About Benny
Hi, I’m Benny! 🐾
Have you ever wondered what would happen if you crossed a teddy bear with a Husky puppy?
Well… Look no further.
I’m a happy, curious puppy who has already figured out one very important thing about life: the best place in the entire world is wherever my humans are.
I have what my foster mum calls FOMO — Fear Of Missing Out. If something is happening, I need to be involved!
Cooking dinner? I’m supervising.
Doing chores? I’m helping.
Walking from one room to another? I’m coming with you.
Family activity? Obviously I’m invited!
Everything is new and exciting, and I don’t want to miss a single moment.
🥰 I’m a Professional Cuddle Bug
Whoever becomes my new mum or dad better enjoy cuddles because I take snuggling VERY seriously.
When bedtime arrives, I don’t just want to sleep near you. I want to be touching you.
And pillows? Oh, I LOVE pillows.
If there’s one within reach, it’s mine. I’m a shameless pillow hog and honestly, I think pillows were clearly designed specifically for puppies. That’s my story and I’m sticking to it. 😂
I also love pats, cuddles and long snuggle sessions in bed. Basically, if you're offering affection, I’m accepting.
🧸 My Toy Collection
I love toys.
But I don’t just play with my toys. I also collect them. I have a special little stash of my favourite treasures tucked away somewhere safe.
It’s a secret collection, though, so please don’t tell my foster mum. 🤫
I also LOVE tug-of-war, so hopefully my new family enjoys a good game!
🐱 My Best Friends Are Cats!
One of my favourite things in the world is playing tag with my foster sibling cats and kittens.
My foster mum keeps reminding me that I’m a puppy and not a cat, but honestly, I don’t see the difference. We’re all about the same size!
Okay, their ears do look a little funny compared to mine… but I still think they’re pretty great. 😂
I adore them and I’m gentle when we play. If one of them hisses or gives me a little swipe, I might sulk for a while, but eventually I shake it off and go find something else fun to do.
🐶 Dog Friends? YES!
I LOVE dogs of all sizes.
Give me a doggy sibling and I’ll be ready for zoomies, games and a little roughhousing.
But I’m also perfectly happy curling up next to an older or more relaxed dog for an afternoon nap.
I’ve learned that some dogs want to run and play, while others prefer to be cuddle buddies — and I’m happy with either!
👧 Kids Are Fun!
I’ve had so much fun with kids so far. They’re full of energy, just like me!
I’ve met children aged four and up, and I really enjoy spending time with them.
Sometimes I get a little TOO excited and forget that human hands aren't chew toys. I’m also teething, so if I get a little mouthy, a quick swap for a nice chew toy helps remind me what I should be chewing instead.
I’m still learning, after all!
🚗 Cars Are a Bit Scary
I’m going to be honest…
I’m not a huge fan of the car yet.
They’re big and a little scary, but I put on my big puppy pants and tolerate the journey.
Maybe as I get older, I’ll realise cars aren't so scary after all — and perhaps I’ll even discover that they can take me somewhere fun!
🚽 I’m Learning!
I’m almost there with my toilet training. I still have the occasional little accident, but I’m learning more every day and I know I’ll get there.
I’ve also learned to sit and wait, and surprisingly, I really enjoy it — especially because treats seem to appear when I do it! 😉
I’m still getting used to walking on a leash too. It feels a little strange, but I’m adjusting.
And here's a little secret:
Treats make EVERYTHING happen faster.
I would basically do anything for a delicious treat. 🍖
🏡 I’m Not Really a Crate-and-Dog-Bed Kind of Guy
Now, let's address the elephant in the room...
If you’re looking for a puppy who happily sleeps in a crate, curls up neatly in their own dog bed and naps peacefully in the corner, I might not be your guy. 😂
I much prefer:
Beds. Couches. Piles of pillows. Outdoor lounges. If it’s soft and comfortable, I’m there.
Sure, I know dogs are supposed to have cozy beds outside, but I’ve noticed that humans seem to love outdoor lounges too, so clearly they must be the superior choice.
🏠 When You Leave Me Home Alone
I might have a little cry when you first leave.
Actually, it's more like a short howl. Okay, maybe a tiny tantrum. 😂
But it doesn't last long. Once I've made my feelings known, I’ll eventually curl up on the couch for a nap and wait for you to come home.
If you’re going to be gone for a while, please leave me some fun toys to keep me entertained. I can only nap for so long before I need to find something interesting to do!
💤 I’m a Serious Dreamer
My foster mum says one of the sweetest things about me is how deeply I dream.
When I’m asleep, you might see my little legs twitching like I’m running, hear tiny whimpers or even notice me panting as though I’m chasing something incredibly exciting.
Apparently, I look very cute.
A gentle touch or cuddle is usually all I need to feel reassured, and then I drift straight back off to sleep.
So, What Am I Looking For?
I’m looking for a family who understands that I’m still a puppy and that I have lots to learn.
Someone who will keep teaching me, give me plenty of playtime, let me be part of family life and, most importantly, give me LOTS of love.
I want to be involved. I want to play. I want doggy and kitty friends.
I want cuddles. I want adventures. I want toys. I want treats.
And yes…
I want your pillow. 😂
If you think I might be the perfect little teddy-bear-Husky-puppy for your family, please complete an adoption application so we can meet.
I can’t wait to find my forever home.
Just remember…
If you adopt me, you’re not getting your pillow back. 🐾
