Meet Benji!
This adorable little man is looking for a home of his own!
Benji is a male, 5 year old Poodle mix, and weights around 25 pounds. He will be fixed, up to date on his shots and microchipped as part of his adoption. He is NOT hypoallergenic. We are having him groomed prior to adoption.
Benji has thus far been failed by many people. He was originally surrendered to a kill shelter by his owners. He was almost put to sleep there due to space but was then “saved” from the shelter by a “rescue group”. Then, Solely based on discovered Benji was not great with other dogs they decided to have him euthanized….. Luckily for Benji the vet refused to euthanize a young friendly dog for that “rescue” and we were contacted to help him find a safe new home.
***I have chosen to leave this rescues name off this post, HOWEVER, if anyone from that group starts even the smallest bit of trouble with me over this post I have no problem sharing the photos, paperwork, proof, etc with the public. I shouldn’t have to rescue dogs from rescues…Chose wisely.**
Benji has shown zero aggression with humans. He’s very sweet and loving.
He is very dog selective though. He does okay with some dogs and goes after others with no warning. Due to this Benji can only go to a home as an only dog. He has done great with cats so far.
He has been around several kids and done amazing with them HOWEVER, in what we were told was solely done to try and convince the unwilling vet to kill the dog, the rescue stated to the vet that he lunged at a child while in his kennel. Although we have serious doubts about the legitimacy of this statement we will only allow him to go to a home with older kids.
Benji has a moderate energy and while he gets playful, he would be happy with just a few walks a day as long as he gets to sit down with his person afterwards and cuddle he is content.
He is very well behaved in the home. He is leash trained and crate trained. He can be left out in the home without being destructive. He is still working on house training.
Benji knows a few commands ( Sit, stay and down) and rides well in the car.
After so much moving around, Benji is still a loving dog who deserves his forever home.
