Benny
Benny is a 2 year old male Border Collie mix.
He is a medium sized dog around 40 pounds.
He loves other dogs and is good with cats! He adores children.
He is an active young dog and would do best in an active home where he can be a part of the action.
Benny is very curious and wants to be involved in all things. He learns new things quickly.
He is playful, loves to play fetch and can catch a tennis ball like a champ!
He is well behaved on leash and likes to take walks and explore the outdoors. He would be an amazing hiking partner!
He is potty trained and is fine being left home alone for short periods of time. He is not destructful. Of course he would much rather be with his people and is good riding in a car.
He would love to have a job but if you do not have one for him he would be happy playing a game of fetch or taking a walk, then coming home and laying on the couch for some snuggles.
He is a bit of a bed hog and if he is really tired has been known to snore (its the cutest thing).
If interested in setting up a meet and greet with Benny contact Becca at 1-760-669-8565.
