About Benji

Benji is a 3-month-old Pit Bull/Boxer mix with a short tan and white coat and an easygoing grin. He’s friendly, playful, and up for just about any adventure you can think of. He hasn’t quite mastered house training yet since he’s still a puppy, but he makes up for it with cheerful curiosity and a love for people—especially kids. Benji has had his first round of puppy shots and flea/tick prevention, and he’s been microchipped and dewormed. He isn’t neutered yet because he’s too young, but he will be old enough at about six months. Benji has a small hernia that may close on its own or can be fixed when he’s neutered. He’s the kind of dog who’d shine in an active family, especially with children and other pets to play with. Benji gets along well with other dogs and even cats. If you’re looking for a bold, affectionate pup to join life’s adventures, Benji’s ready to meet you. Ready to fall in love? Hit apply and lets get started.
