🐾 Meet Your New Best Friend: The Smart, Sweet, and Loyal Companion You’ve Been Waiting For!
Beno is learning to navigate in a whole new world now that he is not living the apartment life, the one he has ever known til now. He wants you to know he is full of love and devotion, if you’ll promise to show him he can trust you. Will you be his bestest friend? He knows he can be yours.
🌟 Why You’ll Fall in Love:
Beno is a medium sized, energetic dog with the softest ears, always ready to show you how smart he is, and would probably thrive as an agility dog once he feels confident and secure in his new home. He is housebroken, improving his crate training, and only chews his toys, which he likes to bring to show to you or to get you to throw them for him. He will ask adorably and politely if he can sit on the couch with you, or sleep next to you. He loves to be close, and will fall asleep under your feet while at your desk. He’s always eager to meet new dog friends with no drama.
🏡 His Perfect Match:
An experienced or eager owner willing to patiently train him to be less reactive to new people and situations; someone who understands that he would like time to feel safe in his new home before starting a new social life. He is a fast learner, and eager to please, and hopes you’ll understand if he gets overstimulated. He is a bit of a "velcro dog" right now, which makes his recall great but also means he loves his humans deeply. Because of this, he does experience some separation anxiety. His foster family is actively working on crate training and solo time, but he will thrive best in an active household where people are home more often than not.
Leash Manners: he is so investigative that he hasn’t gotten the hang of loose-leash walking yet, but he is actively working with a trainer on this. He can get overstimulated on busy trails, but as his confidence and sense of security increases, he will be a wonderful adventure companion. His recall is excellent, and is always nearby if off leash at his foster’s house.
Kids: Unknown
Cats: Beno will ignore cats if they ignore him. He has a respect for them, but will vocally defend himself against them if provoked.
Farm animals: Beno is currently being fostered on a farm, and does not harm chickens or horses. But he might be willing to give a chase occasionally.
This sweet boy has so much love to give and is going to make an incredible addition to a family ready to give him the time, reassurance, and activity he craves. Ready to meet your new shadow? Contact us today to learn more or to set up a meet-and-greet!

Visual breed identification in dogs is unreliable, so for most of the dogs, we are only guessing at the predominant breed or breed mix. We get to know each dog as an individual and will do our best to describe each of our dogs based on personality, not by breed label.
We expect that all adopted dogs will enroll in a formal dog training class with their new owners. Obedience and training classes are an excellent way to learn more about your newly adopted dog, gain handling and training experience, and improve your relationship with your pet.
