Here's what the humans have to say about me:
Benny is a very large, handsome rottie with a docked tail. He is estimated to be 4 years old. Benny was rescued from a shelter on the day he was to be euthanized. He had injuries to his feet and legs when we got him, but with vet care we provided, he us now completely healed.
Despite his XL size and imposing appearance, Benny is sensitive, gentle, very loving and sweet. He can be timid with new things and people, and loud noises and some people sometimes scare him.
Benny has spent the last several months with a very caring foster in the Seattle area, where he is currently. She has spent a great deal of time training Benny. Benny is house trained, crate trained, and knows sit, down and come. Benny loves toys and playing fetch with a ball.
Benny is laid back and low energy. He is great hanging around the house with his people. Benny lets his foster caretaker cut his toenails and clean his ears for treats.
Benny may be good in a home with another dog, but introductions should be handled carefully. We don’t know how Benny would be with an indoor cat.
Benny will require a patient and kind adoptor thats willing to work with him on raising his confidence and continuing his training. As with all adoptions, it will take time for a dog to settle in and it may take even somewhat more time for Benny to get comfortable and be the relaxed, sweet and loving companion we know him to be. His patient adopter will reap the reward however, as a truer, move devoted companion will be hard to find!
