About Benji

Meet Benji, a 4-year-old Chiweenie who weighs 23 pounds. He has a gentle soul and a loving disposition. Currently being fostered in Foley, Alabama, Benji is rediscovering the joys of life with caring humans around him. When he first arrived, he faced a flea infestation that led to some fur loss, but he's recovered beautifully, and his coat is coming back in lush and healthy. Benji is an affectionate and mild-mannered companion with a medium to low energy level. He gets along splendidly with everyone—dogs, cats, and children alike. He's not demanding; a cozy corner next to you and some gentle petting is all he craves. As he undergoes heartworm treatment, which the rescue covers entirely, he’s looking forward to a bright future filled with love. Neutered, microchipped, and vaccinated, Benji is a lovely boy who simply seeks a home where he can snuggle and be cherished. If you want a loyal friend to join your family, Benji could be the perfect match. Ready to make this sweet boy part of your life? What are you waiting for? Apply today!
