Benn - Urgent

Meet Benn!

As is the case with so many precious healthy pets, Benn is just a puppy and yet, he and his littermates were dumped at an overcrowded kill shelter in TX, through no fault of their own. Benn is a German Shepherd mix, about 5 mths old and a healthy 40 lbs! He is full of life and in true GSD fashion, he is goofy, sweet and loves to snuggle! Benn is very dog friendly, people friendly, housebroken, crate trained (although he doesn't really enjoy the crate), and he has pretty good recall. We think he might actually be ok with cats but need to do a full cat test as well as check out his leash skills! As he is still a puppy, relatively big already and going to get much bigger (!), he is probably a little too rambunctious and big for really little kids, he may accidentally knock them over so a home without small children is ideal. Benn has working breed DNA, so plenty of physical and mental activity, so an active family is preferred. As a puppy, Benn will require time, attention, training and socialisation with other pups. So a confident pack leader, with GSD or working breed experience, will be necessary for this pup to thrive. He will need to be house and crate trained too. Please consider all of this before you enquire about Benn. If you could open your heart and home for this young pup, please contact Shannon on 919 442 7720 ASAP!

Note: Benn will be neutered prior to adoption.
