Hello fans! It’s me, Bennie! You will be happy to know that I am ready to find my forever home.

I am one year old and weigh 22 pounds. I am healthy. I am wiggly with grooming but otherwise, tolerate it all well.

I like people and dogs, but not cats or other small animals. I have shown no resource guarding at all in my foster home with people or the resident dogs. I am very friendly with other dogs and respect their cues. I also am a good boy when meeting new people and don’t jump up on them. I can be a little mouthy when playing (something I am working on), so I will need a home with older, dog-savvy children.

I am a silly little guy who loves to be in the center of things. I will need a home with people steady on their feet as I am often under foot; I definitely don’t want to trip someone and make them fall. My energy level is moderate….I will relax and cuddle but also like to play. I love affection and cuddles and am quite the Velcro dog with my people.

I like to ride in the car…but must be in the front seat (secured of course); the back seat is too far away. I do not like a crate at all…if put inside one, I will cry loudly and continuously. I am okay on a leash. I will zig-zag while walking on a leash, but I don’t fight it.

I am about 95% housebroken. I am still working on getting the hang of signaling that I need to go out. I would be no good as an apartment/condo dog. It is a house for me and preferably one with a fenced yard! I would love someone who is home with me quite a bit but also would be okay with someone who works outside the house but can provide me with a midday potty break.

I love soft, stuffed toys and am super cute when I play with them! I love carrying around a fly swatter, too. Weird I know…but I like what I like. I also like to follow my people into the shower and being held like a baby.

I would really love to have a doggie friend to play with in my new home (definitely a big want of mine) and an interactive family. I know the commands stay, come and leave it. I am really smart so I am sure I can learn more if you want to teach me.

I am a confident fella who loves meeting new people. I am healthy, sweet and well-behaved. What’s not to love? You should definitely apply for me!
