About Benny

Meet Benny, affectionately known as Bento! This playful, toy-loving boy is a delight, getting along famously with dogs of all breeds and sizes. Energetic yet gentle, he earns a solid 10/10 as a cuddlebug, happily nuzzling up for belly rubs at night. Currently in a medical foster home, Benny is awaiting surgery for cherry eye and neutering scheduled for November, so he will be even more comfortable soon. He’s not blind; his vision is expected to improve post-surgery. Each day, his confidence and personality flourish, making him a joy to have around. Benny walks nicely on a leash and knows some commands like sit and shake. We believe he’s a unique Akita/Chow Chow mix. Benny is ready for a loving forever family, and having a furry sibling would be a bonus! Could you be the one to give this special boy the happy home he deserves?
