Benito is new to our rescue. He is a 7 month old Mini American Shepherd (mini aussie) that came to our rescue due to his owner's health. He was very very loved by his previous family and we promised them, we would find him the perfect home.
Benito was nervous the first day he came to us but now is a playful, silly boy. He is crate trained and seems to be house broken. He is still learning to walk on a leash but even over the past few days that has gotten better.
So far, Benito loves other dogs, cats, kids, and everyone he meets.
