Benito

Description

      Meet Benito - he's a super happy, silly guy with a big goofy grin and is always ready for affection! He's 12 lbs, probably 2-3 years old, and perhaps he's a Pom-Chi.   Benito makes us smile every day with his silly antics and his sweet affection. He's got 2 speeds - ping-pong ball bouncing happily around the room & cuddly love bug falling asleep in your lap.   He loves to race around the yard with his foster brother, but he doesn't like to roughhouse. He's a lover and prefers quiet time together over rowdy horseplay.   Here's some things that Benito is working on -   Leash Training - it seems he's never been on a leash before and he thinks you're trying to strangle him with it. He still needs to gain some trust with the leash before we'll try taking him for a walk. House breaking - he's 99% there but still wears a diaper to prevent him from marking in the house. We expect this behavior to stop fully once he's neutered. He's very smart and an excellent rule follower. He'll do what you want if you're clear and confident with your communication... and if you understand that sometimes he just has ants in his pants and can't contain himself even though he's trying!     We think Benito would thrive in a home with   other calm, confident dogs calm, confident humans (young kids are probably too unpredictable for him) a fully fenced yard (cuz he's just not ready for a leash yet)     Benito has all his vaccinations and will be neutered before he is "officially" adopted, but that won't prevent him from joining your family now while he waits for that appointment.   Does Benito sound like the perfect match for your home?
