Story
Say hello to Benny! This goofy, lovable 1-year-old mixed breed pup is ready to find a family who appreciates big hearts and even bigger paws! Benny is a fun-loving, rowdy pup who never says no to a game of fetch — in fact, it’s his favorite way to burn off energy and show off his playful side. He’s still a puppy at heart (and in size!), so he’ll do best with a family who enjoys activity, laughter, and maybe a few slobbery kisses along the way. He’s working on his manners and already showing how smart he is — eager to learn, especially when treats or toys are involved. Benny lives in a foster home with dogs and cats. He goes to doggy daycare a at least once a week. He enjoys his time with the staff and making new dog friends who play as much as he does. With a bit of guidance and plenty of love, Benny will grow into the loyal, gentle giant. If you’re looking for a fun, affectionate companion who will fill your home with joy (and probably take up most of the couch), Benny is your guy! He is fully vetted. Vetting includes spay/neuter, microchip, rabies and all puppy vaccinations. His adoption fee in the local Memphis, TN tristate area is $300.   His adoption fee outside of the Memphis, TN tristate area is $600. This includes the transport to PA, CT, NJ, MD, VA, and more. We use a licensed and registered USDA transport company that will bring Benny up north to his new family.   If you have any questions, please email us at:  newbeginnings_animalrescue@yahoo.com   You can apply to adopt Benny here:  www.newbeginningsanimalrescue.net   THANK YOU FOR CONSIDERING ADOPTING A RESCUED PET!
