About Benji

Meet Benji, a charming little scruffy boy who is a wire-haired terrier mix. At just one year old, he has already experienced a significant transformation. Rescued from the streets of North Jersey, Benji was initially very shy, but with the help of his loving foster home, he has become a delightful fluffy companion. He thrives in sunshine, enjoying playful runs in the yard and leisurely walks. While Benji shares his foster home with other dogs, he would flourish best in an adult-only household as the sole pet. He adores his foster mom and loves being pampered all day long. His happy place is snuggled up on a couch or chair with a soft blanket to cozy into. If you're ready to provide a warm home for this affectionate little guy, Benji is waiting for you. Click apply to start the adoption process.
