Benji draws from both Lab and Coonhound lines, bringing together sharp instincts and an outdoorsy stamina. At six years old, he’s just the right balance of energy and maturity—a dog who’ll happily join you for a morning run or a quiet hike. Benji’s tan coat gleams in the sunlight, highlighted by his classic floppy ears and lean build; he sits right at that healthy, athletic sweet spot. About 51 pounds and at his best with a couple of brisk walks daily, Benji thrives on activity and structure. He’s walked a rough road. After a difficult start in city shelters and an owner surrender, Benji needed time and reassurance to get his confidence back. He did well once adopted, but after a divorce, Benji found himself looking for someone to stick by. Now he’s eager for the stability of a true forever home. Friendly by nature, Benji still warms up a little slowly to new faces, but with patience he shows his softer side and builds lasting trust with the right people. He does best in an environment with adults, where routines stay gentle and people respect his space—children and their unpredictable energy aren’t a match for him, especially around food or toys. Benji is neutered, vaccinated, and in excellent health. He’s looking for an active, dog-loving adopter or couple to share a new start. Give him the open air and consistency he craves, and he’ll return the favor with loyalty. Ready to meet your new best friend? Apply now!
