About Benjamin

Benjamin is a gorgeous black and tan standard Dachshund, about 5 years old. He's had a loving home since puppyhood, but due to his owner's declining health, he's looking for a new family. This loyal boy embodies all the classic traits of a Doxie; he's sweet, curious, and a bit of a couch potato. While he's been the only pet in his past life, he gets along well with other dogs, though he's not sure how he'd feel about cats, as Doxies often like to chase them. Benjamin has been altered and is up to date on his vaccinations. He’s ready to bring affection and joy to a new forever home. A home visit is required, so please fill out an application to help Benjamin find his next chapter in life. Give him the loving home he deserves. Click apply to start the adoption process.
