Benji is a 5-year-old chihuahua mix—nobody’s quite sure if there’s terrier or dachshund in the mix, but he’s definitely one-of-a-kind. He weighs about 14 lbs with a short, long body, bendy ears, and soulful brown eyes. Benji is house and crate trained, and actually enjoys curling up in his crate for alone time. He gets along well with dogs, and in his past home, he was gentle and good with a child. He’s less predictable around cats, likely to want to chase, so a cat-free home might be best. New situations can make Benji nervous. He’ll need a patient adopter who can offer a calm, quiet start and let him come around at his own pace. As soon as he feels safe, he’ll attach to you, following you around the house and snuggling whenever he gets the chance. Walks, belly rubs, and couch cuddles are his idea of a good day. If you’re ready for a loyal, endearing sidekick, Benji could be the one. Click apply to start the adoption process.
