Here's what the humans have to say about me:
Hi! My name is Benji! I am chihuahua mix, approx. 10 lbs. and one hot mess!!
I am approx. 5 years old and a "tripod" that has had a tough time and looking for that special fur-ever home.
I have that feisty chihuahua disposition and separation anxiety issues.
I need a quiet, patient, mature couple that understands small dog behavior and would like to add me to their pack..I do best with a companion or 2 (or more?) that are my size...I do not do well around bigger dogs and do not care at all for cats.
I am house trained and if you miss my "signals", I do very well with a pad.
Because of my limitations, a level house with few stairs are best...
Once I am settled and "part of the pack" I am very affectionate and seek love and snuggles. I will play with my pack mates and humans.
I walk well in harness and lead but can get tire as might be expected.
I travel well in the car and enjoy being carried in a sling.
If you have spare love in your heart for me, please call 423-442-1015 to set up an appointment as I am in a foster home.

More about this shelter
Concern over a large, and ever increasing, population of homeless dogs and cats, instigated the opening of the Monroe County Animal Shelter.
A not-for-profit organization, Monroe County Friends of Animals help the shelter by providing volunteers, fundraising events, grant writing and more. There is always a need for more volunteers. With a small budget, donations are a welcome necessity. We have developed educational programs to promote spay/neuter and humane care of all animals.
