Benny

Pug · Male · Young · 3 years

Hey there, I'm Benny and I am a lovely unusual looking dog and I'm on the hunt for my forever home.I have come into the centre as I was living with my litter sister but we just didn't get along, so although I can be very sociable outside of the home with other dogs it will be best if I am the only resident dog.I am a really fun guy who loves to play, in fact I may just need my games of fetch restricting as I could do it for hours and that isn't too good for me!!! The team here are now teaching me swaps and some impulse control as I can get quite demanding when it comes to toys. I am very well mannered, and most of the time walk very well on my lead. I have good recall skills and have been used to being off lead around other dogs with no issues at all.I am a very sweet boy but also a little sensitive. I take a little longer to build up trust with male handlers so will need new owners who are willing to take their time with me and shower me with love, positivity and patience. Then you will get to see the real Benny and how lovely and affectionate I can be. I have been super worried at the vets in the past and had to wear a muzzle, but the team here have been doing some great work with me around this to show me it's not so scary and my confidence is starting to grow.I am super foody which makes all this training great fun and super tasty, so I can't wait to do more - apparently I am very quick to learn! I love the outdoors so really hope my new home has a good sized garden and I enjoy walks where I can sniff and explore. I can't wait for someone to give me a chance, and see what a lovely dog I am, bye for now, Benny x NAWT Cornwall Wheal Alfred Kennels Wheal Alfred Road Hayle Cornwall TR27 5JT Choose an item from our Amazon wish-list and it will come straight to us! Sponsor me and my friends to ensure I am safe and warm until I find a family to call my own.

About Benny

What life with Benny looks like

Benny is a young adult pug dog waiting at National Animal Welfare Trust in Watford.

An young adult dog fits most household rhythms once the first couple of weeks of adjustment pass. Two reasonable walks a day plus play time is usually enough. Plan a "decompression fortnight" — quiet routine, no visitors, no off-leash adventures — to let them settle.

🇬🇧Adopting from United Kingdom

UK shelters work under the Pet Travel Scheme (post-Brexit, the EU pet passport is not valid; a UK Animal Health Certificate is required for travel into the EU). Most UK rescues focus on domestic placements but some work with EU partners.

Frequently asked

Adopting Benny, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Benny?
Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. National Animal Welfare Trust handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Benny on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Benny if I live in another country?
Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — National Animal Welfare Trust will tell you what they need (EU pet passport, rabies titer, transport coordination) and whether they handle transport themselves or refer you to a partner. UK adopters: post-Brexit travel into the EU requires an Animal Health Certificate. Plan for an extra €100–€350 in transport costs depending on distance.
Is Benny already vetted, vaccinated, and chipped?
Most dogs on TailHarbor leave their shelter with sterilization, current vaccinations, microchip ID, and an EU pet passport included in the adoption fee. The vet status on this page reflects what the shelter has reported — ask them directly if you need details on specific vaccines, recent bloodwork, or chronic conditions.
What happens if Benny isn't the right fit?
Every reputable rescue accepts an animal back if the adoption genuinely doesn't work — that's part of the standard contract. Talk it through with National Animal Welfare Trust early rather than rehoming privately; they know Benny and can place them more successfully than a second-hand listing can.
Why does the description sometimes read awkwardly?
TailHarbor translates shelter descriptions into English from the source language (EN). Translation is imperfect — names of streets, donors, and shelter-specific terms occasionally slip through unidiomatically. For the cleanest read, click the source link to see the shelter's original page.
