About Benny

Benny is a 10-month-old lab mix and a true lovebug. He adores people and is always ready for a snuggle. In his foster home, he gets along famously with all the dogs, showing respect for their space while enjoying playtime with those who want to engage. He’s been great with the older dog who prefers a quieter environment, and he’s learned the ropes quickly with his housemates, having no accidents since day two. Benny walks nicely on a leash and has had wonderful interactions with children, including toddlers, where he remained gentle and kept all four paws on the ground. He's kennel trained and eager to please, but still working on some skills like taking treats gently and keeping his excitement in check. This sweet boy will be neutered soon to ensure he’s ready for his new home. If you're looking for a playful and affectionate companion, Benny could be the one for you.
