Meet Benny! Looking for a brilliant best friend? This 6-month-old Border Collie/Aussie mix is as smart as he is sweet! Weighing in at 20 lbs, Benny is the perfect blend of brains, heart, and playful puppy energy.Benny is already crate-trained and house-trained, and he quickly adapts to household routines. True to his herding-dog roots, he’s eager to learn and loves having a “job” to do. He already knows how to sit and shake, and with his intelligence and eagerness to please, he’ll be a training superstar in no time.A little shy at first, Benny warms up with patience and kindness—then his affectionate side shines through. Once he trusts you, he’s a world-class cuddler who bonds deeply with his people.Benny thrives on both mental and physical activity. He has medium energy and would love a yard where he can run, play, and stretch those long legs. Because he’s still young, he’ll need a family that can give him time outside the crate and plenty of engagement throughout the day.He’s great with other dogs—his puppy enthusiasm can be a bit much for some, but a playful canine companion could be a perfect match. He tends to be curious around cats and will chase if they run.&#226&#156&#168 Bonus!
