About Benny (Podengo portugueso) in Albuquerque

Benny is waiting for you at Albuquerque Animal Services - Westside in Albuquerque, NM 87121. Benny may be small, but he packs a whole lot of personality into his 19-pound frame — and those long legs mean he’s always ready for action! He’s easy to walk, does well on leash, and knows sit and comes when called. He takes treats gently (even if he’s a little picky about his snacks) and absolutely loves attention — especially if it means putting his paws right in your lap for extra love. He’s affectionate without being needy, playful without being wild, and always up for a walk, a game, or a cuddle on the couch. He does best with **older kids (12+)** who can respect his space and energy.Because Benny likes all the attention for himself, he’s looking for a home where he can be the **only pet**. He thrives in an environment where he doesn’t have to share toys, treats, or your affection — and honestly, once you meet him, you won’t want to share him either. He’ll do best with someone who can give him structure, love, and time to adjust — and he’ll repay you with endless tail wags and unwavering devotion. Benny is also looking for a home that can set him up for success. Because of his histoy of escaping, he would thrive with a family who will provide a secure yard and the attention and exercise he deserves. If you’ re looking for a fun-sized companion who will happily trot by your side, keep you entertained, and sneak his way into your lap (and your heart), Benny might just be your perfect match.
