About Benny

Benny is one of the 18 dogs that recently found themselves homeless. This 4-year-old Beagle mix tips the scales at 24 pounds, and he’s on the lookout for a loving, patient home that can help him learn what it means to be a beloved pet. Initially a bit shy, Benny spent his first two days tucked away in his kennel, slowly opening up over the course of a week. Now, he’s beginning to reveal his sweet personality, showing that being loved is not intimidating at all. Though he's laid-back with a sprinkle of playful energy, Benny still needs help with house, crate, and leash training. He thrives in environments that allow for slow introductions, ideally with a securely fenced yard or an apartment setting where daily walks are a must. More than anything, he seeks someone who will encourage him to build confidence and embrace life as a happy dog. If you’re that special person who can help Benny come out of his shell, you’ll discover a loyal friend waiting just for you. His adoption fee of $150 covers his spay, vaccinations, a wellness exam, a heartworm test, and a microchip. Ready to give Benny the home he’s dreaming of? Click apply to start the adoption process.
