Meet Beni, the 13-pound package of pure sweetness ready to steal your heart and take NYC by storm! At just 3 years old, this charming little guy is looking for a fresh start, a warm lap, and a family to call his own. Beni recently found himself at a Texas shelter when his original owner experienced an unexpected life change. Through no fault of his own, his world was turned upside down—but his story is just getting started. Thanks to our amazing Texas Rescue Partner, Operation Kindness, and a generous flight chaperone, Beni is trading the Lone Star State for the Big Apple and flying high toward a bright new future! *Note: Beni could be arriving to LaGuardia Airport (LGA) as soon as Friday, September 18 around 2:15 p.m.* With his gorgeous tan-and-cream coat and scruffy charm, Beni is believed to be a Terrier/Poodle mix—though truthfully, his official DNA test would probably just come back as 100% irresistible. At a petite 13 lbs, he is the ultimate compact companion, perfectly sized for NYC apartment living, cozy couch snuggles, and strolls through the neighborhood. Beni has so much love to give and is completely turn-key ready to bring endless joy, soft head-tilts, and happy tail wags to a lucky individual or family. Whether you are interested in opening your heart to foster or offering him a forever home, Beni is ready to meet you! Want to welcome Beni to NYC? Apply to foster or foster-to-adopt him today! No additional photos are available. Vaccinated for rabies, DHPP, bordetella, heartworm negative, neutered and microchipped. Current on flea, tick, and heartworm prevention. To apply for Beni, visit our website (www.waggytailrescue.org) for an adoption application. It is important to fill out an application as soon as possible for consideration, and we require a complete application for you to meet an animal.
