Colour: dark grey/brown

Neck Size: 18inches
Chest size for harness: 29” / medium
Height from top of head: 29”
Length from nose to tail: 34”
Crate size: large

Good With Kids: Yes (Older kids over 8 would be ideal as he is still a puppy
at heart and may knock little people over
Good With Adults: YES (men and women)
Good With Dogs: YES/great with females and good with friendly males
Good With Cats: Working on it, but I would say he would be more suited to a
home with no cats as most cats would be scared of his puppiness!Housebroken: YES
Crate Trained: YES
Energy Level: High energy when he first sees you but ask him to sit and he
happily obliges or does a roll for a belly rub! Benny also loves cuddle time and
would lay at your feet each day!
Can be handled/touched YES (Benny loves belly rubs, brush, cuddles).
Flight Risk: It is unlikely if he has a large yard to run in and plenty of walks. He
also comes when called! He would not do well in a crate all day (an exercise pen
may be better).
NOTE: All rescues are a flight risk and should be walked with double
leash or leash and collar and slip lead just in case ! Should have secure,
high enough fencing also or a long line on until he feels at home.
Food Aggressive: Never!! He will sit for a treat with the others and I can
take his food away from him (he does have one teeny bad habit, he likes
to take his bowl and sit on his Kuranda bed and eat).
Walks On Leash: He is an absolute dream to walk, he knows how to heel, stop
and sit when you stop (without being asked). He knows down and comes when
called! Perfect on leash with his custom Martingale.
Destructive: He will chew up stuffies if left too long on his own (not
recommended) Loves stuffed, frozen kongs, not recommended to have bones
or flat chew treats as he gets upset tummy. NO FLAT CHEWS OR CRUMPS
TEETH CLEANERS
Needs a Yard: YES (he loves to run and play ball)
Needs a Home With a Second Dog: No, (he loves people) but he would do
well with another dog! He is fine with my pack! Loves to play with them or just
hang out! Good with male or female, but he loves the girls more!
Can Live in Apartment: NO!!
Special Needs: Benny had a bit of a leg issue when he first came but was fine
with meds and rest. He visited the vet recently and has a clean bill of health! He
seems to run and play now with no issues.

From his foster: BENNY (as we call him) or just plain wiggle butt is as
friendly and happy as they come. Don’t let that beautiful grey coat fool
you though as he is very smart. Brings the ball right back to you and
knows his obedience like a rock star. He loves everyone he meets!
Doesn’t really bark unless he is happy to see you!!
