Hello! My name is Benito, a.k.a Benny!
I'm a rambunctious little guy who loves to give kisses and will put my big paws on you so you can look into my eyes before I jump to give you a quick kiss and run away. I love treats and playing with my big foster brother. I shake hands and am very food motivated. My foster brother has shown me the ropes on the rules of the house, did I mention I love to rough house with him?
I get really excited and love to jump on the littles to get them to play, sometimes knocking them over. I can jump as high as 5 feet! I also love to chase balls—though I'm not that interested in Frisbee, the romp-n-roll ball you see me carrying in the picture is my absolute favorite, aside from my stuffed animals that I play with inside. Rough playing with my four-legged foster sibling is definitely one of my top activities!
My bedtime routine is a fun game of "catch me if you can" with the humans who put me in my kennel, just to be sure they are tired enough to get a good night's rest. I prefer to be in my playpen on my bed instead of my kennel when it's time for bed. I am really good at cheering you up when you're sad and give the best cuddles/sneak attacks.
I'm happiest next to my foster brother, napping or jumping on him, or running around with the little humans. So I think I'd like to go to a home where I'm part of the family, with a dog and maybe some kids, because I have lots of energy and love to give. I have accidents sometimes, but we are working on it. If you think I will be the missing puzzle piece to your family, apply today!
