Benny von Agoura Hills
Adopted

Benny von Agoura Hills is a beautiful all black German Shepherd, possibly a touch of Labrador. Whatever he is, it all adds up to a delightful puppy. Benny has it all personality and a great temperament. He isn't nippy or mouthy at all like so many pups his age. He's absolutely the best retriever, especially in a pup so young. Very watchful of where the ball goes and never fails to bring it back to you (we're working on "drop" but he does give the ball up pretty easily). He also already had learned "sit" or he's a really quick learner. He is very nervous about being left alone, isn't afraid of things like the vacuum but isn't too confident when it comes to other dogs. He's warming up to his canine foster sister. Foster mom update: Benny is the #1 retriever and when he's in "the zone" he doesn't even drop the ball for a potty break (yes, he holds it in his mouth while he poops). Then when he needs a drink, he drops the ball in his water bowl so he can keep his eye on it the whole time he's lapping up the H20. When he's done, he simply picks the ball out of the water and trots right over to you and is only mildly bewildered when you're not dying to pick up the dripping-wet treasure as he drops it at your feet. But he’s so cute he knows we can't deny him a little game of sloppy-ball so the whole thing starts all over again. Tomorrow we're introducing the soccer ball, and I suspect he'll be a natural. Benny was intercepted in front of a shelter his family was turning him in because he ate a cable cord. One of our volunteers was there, Tim to the rescue!
