Bennu (20260829-01)

My story

Meet Bennu - the three-legged miracle who never learned that he was supposed to feel sorry for himself. Bennu's story is heartbreaking, but his spirit is nothing short of incredible. He was severely neglected by his previous owner, who accidentally ran over and broke his leg. Despite the horrific injury, his owner never sought veterinary care. Instead, his leg was simply wrapped in a bandage and he was left behind to suffer. By the time Bennu was rescued, he was near death and septic. He needed emergency surgery, days of intensive antibiotics, and ultimately had to lose his injured leg. But that was then. Today, Bennu is healthy, happy, and absolutely living his best life! Don't let the missing leg fool you - this boy can MOVE! His foster says he is just as fast, if not faster, than the other dogs and he is twice as enthusiastic about getting outside and enjoying every second of life. Bennu is affectionate, gentle, social, house trained, crate trained and wonderful with adults, kids, dogs AND cats. He loves being outside, enjoys his walks and has a happy little howl that will let you know how he feels about things. Bennu doesn't know he's different. He only knows that he is loved, he is safe, and he is alive. After everything he endured, he still greets the world with happiness and a heart full of love. This special boy isn't looking for someone to feel sorry for him - he's looking for someone who will see the amazing dog he is and give him the forever home he has always deserved. Bennu is going to be A VERY special companion to the lucky person or family who chooses him. Medical Notes: Previous leg injury requiring amputation; fully recovered and doing wonderfully.
