About Benjie
Benjie is a charming 20-month-old Miniature Schnauzer who has a knack for winning hearts, both canine and human. He enjoys leisurely walks on a leash and playtime with his toys, settling down for at least eight hours of peaceful sleep in his own bed at night. This affectionate little guy flourishes in the company of another dog, which helps reduce any stress when left alone. While he loves to play, he benefits from supervision to avoid chewing on things he shouldn't. Benjie has Irritable Bowel Disease (IBD), which involves careful management of his diet to keep his digestive system healthy. He follows a strict prescribed diet, needing to steer clear of any other food or treats. Additionally, he experiences occasional fecal incontinence, requiring routine bowel management to prevent discomfort. His daily routine involves taking MiraLAX to maintain stool consistency and regular potty breaks, typically needing to relieve himself every 2-3 hours. He’s amazing at signaling when he needs to go out by heading to the door, showing just how smart he is. In the evenings, he wears a reusable diaper to manage any potential leaks. Despite his medical needs, Benjie is a joyful and loving companion, and once he gets into a routine, he becomes a delightful addition to any home. Many dogs like Benjie may need time and patience to adjust, especially those not previously well-socialized. Older children may be a good fit for him due to his playful nature.
