Hiya! I’m Benny the Bernedoodle, your future best buddy with a wagging tail and a big heart! I’m originally from the hustle and bustle of New York City, so I’m used to being on the move. Long walks? Yes, please! Agility courses? My favorite! I love meeting new people (I’m quite the socialite) and playing with other dogs who can keep up with my playful antics.

I recently got a fresh shave, and while my fluffy coat is taking a little break, I’m still as dashing as ever. But don’t let the haircut fool you—I’m more than just a pretty face! I’m also one of the cuddliest guys you’ll ever meet. I love curling up on the couch for a nap, getting belly rubs, and giving kisses. I can snooze all day if that’s your vibe, or be ready to play if you are—whatever energy you’re bringing, I’ll match it.

While I’ve got a fun, active side, my energy is very manageable. A couple of outings a day where I can sniff, explore, and get some mental stimulation is really all I need. I do great in the car (perfect trail buddy!) and I’m fully house-trained—no accidents at all in my foster’s apartment.

I’ve done so well with every person and dog I’ve met. I get excited around them but I’m polite—no barking or making a scene! I’d do really well with a dog friend in the home who enjoys playing, and I’ve got a special place in my heart for cheese and canned stew (hint hint).

I’m super smart, so if you only put me in a gated area when you leave, I’ll catch on quick! I’d prefer to sleep in your room (a cozy pen or gated area works fine if you’re not a “dogs on the bed” person) It’s a work in progress, and I’m getting better every day, but I’ll need a patient adopter who understands that I just really love being with my people.

I’m also a bit mouthy when I get excited—I might nibble your sleeve, finger, or necklace (never to hurt you, just how I play!). Tug of war and outdoor games help with that. I’ve also shown some very mild resource guarding because of this and my mouthy play style, I’m looking for a home without kids.

Apartment or house? Doesn’t matter to me—as long as I get some good outdoor time. I love off-leash running in a secure area and would be thrilled with daily romps in a fenced yard or dog park.

So, if you’re looking for a snuggly sidekick with a goofy, playful streak and a whole lot of love to give, I just might be your perfect match.
