Meet This Month’s Featured Pet: Benny
Benny is a special guy who deserves a great home in the northern New Jersey or New York City area. This pup was found on the streets and kept by the person who took him in. But he’s been living outside his whole life and has never known the comfort of a soft dog bed or snuggling close to a loving owner.
We hope that’s about to change. Benny is seven to eight years young and is a delight to be around. He appreciates the company of other pets, chewing on rawhide bones, and learning what life on the “inside” is like. He’s a very playful pooch for his age and will be a great companion. He’s been great around other foster dogs, but prefers to sit alone chewing on a bone when they’re all outside together. Benny’s shy when he first meets you and takes some time to warm up. But once he does, you’ll fall in love. This behavior is not unexpected since Benny spent most of his life penned up alone, but he’s adjusting very well to his new situation.
Benny weighs 32 pounds, so he’s a great size. He’s realizing how nice it is to be touched and cuddled by a human. He can be somewhat of an escape artist, so he needs a responsible owner who will be vigilant about keeping him safe. He likes being outdoors since he was an outside dog all his life, so living in a home where he won’t be cooped up all day long is preferable. You can make a real difference in this dog’s life, so please consider Benny if you’re looking for a new family member. Benny is neutered, up-to-date with all shots, and has been micro-chipped.
