About Benson
Meet Benson, a 1-year-old Chihuahua/Terrier mix weighing in at 12 lbs. This friendly little guy is neutered and has all his vaccinations up to date. He’s eligible for our foster-to-adopt program, so if you're interested, please reach out to us by email. For adopters looking to jump right in, submit an application on our website. Benson has a medium energy level, needing at least a 60-minute walk daily as well as some quick potty breaks. He's looking for an engaging home where he can socialize and stay mentally stimulated with training and interactive toys. Although we are still getting to know him, his initial interactions suggest he gets along well with other dogs and children, though adult supervision is always essential. We believe Benson is likely house-trained, but like most dogs, he may have a few transitional accidents as he adjusts to a new environment. He has yet to meet any cats, but he’ll likely do well with gentle introductions given his respectful temperament. Adoption is a journey and Benson is ready to embark on his. Help us find him that loving family he's been waiting for!
