Benny came into care at only 5 months old with a broken leg. After months of crating and strength building, Benny is now ready to find his forever home. He is quite a loving chap, with all those months of having to be kept quiet it has sure turned him into a snuggle bug. He is happy to laze around near you on a rainy day.
Benny is super dog friendly, all he wants to do is play with any dog that is around. He can get a bit rough with the older smaller dog in his foster home but will walk away when she corrects him.
Benny is cat friendly, when settled and in the house he is happy to snuggle and nose bop the cat in some light rough play. He and the cat will touch noses and are ok, however when in the backyard he tends to want to chase the cat. He is learning not to do this but it's still a work in progress.
Due to his age and excitable nature Benny needs to be supervised around children. He is full of licks and happy to get lots of pats from them but sometimes he gets so excited he still jumps up on them.
Benny is starting to learn how to walk on a head halti. It's been a work in progress since his walks up until now have been kept really short. But seeing that lead come out when it's time for a walk really lights up his eyes. Benny is crate trained and still sleeps in his crate of a night time without any incidents.
Benny is ready to give a lucky person/family lots of love and loyalty.
Benny is $350 to adopt and comes desexed, microchipped, C5 vaccinated and given flea, tick and worm preventatives.
