Beignet "Benny" is in Maine

Beignet or "Benny" just over a year old and weighs around 60lbs. He is a happy, healthy boy who loves to romp and play. He is sweet and wants love, he presses right up on you and asks for bum scratches, and make yourself comfortable, you'll be there for awhile. He is great with other dogs, but his play style may not be appreciated by all dogs. <br/><br/>Benny has had a lot of unpredictability in his life and he would continue to thrive in a home where the routine is predictable and stable. For this reason, we are looking for a home without little kids or busy teenagers. Cats are probably too exciting for him too. Benny will look to you for guidance, and he is a sponge when information gathering. He is a cool dog who is really fun and a joy to be around. <br/><br/>Benny isn't great on walks. He's fine on leash, but walks with a lot of stimuli seem to be scary for him. He is working on little walks slowly with training, and there's no need to push him until he's ready. He romps around and plays in a fenced yard and is pretty good at entertaining himself, and he's always up for a reward so he happily checks in often. <br/><br/>Benny is house and crate trained. He is at that age where he has been known to chew soft items in his crate to keep himself busy. He truly is a typical teenager who hasn't had the benefit of a lot of structure and guidance in his life so he's learning as he goes along, he just needs a little assurance and a lot of bum scratches! <br/><br/>Benny's backstory: Benny was found in an abandoned park when he was 3 months old. He had such a severe case of demodex that the only fur visible was a dusting of white on his head. Our Louisiana rescue partner thought it looked like the powdered sugar of their beloved Louisiana beignets, and the name stuck. Benny's fur has grown in and he's absolutely gorgeous. He does still have some scarring localized to his face from this previous condition but his skin scrapes come back clean and it's just cosmetic. He may benefit from using sunscreen while outdoors since he is prone to getting pink. <br/><br/><br/>PLEASE NOTE - We will check your veterinary reference, to ensure that current and prior dogs have a history of being kept up to date on rabies and distemper, <br/>Current pets must by spayed/neutered.<br/><br/>Adoption fees cover age specific vaccinations, martingale collar, spay/neuter, microchip, heartworm/lyme/ehrlichia test, worming and transport fees. <br/><br/>Adoption fees: <br/>Through 6 months of age $450; <br/>7 months to through 5 years $400; <br/>6 years and under 9 years $325: bonded pairs are $500; <br/>9 years and older $250: bonded pairs are $300 <br/><br/>This dog is available unless it is marked as Pending, meaning Pending Adoption.
