Meet Benny — a big boy with an even bigger heart. Benny is a 2-year-old Poodle–Irish Wolfhound mix who is as gentle as he is strong. He’s a sweet, affectionate dog who may be a little shy when first meeting new people or entering new environments, but with patience and kindness, his loving personality quickly begins to shine. This handsome guy is a solid, strong boy who enjoys taking things at his own pace. Benny appreciates a calm approach and time to feel comfortable before fully opening up. Once he trusts you, he’s a soft, loyal companion who enjoys being near his people. Benny is looking for a home with a securely fenced yard where he can safely explore, sniff, and gain confidence without pressure. A patient, understanding adopter who will let him adjust slowly will help him thrive. Benny currently weighs about 78 lbs., is approximately 2 years old (est. birth date 02/20/2024), and his adoption fee is $510. Benny has been neutered, is up to date on all vaccinations & preventatives, and is microchipped.
