Benny (20260713-04)

My story

Benny is an adorable German Shepherd mix puppy who came into rescue alongside his mom, Linda, after being found in Manitoba. Thanks to his resilient mama and the care he's received since being rescued, he has grown into a happy, healthy pup with a wonderful personality. Benny is incredibly sweet, friendly, and affectionate-he is a true little love bug! He loves to play, explore, and romp around before curling up for a cozy nap. While he isn't much for playing fetch, he absolutely loves a good stuffy or chew toy. He is a great eater, full of puppy curiosity, and is absolutely thriving in foster care. His favourite thing, though, is being close to people. He absolutely loves snuggles and is always happy to soak up attention. Plus, because Benny is so smart and highly food motivated, he is an absolute joy to train! He already knows how to "sit" and "come," and he is currently working hard on mastering "wait" and "stay." Like all puppies, Benny will need continued training, socialization, and plenty of patience as he grows. With his eager-to-please attitude, love, and guidance, he is sure to become a loyal, well-mannered companion who will bring endless joy to his forever family.
