Hiya! My name is Benny! I'm a super sweet 1 year old male havanese. I made my way to SFCR after being released from a commercial breeding facility. I'm quite skittish, especially when meeting new people but I'm working really hard to build my confidence. I sure am loving this brand new life of mine!

I have been working really hard on my housetraining but it is still a work in progress. I do wear a belly band to help keep me accountable inside. I am crate trained and used to sleeping in my crate at night.

I REALLY like the other dogs in my foster home and they help me feel so much more confident. I love to run and play outside with the other pups in my foster home.

I had my teeth cleaned when I was under for my neuter surgery. Foster mom says it is likely that I will need regular dental cleanings throughout my life as I already had heavy tartar on my teeth at just 1 year old!

 

ADOPTION REQUIREMENTS:

  • Physically fenced in yard - Benny is a breeder release dog and not familiar with walking on a harness/leash, he is also a flight risk and needs a fence for his safety.
  • Confident resident dog preferred.
  • Patient family willing to continue to work on confidence building, basic obedience, and housetraining. 
  • Home with dog savvy kids (ages 8 & up)

Benny has been neutered and received a dental cleaning while in rescue. He tested negative for heartworm & tick borne diseases, is current on vaccinations & monthly preventatives, and microchipped. His adoption fee is $600 plus tax. 

More about Benny

Good with Dogs, Good with Cats, Good with Kids, Cratetrained, Playful, Timid, Skittish

*All SFCR dogs are current on age-appropriate vaccinations (rabies, distemper, bordetella, and lepto), spayed/neutered (if at least 6 months of age), tested for heartworm & tick-borne disease, receive dentals if needed, are started on preventatives for heartworm and fleas/ticks, and microchipped.

Prior to being rescued, many of our dogs have received limited socialization, so they may need extra time to adjust and settle in. Older children are often a great fit for our dogs, and family's with younger children will be considered based on each dog's individual needs. Skills like house training and leash walking may require a little extra patience and practice. However, with understanding and a gentle hand, most of our dogs adapt quite quickly.
