Benny's Story

Meet Benny!<br/>Benny is an approximately 3-year-old German Shorthaired Pointer mix with a striking black-and-white coat, beautifully dotted with spots. He’s friendly with absolutely everyone he meets—this boy doesn’t have a mean bone in his body. Affectionate, eager to please, and full of love, Benny is wonderful with dogs, cats, and kids alike.<br/>Benny came to our rescue needing emergency surgery for a urinary blockage and stones. He was very underweight at the time and is still working on filling out, but his surgery was a success. To keep him healthy long-term, Benny will need to stay on a prescription urinary diet for life. He also benefits from more frequent potty breaks, and when that isn’t possible, he does great wearing a belly band.<br/>True to his GSP roots, couch potatoes need not apply—Benny is full of energy! He lives for fetch and will happily play as long as you’re willing to throw. Toss him a toy and he’ll leap into the air to catch it—he’s incredibly athletic. Super-chewer toys are best for this guy; soft toys don’t stand a chance.<br/>When playtime winds down, Benny transforms into a snuggly lap dog. He loves curling up under a blanket with his people and soaking up all the affection he can get.<br/>Benny is also crate trained. He eats his meals in his crate, and he sleeps soundly and quietly in his crate every night, making him a great option for those looking for a well-behaved, crate-comfortable companion.<br/>Whoever adopts Benny will be incredibly lucky—he truly is the best dog.<br/>If you’re looking for a joyful, loving companion with a big heart, boundless energy, and the ability to settle down when needed, Benny may be your perfect match!<br/>Adoption application can be found at this link- or DOG application: https://airtable.com/shrAznkHf1ruIqQwq
