BENNY BOY's Story

My adoption fee has been fully sponsored. Adopt me and pay $0.00!!! Hi There! Benny Boy is a playful, large boy who has had sleepeovers where he played with toys, was comfortable in the home, loved his couch and being handled. Knows sit, responsive on the leash, enjoys a great roll in the grass. A chill friendly guy who would love a home where he's treated like one of the family. He has been at OCAS for 100 days or more. Please consider taking a second look at this wonderful boy. Staff has noted that while here, he have been friendly towards new people, appear to be housetrained, and have done with with medical exams. Staff still recommends slow and monitored introductions to any new people and animals in the home INSIGHTS FROM MY ADVENTURE BUDDIES: Benny Boy came over for a sleepover and he was a very good boy. He was respectful in the home. No jumping, counter surfing or trying to take food. I actually ate near him several times and he just laid next to me without even begging. He can be a little particular about treats, mostly preferring chicken and other meat treats. He can hold a sit and be patient. We took him on several walks. He is quite strong and does pull at times, but after the first walk he did start to calm down and pull less. He is kinda funny when riding in the car. He likes to sit or stand on the floor and look backwards instead of forwards. He did do well when meeting my dog, picking up on her cues when she didn’t want to play anymore. He really likes hugs and cuddles. He found a whale toy that he played with for hours. He had some difficulty with resting in the crate at night, so that will need some work, but he’s very smart, highly motivated and trainable. Benny is a big sweetheart and anyone will realize that when meeting him for the first time. Benny is the sweetest boy. He loves car rides and the lake. Benny is a huge cuddle bug and loves to be snuggled. He loves toys especially big ropes to play tug of war. Benny does pull on a leash but does amazing on a gentle leader. He is a very big boy and likes to sit on people’s laps. Benny doesn’t like thunder. He seems to be house trained. Benny is the sweetest dog and we will definitely come back to take him on another vacation! Benny Boy is a friendly dog. He is strong! He would need someone who can handle a strong dog. He pulled moderately on leash while being walked and really pulls when another dog is near. I think he just wants to play with the other dog. Friendly dog, no barking! Benny Boy is pure sunshine. He loves people and is so happy to be by your side. He loves hikes but also enjoys lounging and being a couch potato. He’s a Velcro dog for sure. Great with other dogs—very playful. Can be leash reactive to other dogs because he wants to play so badly. He loves to play tug. It’s probably his favorite thing. He even knows to get his toy when you say “go get your toy.” He needs more help with leash training but is very smart and toy/food motivated. He's so fun and loving! I’ve taken Benny out for multiple hikes and he’s such a good trail partner. He does pull on leash but I’ve found attaching him to a hip belt helps. Once he walks some on that, he pulls less. We also like to run and play in the field (on a long lead). He’s the sweetest and happiest dog. Instant dopamine boost when you hang out with him. Benny Boy is such a good boy! He loved his walk! He was so curious about all the smells! He did not bark at other dogs or strangers. When we came home he took a nap on the couch. He loves to be with people and get pet! He loves cuddles! Such a pleasant boy! Benny boy is super good with people and such a sweetheart. He gets really excited to meet new people and run around. He loves going outside and exploring and sticking his head it of the window on a drive! Super cuddly and sweet when he’s gotten all his energy out! Benny was amazing in the car, and likes to sit with his paws on the center console and watch through the windshield -- its very cute. He's a great walker/runner on the leash, and doesn't pull until there's a very interesting smell or a deer, but lets whatever caught his attention go pretty quickly. Very friendly towards strangers on our walk and with my roommate. He loves for you to throw his ball, and he snuggles! He just wants love. He also never barked once, even when there was something new ahead. He's athletic and loves to run, but is also able to be calm once it's quiet time! We went on a long hike through the woods and it was very cold out, but I bundled Benny up in a little blue coat. He looked so cute and really enjoyed the hike! He’s so incredibly sweet and friendly. Can be energetic and hike miles or be perfectly happy snuggly with you on the couch. Benny is a GREAT dog! He played phenomenally with our 5 month old puppy and all of our kids (aged 6, 9, 11, 14, and 15). He walks well on a leash, responded to all of our cues and commands immediately, and generally just fit right in. He was a family favorite and we REALLY wanted to adopt him - but - we have cats, and we found that Benny sees cats as Food not Friends :( He would be the PERFECT dog for anyone new to owning a dog - He comes pre-loaded with all the things you want a dog to have (and didn't know you needed!) :) My favorite thing about Benny is how flexible he is - He was unflappable! Taking him quickly from situation to situation he just rolled with it. Kids tugging on his face, new puppy jumping all over him Cool, this is just another Tuesday. He is so good natured and smart that the typical training hurdle just didn't exist - Benny was able to come into our home and just be a part of the family without any friction or anxiety - He truly is a GREAT dog :)
