Harley's Haven Dog Rescue

Unfortunately Benedict is coming back to our rescue, and this handsome 11-month-old pittie mix is looking for a foster or forever home where he can be the only dog and continue learning how to be his best self. He is still very much a puppy — energetic, athletic, goofy, and full of personality — and he needs an experienced home committed to structure, exercise, and training.

​

What we love about him:

- The BEST zoomies (especially the pre-poop zoomies )

- Loves his people and wants to be involved in everything you do

- Crate trained

- Loves walks and literally trembles with excitement when it’s time to go

- Huge fan of tug-of-war, fetch, peanut butter, and busy bones

- Super athletic and would thrive with an active family

- Great cuddle buddy with adorable sleepy noises

- Loves routines and does very well with structure

- Enjoys watching the world go by from the window

- Training progress has been tremendous — his sit, stay, down, and leash manners have improved so much as he's grown!

 

Like many adolescent dogs, he still needs continued work and guidance. He can become mouthy during play and sometimes gets protective of high-value items (like bones, food, or new toys) - so he needs an adult home that understands large, energetic dogs and can redirect appropriately. He also requires a lot of physical and mental stimulation — if he gets bored, he’ll absolutely invent his own entertainment (usually involving shoes ).

​

Because of his play style and current adolescent behaviors, we are looking for:

- An only-pet home

- No young children

- Someone experienced with strong, high-energy dogs

- A home committed to continued training, structure, and exercise

 

At the end of the day, he is a loving, goofy young dog with a lot of potential who simply needs the right environment to succeed.
