About Benjamin
Youāre not likely to forget meeting Benjamināhe and his friend Olive showed up skin and bones, like Halloween has come early. Now his coat and spirit match the liveliness of a true Jack Russell mix, and he weighs in at a healthy 27 lbs. Heās about 2 years old, brimming with energy, chasing down every squeaky toy for a good destuff and then winding down next to you for a deserved snuggle on the couch. Benjamin is sharp, always eager to learn, and keen to keep things interesting around the house. Heās learning household routines, is crate trained, and does well on a harnessājust keep an eye out for squirrels, heās determined. Benjamin has a strong prey drive, so no cats in his new home. A fenced yard would be great, though not strictly necessary, as long as heās kept leashed outdoors and never off leash unless secured. Benjamin gets along with other dogs and is suitable for a family with children. If you appreciate the wit and punchy personality of a Jack Russell or Rat Terrier, Benjamin checks every box. Heās in Franklin, TN, and ready for transport to the northeast if needed. Give him a spot on your couch and let him brighten your days. They are ready to love you; are you ready to apply?
