About Benji $

Meet Benji, an engaging 2.5-year-old Heeler mix who weighs about 37 lbs. This handsome fella has a steady tail wag and an infectious smile, guaranteed to brighten anyone's day. Benji was surrendered by his previous owner along with his buddy Lydia, and he carries with him a friendly, social demeanor. Benji’s striking blue heeler coloring draws attention wherever he goes. With his unique long body and short, stubby legs, he turns heads on busy streets. He thrives on social interactions and loves meeting new friends. Foster reports he's housebroken, gets along well with kids, and enjoys car rides. However, he doesn’t get along with small animals or cats, so a dog-free, feline-free environment is essential for him. He has lived harmoniously with large dogs and seems ready to make more canine friends. Benji is playful, enjoying squeaky toys and ball games but also knows when to check in with his human friends for some affection. Come meet Benji, the coolest guy around! Start your journey together!
