a little guidance and patience, his potential is limitless. Outside, Benny enjoys exploring the yard and keeping an eye on the resident dogs. This friendly guy is great with other dogs and loves interacting with children. If you’re ready to welcome a happy companion into your home, consider applying to meet Benny! Make his day by giving him a loving home.
