About Benji

Meet Benji! Benji is a 55-pound, 4-5 year old neutered male mix of Australian Cattle Dog and Great Pyrenees, searching for a quiet, loving home to call his own. He's incredibly sweet, affectionate, and gentle, always wanting to be right beside you—his favorite spot is at your feet where he can soak up pets and cuddles. Despite his fluffy good looks, Benji is well-mannered on walks and knows commands like "come" and "sit" when treats are involved. He is up to date on all vaccines, including Rabies and Bordetella, but he is currently heartworm positive and undergoing treatment. Benji enjoys the company of other dogs but can be somewhat dominant, so he should be matched with a calm, easygoing canine buddy rather than an active or dominant dog. He has already started to show signs of being house trained, and with continued effort, he’s likely to excel in this area. If you’re looking for a gentle companion who prefers lounging over running marathons, Benji could be the perfect fit. If you're interested in adopting him, please contact Hamilton Animal Control at 254-499-2814. Ready to meet your new best friend? Apply now!
