About Benji

Meet Benji, a loving young Labradoodle with a sweet demeanor. Weighing around 30-35 lbs and standing on the medium side, he is just two years old. Benji has faced more than his share of hardship. Found with a rope around his neck, he likely escaped a very abusive situation. The rope caused a deep infection, but with veterinary care, including laser treatments, he's healing well. Initially shy due to past trauma, Benji may seem timid and might need some time to warm up. He has never bitten anyone; he just requires understanding and affection. He carries a scar on his neck, a reminder of his difficult journey. Additionally, Benji is still getting the hang of leash walking, and he might be frightened of harnesses. It will take gentle guidance for him to adjust. Despite his past, Benji gets along well with other dogs, cats, and children. All he needs now is a loving and patient family to show him what a happy life can look like. Ready to make a difference in his life? Apply to adopt Benji today!
