My story

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

Since I'm a long stay pup, my adoption fee has been reduced! Visit me today to find out my favorite treats and how you can take me home!

What my friends at ACC say about me:


I have medical needs that staff will address with you when you meet me.


I love to be loved, but on my own terms! Let's brush up on some canine body language together!


I'm ready to learn! I need a patient person who has the time to work on training with me.


Not only do I pull at heart strings, but I also pull on leash! I will need someone to help me with my leash manners.


I would do best in a home with only adult humans.



A volunteer writes: Benny has slowly turned me into a mush, and this is how he did it: He starts by standing up in his kennel, with his front paws spread up against the door, looking through the plexiglass with his big, adorable face. He stays in position until he catches my eye, at which point resistance is futile! As I open the door, he does some zoomies, then hops onto his bed and stares up at the ceiling mirror, completely fascinated by the row of dogs in neighboring kennels. (It's so funny watching him watching other dogs). Walking through the room, Benny pulls a toy out of my toy bag, gleefully carrying it with him. Then there's the way his face goes soft and squinty, and he lifts his butt in the air, as I scratch his rump - just adorable! And watching him clamber onto his bed with his toy and happily settling in for some play is just too cute for words. Benny seems to be housebroken, knows "sit", and has been so much easier to walk with a harness.
Benny's sweet personality and total cuteness are sure to turn you into a mush just like me, so meet him today!
