Why I need a new home

Does not get along with other pet

My story

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


Bennie came into my life in April 2024 — I found him on my porch, malnourished but as sweet as can be. I spent the next month looking for his family but believe he had been dropped off and abandoned. After having no luck, I brought him to be fixed and he has since received all of his vaccinations and is a healthy weight. The vets believe he is somewhere between 1-2 years, but definitely full grown at 13-14lbs. I love him so much and he has brought such joy into my life but unfortunately I have a 6 year old chihuahua and they do not get along very well. We have tried many things such as Prozac, training, the passage of time but have gotten to the point where it is too stressful for both animals. My dream home for Bennie would be a home with a yard to play in, a family who is at home more often (I’m in my fourth year of medical school and will be starting residency next year), and one without other dogs. I also think he would love being a family dog as he enjoys playing with children.
