About Benjamin

Benjamin is a young male mixed breed dog with a charming personality. He’s likely born around September 1, 2025, and weighs about 12 pounds. Though recently shaved, he’ll look even cuter once his fur grows back. His nippy behavior might stem from past discomfort, but he could also just be the spirited Chihuahua type that thrives in a loving home. For this reason, he’d do best in a household without young children. Benjamin gets along well with both large and small dogs, and he’s reportedly good with cats too. He walks nicely on a leash and enjoys car rides. Once he bonds with you, he becomes a devoted snuggler. Though he initially struggled with marking, he’s now neutered and adjusting well — you might need to assist him with training during the transition to your home. This little guy is curious and intelligent, with eyes that draw you in. Someone out there is going to love Benjamin.
