Meet Benson, a very dapper and proper gentleman keen to find a home with a great family. Benson is a terrier/American pit bull mix with a golden coat and a white underside. He is 5 years old and weighs 62 pounds, so he’s kind of a big guy. Benson tries to be very sophisticated, but tasty treats can get him to break character pretty quick. He likes to go for walks and does splendidly on a leash. He’s made a few doggie friends at the shelter, so he might make a good second pet. Come down to the Dallas Animal Care Center and meet him.
