Tiny Shadow, Big Heart ❤️
Benny is a sweet and sensitive little companion with a gentle soul and a quiet charm that shines brightest once he feels safe and secure. He loves being near his person and will happily follow you from room to room or out into the yard, always wanting to stay close by like your tiny shadow.
Benny thrives in a calm, predictable environment and would do best in a quieter home where he can settle in at his own pace. Once comfortable, he enjoys cozy cuddles, exploring the yard, and showing off his adorable little zoomies when the mood strikes. He especially enjoys being outdoors and will gladly “help” with gardening or simply keep you company while you go about your day.
Treats are easily the way to Benny’s heart, and he appreciates gentle encouragement as he continues building confidence. He is currently working on house training and does best with a consistent routine. He is making progress and will sometimes signal when he needs to go outside, but continued patience and structure will be important for his success.
Benny gets along well with other dogs and cats, but he does require a small, calm companion dog in his new home to help him feel secure and continue building confidence. A companion with similar size and energy would be ideal. He would also do best with children over the age of 8 who understand how to interact respectfully with a small, sensitive dog.
Because Benny enjoys outdoor time so much, a securely fenced yard is required so he can safely explore and play. His ideal home would be one where someone is home much of the time, such as a retiree or someone who works from home, as he truly enjoys companionship and being near his people. He also loves sleeping close to his person at night and will happily settle in nearby.
Benny is the kind of dog who forms a deep bond with his family. With patience, consistency, and a loving routine, he will reward his new family with loyalty, affection, and plenty of joyful little zoomies.
Benny’s adoption donation is $500 and he is being fostered in the Central Ohio area. He has been neutered, microchipped, received his rabies, distemper/parvo, bordetella, tested negative for heartworm and started on prevention as well as flea prevention. Benny has also had a dental cleaning.

If you are viewing this biography on a website other than the Ohio Fuzzy Pawz website like Petfinder, Adopt-a-Pet, or another search engine (the OFP website is www.ohiofuzzypawz.com), not all information transfers to partner websites in some instances. If you go to the
individual webpage of our dogs
, you will be able to get more information each dog.
Visual breed identification in dogs can be unreliable so, in many cases, we are only guessing at the predominant breed or breed mix. We get to know each dog as an individual and will do our best to describe each of our dogs based on personality, not by breed label.
The adoption process has several steps involved.
Please review prior to submitting an application.
Our adoption process is detailed here:
http://www.ohiofuzzypawz.com/info/adoption
Our volunteers work very diligently to process each application and we try to ensure that we are making the best match possible for each dog. We do not schedule meetings with dogs until an application has been approved. It can take up to a few weeks to process an application or as little time as a few days, from the time you submit an application, please be prepared to adopt as we cannot hold dogs.
Some dogs may have special requirements (for example, medications, a fence) -- if you apply for a dog, please be sure to read over the biography completely to see if there are any special needs and if you're home would be suitable. If we indicate on the dog's biography that a fence is required, this means your home must have a physical fence. Other dogs may require a "strong vet reference" which indicates that we are looking for a home that has a documented history of veterinary care with previous pets.
The first step in our process is to submit an online adoption application at www.ohiofuzzypawz.com/forms. The application MUST include the personal references and veterinary, grooming, and landlord references (if applicable) and their respective contact information. If you do not include the references and the contact information, your application will be delayed as it CANNOT be processed. Once the references have been successfully completed, a home visit is then scheduled when a rescue representative can meet all members of the family or residents of the home.
No application is approved prior to the home visit being done.
At that point, the Directors will discuss any and all applications on a foster dog and make a selection--in many cases, there are multiple applications for each dog, so please be understanding that our only priority is the successful placement of each of our foster dogs.
We do adopt out of state to outstanding applicants, however, our process requires a home visit, so out of state adoptions can take longer.
We do not ship our dogs, adopters should be prepared to pick up the dog in Central Ohio.
