🐾 BENNY NEEDS A HERO 🐾

Benny is one of those dogs who is impossible not to love.

At 5–6 years old, this handsome, stocky Pitbull has left the puppy chaos behind and is simply looking for someone to share life with. He loves people, loves attention, and wants nothing more than to be part of a family. If you're sitting down, Benny wants to sit with you. If you're walking through the house, Benny wants to come along. He truly just enjoys being with his humans.

Benny does well with other dogs, cats, and children. He is built like a tank and plays like a linebacker, but his intentions are always good. He's a happy, affectionate dog with a goofy personality and a huge heart.

He is neutered, microchipped, current on vaccinations, house-trained, and uses a doggy door. He's the total package and has so much to offer a family willing to give him a chance.

We know his breed can sometimes be overlooked, but Benny deserves the same opportunity as any other dog. He is a wonderful companion who is ready to spend his days loving and being loved.

If you are looking to adopt, we'd love to hear from you. We are also open to inquiries from reputable, reliable rescue organizations that may be able to help Benny find the perfect placement.

Applications can be found on our website. Please share Benny's story—you never know who might be looking for a best friend just like him. ❤️🐾

🎆 Fireworks Season Is Almost Here — Is Your Dog Ready? 🐾

For many of us, fireworks are a fun part of summer. For our pets, they can be absolutely terrifying.

If your dog struggles with loud noises, now is the time to talk with your veterinarian. Don't wait until the week of the Fourth of July. Every year, veterinary clinics receive a flood of calls from pet owners seeking help for anxious pets, and appointment availability can become limited.

Signs of firework anxiety may include:
🐾 Pacing or restlessness
🐾 Trembling or shaking
🐾 Excessive panting
🐾 Hiding
🐾 Barking or whining
🐾 Attempting to escape doors, fences, or crates
🐾 Loss of appetite

Many dogs benefit from a plan that is put in place before fireworks begin. Your veterinarian can help determine whether calming supplements, behavior modification techniques, anxiety wraps, pheromone products, or prescription medications may be appropriate for your pet.

It's also important to remember that frightened dogs are more likely to run away. Make sure collars fit properly, ID tags are current, and microchip information is up to date.

The best time to prepare is before the fireworks start—not after your dog is already in a panic.

If your pet has a history of noise anxiety, give your veterinarian a call soon and get ahead of the holiday rush. A little planning now can make a huge difference for your dog's comfort and safety this summer.
