Toy (0 – 10 lbs) Learn MoreSweet little Benny is a terrier/chi/dachshund mix with giant ears and a velvety coat. He would be happy in a home already graced with one or more dogs. He has been cuddling dogs and humans in his foster home nonstop, making up for a lack of cuddles early in life. He is not 100% on the housetraining yet, so we crate him when we can’t supervise. He’s very fearful, particularly of men, and because of this he can be timid, but not the tiniest scrap of that has manifested in aggression: he is like a little frightened deer who is learning that humans are kind and safe and the bearers of cheese. He is already blossoming in his bravery and the right gentle family will help him build bravery and trust. Four days ago, he wouldn’t even walk outdoors and now he trots along merrily. He is learning some good skills for shy dogs, like “touch.”
