Benny's Story

Meet Benny!<br/>This 5-year-old German Shepherd mix (he's got some Labrador Retriever in his DNA too) is the perfect blend of loyal companion and easygoing best friend. Benny comes when called—every time—and is always up for a walk or training session (especially if treats are involved!). He’s a quick learner and consistently follows your lead.<br/><br/>Need an enthusiastic security system? Benny will announce visitors like a pro, but his tough-guy act stops at the bark.<br/><br/>When it’s time to relax, Benny is happy to chill at your feet while you work, read, or watch TV. Want a snuggle buddy? He’ll hop on the sofa. Prefer your space? He’ll respect that too. Benny is all about making you happy.<br/><br/>He’s great with small dogs and, with proper introductions, does well with cats. He can be selective with bigger dogs, so slow intros are key. Benny doesn’t beg for food, and he’s wonderfully respectful of your belongings—no chewing on shoes, clothes, or glasses.<br/><br/>Benny thrives in a calm, kind environment, where someone is home most of the time. Most of all, he wants to be by your side, wherever you are. If you're looking for a devoted, low-maintenance, and loving companion, Benny’s your guy. <br/><br/>**Follow Benny on Instagram: [@frr.bennyboy](https://www.instagram.com/frr.bennyboy/)**<br/>**Apply to meet him — your new shadow is waiting!**
