Big-hearted Benny is looking for his forever home.

Benson has been a wonderful companion and we love him dearly. If we didn’t have a new baby in the house, Benson would be staying on with us.

If you have young kids, or grandchildren, coming to the house regularly then Benny is not the dog for you. Read more about our family’s experience.

The most important thing is that we find the right person for Benny. He needs a calm and experienced owner who is willing to put the time in.

Some of the things that might set Benny up for success in the long run include a fenced yard, a guardian with lots of time to spend with him, and a space in the house or a dog run that is ‘his.’

Benny loves to be around his people. He’s happiest when he’s out with his person and dog-friends on the trails, splashing in the shallows of a river or running in a field.

For Benny’s best benefit he needs someone that is ‘his.’ He desperately wants to feel he has a home and a family - even if that is a family of one! Benny wants to know he belongs to someone.

Benson is sweet and affectionate with his family. He is very intelligent, obedient and loves to play with his toys. He will require daily mental stimulation and exercise. There are some scenarios where Benson has the potential to trigger or challenge you. Many of the scenarios can be managed by an experienced dog owner who will know how to put Benson in an environment that sets him up for success. We outline several of these scenarios in more detail on the next page.

Patience is one of the most important qualities of Benson’s future owner and family.
