Here's what the humans have to say about me:
Benny was an owner surrendered to the shelter in Houma LA. because he was too big for them to continue caring for him. That is sad, but actually better for Benny, because it is obvious that Benny did not have a good home. Benny was kept outside, he is extremely underweight and he is also HW+. Now that he is with the rescue, we will make sure he gets the care he needs, including vaccinations, neutering and HW treatment.
Benny is a 5-year-old fawn Great Dane. He is very sweet and loving to all. He is good with children, other dogs, as well as cats. Benny is very mellow and calm dog, but he can get playful. He likes rides in the car and long walks. He is very well mannered. Fully house broken, kennel trained and he also knows to use the doggie door. He knows basic commands like sit, down, stay, shake and go to bed. If it wasn't for the fact that I already own 3 dogs and I get lots of rescue fosters, I would adopt Benny myself, because he is an awesome dog. whoever gets this boy will be very lucky to have him.
