Benny
7 Mo. Old, Neutered Border Collie/ L ab Mix
Benny is a bit shy at times, but his love of people overrides
that! He is very Happy-Go-Lucky and likes to run and play
with his toys. Benny has been around other dogs and
children and he is very active and playful with both. He has
been an indoor/outdoor pup and is not a barker, however,
traveling in a car is his most unfavorite thing to do! Benny
is current on all of his shots, including Rabies. If you're
looking for that special companion, Benny is the one.
