About Benji

Meet Benji, a delightful young male who was found abandoned along with his friend Nathan. They both deserve a fresh start with a loving family who will cherish them. Benji previously lived with other dogs and got along well, but we recommend a meet and greet with any potential canine companions or children prior to adoption to ensure a good match. While Benji's history remains a bit of a mystery, we know he is neutered and up to date on all vaccinations, having been cared for to ensure a healthy transition into a new home. Remember to give him time to adjust; following the 3-3-3 rule will help him thrive in his new environment. Benji is currently waiting for you at Iredell County Animal Services & Control Department.
