Benito - Mixed Breed and Weimaraner Dog for Adoption in Newark, New Jersey

Benito is a young dog, estimated to be just over a year old, who came to us as a stray. With his stunning coloring and striking good looks, he's impossible to miss-but it's his sweet personality that really steals the show.
As we're getting to know Benito, we've found him to be a social and affectionate boy who enjoys spending time with people. He likes toys and has a playful side, but he's also a sensitive dog who can be a little unsure in new situations. Benito is still adjusting to shelter life and may need a little time to build confidence in unfamiliar environments, but he warms up quickly once he feels comfortable.
This goofy, lovable guy is looking for a family that will give him patience, guidance, and plenty of opportunities to continue growing into the wonderful companion we know he can be. We're still learning more about Benito every day and can't wait to see him find the home he deserves.
