My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Hey there, I'm Benny! A gentle dog with a heart of gold and a wagging tail that never quits. Let me give you a little insight into who I am.

First things first, I'm a pro on the leash. Walking with me is like a gentle breeze - smooth, easy, and enjoyable for both of us. And when it comes to commands, you can count on me to nail the basics like "sit" in a heartbeat. Plus, throw in a treat, and I'll be your best friend forever. Yep, I'm that treat motivated.

But let's talk about fun! I'm all about having a blast in the backyard. Give me some space to roam and play, and I'll be one happy pup. Oh, and don't forget the tennis balls - I live for chasing those little fuzzy things around. Playing fetch? That's my jam. I might not always bring it back to you though!

Now, here's the best part - I'm low maintenance. Yep, you heard that right. I'm easygoing, adaptable, and just looking for a loving home where I can be myself. I don't realize my size and think I'm a lap dog most of the time, so be prepare to cuddle!

I recently went on a slumber party and I did great! I slept through the night on my dog bed, and always pottied outside. I'm easily trainable, eager for treats and great at adapting to new surroundings!

So, if you're in the market for a loyal companion who's up for adventure but also down for some chill time, I might just be the perfect match for you.
