Benny

Benny the adorable teddy bear is searching for a second chance at a loving home.

He is such a sweet, friendly little man. He is a bit overwhelmed in the shelter environment, especially considering that he was transferred to us from another local shelter – so we are looking for a kind and loving forever home who will provide a safe space for him to finally relax and be the happy-go-lucky pup he deserves to be.

Being almost 10 years old, he does come with some extra special quirks (as all sensational seniors do!) including being totally deaf! This means he will need a patient family who understand that he may need a softer approach and introduction to new people, places and things as he experiences the world a litter differently than others. He sadly has very sore and rotten teeth, and he will have a procedure performed at out vet clinic (covered by us!) to fix him up – so his family will need to be committed to transporting him to and from appointments at our vet clinic as necessary to ensure he gets all the care he needs.

He is quite happy to coexist with other calm, respectful doggies – he’s not a fan of boisterous dogs or when they get all up in his face, however (fair enough!)

He will need a quiet home with no young children and with people who have plenty of quality time to spend with him to help him heal from the stress of the past few months. Being a pom, he will need regular grooming (he was incredibly matted when he came into care).

He is very playful and active for his age, loves his walks and loves splashing around in his water bowl. He is a super special boy that can’t wait to find a forever home that truly deserves him.
