My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Meet Benji
If little Benji isn’t the cutest thing going, we don’t know what is. This face will melt your heart and if his face doesn’t his personality certainly will. Benji was an owner surrender when just a tiny puppy, citing too many dogs. We were glad to give Benji the safety, security and love he so deserves as we look to find his forever home. Benji arrived on March 8, 2020. He’s been in quarantine to make sure he stays healthy, but during this time, staff spent a lot of time with Benji to ensure we was socialized.
Benji is now ready to be adopted and loved forever! Benji is three months old. Benji looks to be a mini wire-haired terrier, weighing just eight lbs. He has a beautiful reddish/fawn colored coat. It looks wiry, but is very soft. His eyes show his intelligence and he’s filled with curiosity. Benji is an energetic dog. He loves being with people. He loves scampering around, being held, and snuggling. Benji loves pretty much anything where he gets attention. He’s a big delight wrapped in a small body. Given Benji’s young age, he’d probably do well with other dogs his size and most likely he’d learn to live with cats.
Benji is an absolute doll. If you’re looking to welcome a cute-as-a-button, sweet-as-pie little pup to your family, come meet Benji. You’ll be glad you did.
