Benny Handsome

My story

Benny Handsome is an adorable young pup, estimated to be 8 months old. He is as sweet as he is charming. He was found as a stray but has been nothing but friendly and well-behaved since coming to the shelter. A little shy at first, Benny quickly warms up and has shown he’s great on leash and enjoys the company of other dogs, including his new buddy Armani. This good boy is ready for a fresh start with a family who will love him as much as he deserves. Come meet Benny Handsome at ACCT Philly, open daily from 10 am to 6 pm and let him steal your heart!

LEASH SKILLS: Pulls minimally SOCIABILITY : Benny H. was super submissive with a tucked body under my legs with tucked wags and soft eyes. he allowed all handling and would have spurts of excitement, removing himself from his tight spaces. he loved to cuddle up in my lap in a little ball and took the treats i offered him very gently. PLAY & TOYS: did not attempt DOG INTERACTION: he was nervous of a small dog he met and stood behind me. once the dog tuned away he would walk slowly up to him to sniff curiously but then darted back away again. RETURNING TO KENNEL: he waked right into the kennel and sat on his bed. COLOR LEVEL: Exp.
