Benji is a 2 year old maltese mix who LOVES to play! Tug and fetch are his favorites, which he will play with you as long as you are willing to appease him. He is a happy boy who is always excited to see his humans and get all the belly rubs. Snuggling with you on the couch is his perfect ending to the day.

Even though he doesn’t understand why humans need to work sometimes instead of giving him all their attention (we don’t either), Benji is a well-behaved boy who does know how to entertain himself with his toys when needed. He has not shown any destructive tendencies in his foster home (chewing, digging, etc.). He is house-trained, crate-trained, and does great on a leash. Walks are definitely a highlight of his day and will help to tire him out.

Benji gets along well with other dogs who are his age and older. He likes to be the baby, and is not a fan of young puppies forcing themselves into his space, though that is exactly what he will do to other dogs he wants to play with. We suggest any dogs in Benji’s new home be older than him and have a calm temperament. We recommend that any children in his new home be older for that same reason. He also gets along well with cats.
