Pet Pals: Meet Benito, a brave pup with a big heart

Benito has already overcome incredible odds and now, this little pup is ready for his forever home.

The Oregon Humane Society rescued Benito, along with 16 other animals, from a neglect case in Lake County. When responders found him, the 3-month-old terrier-chihuahua mix had a dangerously low body temperature of just 91 degrees, about ten degrees below normal.

Thanks to some quick thinking, the rescue team stopped at the Humane Society of Central Oregon for emergency care. Since then, his recovery has been remarkable.

Benito’s foster family says he’s already showing off his quick learning skills during training.

Now healthy and full of personality, Benito is looking for his new family; just in time for Valentine’s Day. You can meet him and other adoptable pets at the Humane Society of Central Oregon’s open house this weekend or go to their website.
