BENNY BOY (local) - kt

Hello, everyone! I'm a vibrant 3-ish year old corgi mix and my name is Beene, affectionately known as Benny Boy by humans. I can't stop smiling since I arrived in Canada in December 2023! I have been fortunate to live with caring foster families who've helped me settle into my new life. As a special-needs dog requiring diapers/belly bands for indoors, I am looking for an understanding and patient a person/family able to commit to my long-term care. I'm a lively pup with lots of energy, endless love to give, and excitement for what is to come! Breed: Corgi/Canaan DogAge: 3.5 yrsGender: MaleWeight: 45 lbsEnergy Level: moderateCountry of origin: Middle East Highlight(s): Special needs, energetic, affectionate, gentle Neutered, vaccinated, and microchipped. Adoption fee is by donation. Ideal home - Caring and patient human(s) understanding of his incontinence and able to change belly bands/diapers.Benny's story - Born in a small village in the Middle East, Benny's journey hasn't been an easy one. At just one month old, he was found whimpering alone under a tree. With his mother and littermates nowhere to be found. A kind human brought him to a shelter, where he spent 1.5 years sharing a small space with other dogs. Despite the challenges, Benny's resilience and sweet personality shone through, eventually earning him a ticket to a new life in British Columbia. Benny has met several foster families who've cared for him deeply, and where he had the opportunity to live with other dogs, which he got along very well with. Personality - Benny is a true sweetheart who lives for human affection. He's known for gently placing his paw on your arm or leg as if to say, "It's time for pets!" His soulful eyes are guaranteed to melt your heart. Though Benny can be a little timid when meeting new humans (especially men), he warms up quickly with patience and kindness. In fact, his current male foster won him over in just five minutes! Benny is a fast learner, eager to please, and very food-motivated, making training a breeze. He's gentle, has no resource guarding, and is great with kids.Benny thrives in the company of playful canine friends and would love a home with another dog or access to regular dog park outings. He does not have any documented separation anxiety so he is fine to be left alone for a few hours.Special Needs - Benny's incontinence issue is likely neurological (undiagnosed). He signals when he needs to go outside for bowel movements but struggles with bladder control; managed indoors with belly bands. A home with a fenced yard would be ideal to provide him space to run, play, and explore while making bathroom breaks easier for everyone. Fears: Some loud noises such as busy traffic can spook Benny.
