Benton's Story

If you&#39;re looking for a dog who&#39;s equal parts sweetheart and sidekick, Benton might just be your perfect match. This handsome boy is the definition of a cuddle bug -- he believes the best place to be is right next to you (or, let&#39;s be honest, on top of you). He&#39;s a total bed hog who loves to burrow in for naps, so make sure you&#39;re okay with sharing your pillows -- Benton certainly is!<br/><br/>Beyond his love for snuggles, Benton is a fun-loving adventurer. He&#39;s always ready to hop in the car for a ride and adores sticking his nose out the window to feel the breeze. Bath time? No problem -- Benton actually enjoys it! And if you have a boat, he&#39;ll happily join your crew. There&#39;s nothing this boy loves more than being part of whatever his people are doing, whether it&#39;s a road trip, a lazy Sunday, or a day on the water. He&#39;s also a great running buddy -- keeping pace by your side and reminding you that exercise is more fun with a wagging tail next to you.<br/><br/>Benton is also a devoted and protective companion. He loves his family deeply and takes pride in keeping his home safe. While he&#39;s friendly with people, he can be protective of his property and loved ones, so he&#39;ll do best with someone who understands that a little loyalty sometimes comes with a watchful side. He&#39;s not aggressive -- just a dog who truly wants to make sure his people are cared for.<br/><br/>Right now, Benton is living his best life in a loving foster home where he&#39;s showing everyone just how wonderful he is. His foster family says he&#39;s affectionate, well-mannered, and always up for a good game of tug or a long snuggle session on the couch.<br/><br/>If you&#39;ve been searching for a dog who will make you laugh, keep you company, join you on adventures, and make your house feel like a home, Benton is your guy. He&#39;s ready to meet you, steal your heart, and claim his spot by your side (and maybe on your pillow).<br/><br/>So grab a leash, a tug toy, and a pillow -- and come meet this beautiful boy. Benton can&#39;t wait to find his forever family!<br/><br/><br/><br/>Benton&#39;s adoption fee is $0 thanks to a donation! If you are interested in meeting any of our animals, we encourage you to first visit our website and submit an adoption application: acskc.org/adoption/adoption-application<br/><br/>Once your adoption application has been approved, we will call you to set up an appointment to meet with the pet!
