Who knew Benedicto was the cuddliest boy in the world?

Benedicto had lived his whole life outside of home with not much socialisation or affection. But those days are over and behind him now. He wishes to learn more and grow confident as he has started learning to enjoy life.

Due to not being out and about much his entire life, he tends to get anxious when outside of home. Was entirely clueless on the leash but he has shown lots of progress (it makes foster mum teary) which is why he’d love to have a confident companion doggo/s at home who can model him that he doesn’t have to be so afraid of life!

He is currently living with a 5 yo foster human and 3 dog savvy resident cats. He is not so sure about his 5 yo foster human as he thinks she is unpredictable and keeps getting in the way of cuddling mum. He doesn’t mind sharing cuddle time with mum with other cats but whenever they get into their zoomies, so will Benedicto! He does chase the cats time to time, never physically hurt them even when he could have but for the sake of cats, foster mum would prefer a home with no cats.

He is your typical jack russell terrier mix who loves to guard your home and protect you from possums. Yes, he is a barker so hope you’re ready for a ride (bonus points for JRT experienced humans!)

Benedicto has developed his character so much over his time with foster family. We believe he is such a smart boy (whom now almost toilet trained even) who would benefit from ongoing training with lots and lots of love.
