Meet Benny

Meet Benny – Bouncy, Loving, and Full of Puppy Joy

Benny is one of the lucky few. Born on the outskirts of a rural Serbian village, he was part of a vulnerable pack we fed daily. His father, Dex, and his mother, a grey Staffy, did their best to keep their pups safe, but tragedy struck when local villagers began poisoning the area’s street dogs. Despite professional attempts over two years, we’ve sadly been unable to catch Benny’s mother, though we continue to feed and care for her from a distance. When the danger escalated, we acted quickly and Benny and Dex were the only two we were able to save. The rest of the litter vanished.

Benny was rescued in July 2025, and he’s been thriving ever since. At under 1 year old at the time of rescue, Benny is a stunning black Lab x Staffy mix with all the joyful, playful energy of a puppy. He’s a sweet, cuddly, and affectionate boy who adores people, especially once he’s had a little time to feel safe. He’s fantastic with other dogs and would love to have a canine friend in his new home.

He does have a playful, cheeky side! He likes to carry things around in his mouth and will happily play with shoes, clothes, or his food bowl! But it’s all part of being a young dog discovering the world. He’s not a fan of birds and has shown a bit too much interest in cats, so a cat-free home may be best, though further testing can be done.

Benny is best suited to an active home where he’ll get plenty of exercise, enrichment, and love. He’d be a brilliant companion for someone who enjoys long walks and wants a loyal, affectionate friend by their side.
