bennie

Meet Bennie!! This quiet little lady may be small at just 6.5 pounds, but her heart is enormous. Bennie was found alone in the rain by a Good Samaritan, despite every effort, her previous family was never found. It's clear she's weathered some tough times - but you'd never know it from the way she warms up and leans in for affection. Bennie is around 12-year-old with a strong cuddle game. She recently had 16 teeth removed and is now feeling so much better, moving through life with a newfound pep. Though she has a wobbly little walk, it doesn't slow her down or seem to bother her at all. Surgery isn't an option due to her age, but she navigates the world just fine and never complains. This sweet girl is low maintenance, affectionate, and perfect for someone looking for a calm, loving companion. She prefers quiet companionship and would be happiest curled up next to her favorite person. While she's been friendly with every dog she's met, Bennie would truly shine as the only dog in a peaceful home. She isn't big on sharing her human - but she can, if needed. She's incredibly easy going - rarely barks, aside from the occasional protest when left alone in her X-pen. Potty training is a work in progress, and we suspect she was previously left outdoors or had free roam of a space without structure. With consistency - especially taking her to a pee pad immediately after waking up - she's making great strides. Bennie rides well in the car, enjoys being brushed, loves a leisurely walk, and never says no to a snack. She's been fully vetted: spayed, vaccinated, microchipped, and had a full dental and lab workup. Now, she's ready for the soft landing she deserves. Bennie is looking for a home where she can be cherished for exactly who she is. She is all healed from her recent hernia surgery and fully vetted. Located in Los Angeles, CA.
