My story

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

Meet Benito – Your Happy-Go-Lucky Adventure Buddy!

Basic Info:

  • Name: Benito

  • Breed: Border Collie / Australian Cattle Dog Mix

  • Sex: Male

  • DOB: April 10, 2022

  • Weight: 46 lbs

  • Intake Date: April 9, 2024


Personality – Happy, Playful & Full of Zest:
Benito is pure sunshine on four paws! Always ready to play, explore, or lean in for a pet, he’s got an infectiously joyful personality that will keep a smile on your face. He loves interactive games, running around the yard, and getting belly rubs. Benito thrives on connection and fun—he’s a dog who wants to be in the middle of the action and part of the family. With him, every day is a new adventure.


Breed Information:
As a mix of Border Collie and Australian Cattle Dog, Benito is naturally intelligent, alert, and active. These working breeds are known for their stamina, loyalty, and sharp minds. Benito will benefit from regular physical exercise and mental stimulation to keep him balanced and happy. Puzzle toys, training sessions, and active play will help him shine. He’s eager to learn and eager to please!


Owner Responsibilities:

  • Provide daily exercise: walks, play, fetch, or dog sports

  • Offer mental stimulation through training, puzzles, and games

  • Use positive reinforcement training—Benito is smart and responsive

  • Maintain regular veterinary care and vaccinations

  • Ensure he’s part of the family, not left alone for long periods

  • Provide structure, patience, and love

  • Create a safe, indoor home environment


Commitment for Life:
Benito is not a short-term companion—he's a lifelong partner. Adopting him means committing to his care, well-being, and happiness for all of his days. He needs a family that understands that dogs are not disposable—they are forever. In return, Benito will give you loyalty, laughter, and love every single day.


Do Not Leash Your Dog Outside Unattended:
Benito should never be tied up or left outdoors alone. He needs companionship, safety, and interaction. Tethering a dog outside is not only dangerous but also deeply unfair to a social, intelligent dog like Benito. He deserves to be inside, where he can be close to his people and thrive.


Why Adopt Benito?
Because Benito brings joy wherever he goes. He’s playful without being overwhelming, smart without being stubborn, and affectionate without being clingy. He’s the perfect match for an active individual or family who wants a loyal sidekick with a big heart. Adopt Benito and experience the happiness of having a dog who truly loves life—and loves you.
