Benny American Staffordshire Terrier Manhattan, KS

Meet Benny! He is around 7 years old and is a 70lb mini tank/hippo/manatee. Benny is a bully breed so check with your landlord or city if he’s allowed before applying (his breed is banned on Fort Riley and in Salina ??).
Benny is a perfect gentleman and a sweet angel. He does not jump, waits for permission at doors, and is great on a leash! He is great with dogs, cats, and small children. This gentle, affectionate boy just wants to follow you around and cuddle up close.
Benny has seasonal allergies that his forever family will need to treat in spring and maybe summer. He’s currently doing well with cytopoint! Benny’s teeth are a bit of a mess but he’ll have a full dental cleaning and some extractions with our friends Deep Well Veterinary soon. In the meantime he enjoys all kinds of treats and softer chews and is on a dry kibble diet with no problems. Benny can do a few stairs but just isn’t built for above ground floor life, and needs an assist to get onto higher furniture or into trucks or SUVs.
Benny is adaptable, obedient, and low energy. He will bark when people are at the door but is otherwise quiet. He will bond hard with his human(s) but needs a little warm-up time. He loves treats, short walkies, and being reminded that he is the bestest boy.
If you’ve got room in your heart and home for this happy, loving older gent apply to adopt at purple-paws.org!
