My story

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

Hello world, ready or not, here I am! My name is Benson, a 3-year-old red heeler mix. I’m neutered, fully vaccinated, and ready for my forever home. My perfect forever family would be someone who loves adventure and running just as much as I do. I’m about 40 pounds of pure go-go-go energy! I’ll definitely need my new parents to teach me some manners, but I’m potty trained (just have the occasional accident here and there) and I'm the best boy ever, just looking for a home full of love. I’m the true definition of a perfect guy—I love to snuggle and soak up all the belly rubs. I also adore my walks, and when people at the shelter have time, I love to run with them at full speed. I do pull a bit on the leash because I’m so excited to explore everything this world has to offer, but once I’ve burned off enough energy, I calm down and walk amazingly on leash. My coat is mostly white with red tick spots all over, and my face is uniquely colored—you might never find a dog like me again. Ready to make me part of your family? I can’t wait to meet you!
