About Benny
Meet Benny, the couch potato extraordinaire and heart-stealing companion who's ready to bring warmth and joy to your life! This charming whippet is known for being a people lover, he can be a little timid when meeting people for the first time. His gentle and serene nature makes him a delightful addition to any family yearning for a loyal canine presence.
Benny is a social fellow and is comfortable around other dogs, although he often acts a little timid and curious when first meeting new canine pals. Ideally, he would thrive in a home with another dog who respects his space and doesn't overwhelm him, but rest assured, Benny is also perfectly content to be your only four-legged companion. Unlike many whippets, he has very low energy needs, preferring to spend his time in the great indoors.
With his classic whippet temperament, Benny is quite chill and takes pride in his reputation as a low-maintenance, easy-going buddy. Due to his short coat, Benny needs to be an indoor dog, with extra warmth during the winter months to keep him snug and cozy. Nothing delights him more than curling up on the couch with his family, where he can enjoy the embrace of a warm blanket and the company of his humans.
Benny is young, full of potential, and eager to become a cherished member of a loving family. With his quiet demeanor and laid-back attitude, he's the perfect fit for those looking for a calm and affectionate companion to share life's quiet moments. Open your heart and home to Benny, and he will be your faithful cuddle buddy for years to come.

Adoption details
We are not open to walk ins, appointments by booking only. All households members must be present before we can adopt an animal out.
As our goal is to adopt animals out from the shelter into loving homes as fast as possible, multiple bookings may be made for the same animal.
We are not able to hold any animals for any reason.
As such, there is a possibility that the animal you may have found a forever home before your appointment. If this is the case we will inform you by phone call as soon as possible.
