About Benny ~ 10mo Mixed Breed(On Trial 3/9/22)
Benny The Handsome – Is a 10 month medium sized very handsome mixed breed dog who
loves to go for walks with you where he finds everything interesting - cars, people,
driveways, etc. (If he wasn’t so Handsome he could easily be Benny-The-Curious or Benny-
The-Cuddly, or even Benny-The-Very-Smart). He also loves going for car trips with you. We
think he was a Car Enthusiast in a past life as he wants to look inside the windows of all the
cars we walked past! (But being very smart he learnt quickly that that is not what dogs, or
people, do!).
Benny is the most loving, affectionate and loyal dog. He will want to cuddle you while you
watch a movie or study or work, as well as help you hang out the washing or pull out weeds.
He will provide cooking advice, be a fitness coach and help you relax in the sun.
Benny is also wonderful with other dogs and LOVES to play with them. He understands
other dogs and knows that when they find a pup too active that he needs to give them space and time out.
Since coming into care Benny The Handsome has been improving his skills and learning new
ones. He is smart PLUS will do anything for food which makes learning easier for both him
and his human. Benny learnt to use a doggy door in about 5 minutes (a record!) and is doing a wonderful job at walking nicely on a lead (he can use a halti now). He sits before crossing a road and has mastered doorway manners of being able to sit and wait. He is very smart and keen to learn, and with ongoing training will be an easy and fun dog to explore with.
Benny The Handsome can be anxious when meeting new people and it is important to make
any introductions slowly. He shows zero aggression just barks a greeting on arrival. He is
also starting to learn that it is OK for him to have time by himself. He has been improving
and gaining confidence and with ongoing patience and understanding will develop his
confidence further.
Benny The Handsome is keen to adopt a loving, active person, couple or family that are
experienced with rescue dogs and are at home most of the time - that way he can show you
how much he loves you. Benny would be better with children over the age of about 10 who
understand that he will be anxious at times, and that it will take patience and time to develop his confidence.
Benny also likes the idea of another dog to play with and keep him company on the odd
occasion that his human family aren’t around. Benny is fine with cats.
