Benito

This friendly pitty's name is Benito, which means "blessed." He is a sweetheart with a lot of love to give, so perhaps that's why his former owners gave him such a lovely name? Benito came to the shelter due to housing restrictions - his former owners lived in close proximity to neighbors and Benito was too vocal for them. When he first arrived at the shelter, Benito was a little overwhelmed, so he was a bit of a "low-rider" in the yard as he began to explore the layout. But within a couple days, he seemed to get over his feelings of nervousness and then he decided to become a lap dog. He's made friends with several shelter staff members, and he enjoys nothing more than climbing into their laps for cuddles and pets! We're not sure how Benito would do with other dogs, so if there were a resident dog in the home, we'd want to do a dog meeting at the shelter to ensure personalities seemed to work. No cats for this guy! Older respectful children might be okay. If you're interested in a cute, fun pitty like our snuggle-bug here, call the shelter at (603) 472-3647 and press 1 for adoptions to schedule an appointment to meet him!
