Benny is a male 1-year-old Red Heeler mix and he’s got a big week ahead of him: He’s going in to be neutered next week and then he’ll be ready to go home with his new owner… Could it be you? He’s shy at first, but don’t let that fool you, he’s a spring-loaded sweetheart and he loves to explore.

Benny is currently at the Stephen Memorial Animal Shelter in Oskaloosa, Iowa. #PetOfTheWeek is sponsored by Faux Paws Bakery in Pella. Thanks to Faux Paws Bakery, the lucky person who adopts Benny will also receive a $10 Faux Paws Certificate.
