My story

Benny is an adoring young dog with an epic set of ears and a heart of gold. Benny came into our care after a tragic incident with his previous owners that left him with burn scars down his back. Benny's resilience and pure heart helped him overcome his past, and he has been thriving in a foster home in New York. Benny is a polite, eager-to-please, affectionate young dog who dreams of finding a family to love. Benny is well-mannered on walks and looks to his handler for direction and guidance. He is a sweet, clever dog who loves learning new tricks and commands and forms strong bonds with his people. Apply today to bring Benny home.

Please note that the listed location for this dog may not be accurate due to technical limitations of this database and we have transportation options available within 6 hours of NYC (so don't let location hold you back)!
