Benedict Cumberbark

My story

Benedict is a 3-year-old low-rider. He weighs about 18 lbs and is a poodle mix. Benedict came from a home in Bakersfield with extremely poor living conditions. He arrived completely matted, with overgrown nails, and had to be shaved down for his comfort and health. Despite his rough start, he's a really sweet dog who deserves a warm and caring forever home. Benedict is snuggly, affectionate, and loves to give kisses. He's got a really goofy demeanor and a sweet personality. He would do best in a family as the only dog in the home. More from his foster: Benedict is a such a good dog. He has not barked once. He is great in public settings. He sat on my lap quietly at the Stonehaus and hasn't barked at other dogs or people. He loves walks. Snifs around and marks his territory. Very playful at home too. He loves to play fetch. Great sleeper. Sleeps from 10pm to 6 am. Then does his business outside.he slept on my bed with no issues. Great finishing his food. The only downside is his little markings inside the house. He is also cautious with new people but warms up quickly. 💕 Be ready to adopt.
