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

Additional adoption info

One More Dog Rescue (OMD), formerly Ruff Start Happy Tails, requires all potential adopters to fill out an adoption application and agree to a home visit prior to any adoption. Once the application is approved, a meet and greet will be scheduled between the potential adopter (s) and the dog.

When a dog is adopted through One More Dog, an adoption contract must be signed, and we ask that a donation in the amount of $500 ($350 for seniors) be made at the time of adoption to help our rescue cover a portion of the costs we incur through pull fees, vetting, and training.

Applications can be found here: http://www.omdrescue.org/adoptapp.html
*We will adopt to approved applicants (who are able to meet & adopt in person) who live in CT and the surrounding areas: New England, New York, and New Jersey.
