*Benny is in a foster home. Please call to schedule an appointment to meet him*
A note from Benny's foster family! Benny is a gentle man searching for his retirement home who just wants a comfy couch and daily walks. He wakes up happy and loves his morning walks. Quite often before eating breakfast he's ready to start the day moving and stretching. His walks are more leisurely strolls, but he loves them. He's social and wants to meet new people and make friends with other dogs. Benny loves to be loved. He loves pets and head scratches, hugs and kisses, and gentle massages. Sometimes his puppy energy comes out and he zoomes around the yard with little control of his trajectory, watching his old man zoomies brings joy to all who witness. Benny is so smart. He loves brain games. He's good at the muffin tin game and searching for treats hidden around the room. He doesn't mind being brushed and bathed. He's quiet, neat and calm and just wants a quiet home with a family to love him. Benny does have some special senior medical needs, please ask staff for details!
