Evening, friend! Bennie here.
Terrier energy: strong opinions, a real motor, and a heart three sizes too big.
Word is I'm a championship snuggler. I don't like to brag, but the notes don't lie.
I'm still young and full of beans, with a whole lot of love (and the occasional zoomie) saved up for the right person.
I do come with a few special needs, but please don't let that scare you off — I just need a patient friend, and I pay it back tenfold.
I've been holding down the fort in Oakland, hoping someone like you would wander by.
Here's the thing — I can't tell if we'd truly click until I know a little about you. Sign in (it's free) and I'll size up your place, say hello to any dogs you've got — or be your very first — and give you my honest read on whether we'd be a match.
With a little luck, Thanksgiving could be my first one in a real home — possibly with you, or with someone you send my way.
Anyway, thank you for reading all the way to the end. Not everyone does, and I noticed. — Bennie

About Bennie
Bennie is a 2-year-old, 46-pound pittie mix who's really come into his own. Once a little unsure, he now happily plays fetch and flops over for full-body wiggles. On field trips, Bennie enjoys running on the beach, exploring trails, and greeting people with a wagging tail. He walks nicely on leash, often checking over his shoulder to make sure you're still with him. Squirrels definitely bring out his bouncy side, but he responds well to hand signals for "sit," and is a quick learner when treats are involved. After an adventure, he's happy to nap in the car. Our volunteer groomer reported he startles easily, but recovers quickly with a little reassurance. Otherwise, this sweet and cuddly guy was wonderful for his bath and nail trim. While Bennie has been social and relaxed meeting other dogs, and participated in playgroups in the shelter for two weeks with a rotation of different dogs. He did get into an altercation with another dog during a playgroup session and may be most successful as an only dog in the home. That way he can focus on what he loves most: exploring with his people, chasing tennis balls, and claiming a well-earned spot in your lap.
