My story

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

Name: Benji
Nicknames: Buddy. Little Guy. Jumper. Gremlin.
Sex: Male
Breed: Yorkie mix
Weight: 14 lbs.
Age: ~2.5 years
Before OMD: Found as a stray, roaming with a female Pug. No one came for him during his stray hold at the city shelter, so he (and his Pug friend!) joined the OMD family.
Energy level: Moderate. Loves to play and go for walks, but isn't the bouncing-off-the-walls type.
What we love most: When he rolls over on his back as he sees you coming over for pets. How excited he gets when he sees you getting his leash. How even more excited he gets as he sees you coming in the room - he even smiles! How snuggly he is.
What he loves most: Being with his people. Going for walks. Chasing, and just generally hanging out with, his tiny tennis balls. Playing in the yard. Nylabones. Snuggling up in his bed.
Working on: Keeping 4 on the floor when excited.
Aspires to be: An olympic hurdler
Kids: Yes, but should be dog-savvy kiddos since Benji is still working on his jumping
Dogs: Sure! He does bark at new dogs initially, but has successfully lived with dogs while in foster.
Cats: Yep.
House-trained: Yes!
Crate-trained: Yes again!

Benji is neutered, vaccinated, and heartworm negative. He is available for adoption to residents of CT and surrounding states. If you are interested in adopting, please complete an application from omdrescue.org
