About Benji

Meet Benji! This friendly young pup is about 6-7 months old and weighs 34 lbs. He’s expected to grow a bit more but won’t be a giant dog. Benji can be timid at first, but give him a moment and he’ll likely be crawling into your lap, proving to be sweet and affectionate. He thrives in the company of other dogs, making a doggy buddy a great addition to help him come out of his shell. His brother has been good around cats, suggesting Benji might have similar experience and may do well with them as well. In his foster home, he adjusted quickly to the routine and loves to play with toys, often collecting several at once. He enjoys running in circles and splashing in the wading pool on warm days. Although he's crate trained and sleeps soundly through the night, he loves being with people and will try to sit on your lap when you sit down. Benji is neutered, up to date on vaccinations, and up to date on parasite preventatives. The adoption fee is $185. If you’re interested in giving this sweet pup a forever home, consider reaching out soon. Your new best friend is just one click away.
