My story

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

APPLY HERE https://is.gd/pawsfor​seniorsapp

(Application opens in a new browser window.)



Benji is a 7 year old, very handsome little boy who will devote all his attention to you. He is independent and knows what he wants and he can be a little stubborn at times. We think he was spoiled and didn't receive much training. In spit of this, he is very loveable and enjoys TV time, laying next to you and he is always up for a walk around the neighborhood.

Benji needs an "alpha" type owner to show him the ropes. He came to us from a local shelter as an owner turn-in. He was only at the shelter for a day before he was transfered to us. He came with Pedigree paperwork which had his actual date of birth.

He was resently neutered and had a full blood panel analysis and is up to date on his rabies and distemper which are not due again until April of 2027. Benji is good with other dogs and cats and he can be tempermental with children.

A good home for Benji would be one without young children and an alpha owner who can continue his training.
