Bengie was discovered roaming the streets with a small pack of canine companions before being rescued by Manatee County Animal Welfare. While several of the dogs were quickly adopted, shelter living was not for Bengie and he showed signs of stranger danger and stress. Bengie arrived at Satchel’s several months ago and quickly settled into a loving foster home. There, he had the opportunity to relax and build trust with the help of his foster mom, as well as his foster feline and canine companions. Over time, Bengie began to unwind and reveal his true personality. Marilyn and Wayne were seeking to adopt a sweet, smaller pup and immediately formed a bond with Bengie during their first meeting and brought him home soon thereafter. Congratulations to Bengie and his new Mom and Dad!
