I’ve had Benely since a pup and he’s now just over 3 years. I need to find him the ideal new home of someone with a lifestyle block where he can run and follow and/or be with you all day. He could also benefit from a more active owner who has good fencing and would be happy with lots and lots of ball games to run of that energy
