Check out our sister brand, Kinship, for vet chat, a nutrition calculator, basic obedience training, and (much) more. So you're never flying solo in this pet parenting thing.
Can you say photogenic or what?! Just look at that face - and those ears! This sweet guy is a selfie pro, always ready for the camera, especially if there’s a treat involved. When he`s not hamming it up for photos, Benji’s other passions include a good game of fetch, plush toys, and topping both of those… his absolute favorite thing in the world: treats!
Benji is a rockstar at keeping his kennel clean, and he’s quite the social butterfly! At the shelter, we’ve observed that he has an enthusiastic, confident, and spirited playstyle with other dogs - he’s often found following the fun around the play run! If he gets a bit too jumpy, he responds well to redirection, especially when treats are part of the deal (obviously!).
On walks, Benji sometimes gets a little too excited about the leash at first, but a bit of patience and a tasty treat usually do the trick, and he’s off and strolling! He’s still perfecting his “no-pulling” skills, but hey, no one`s perfect, right?
Benji would thrive in a home with consistent expectations, a structured routine, and maybe a dog buddy to share the fun (though he’d also be happy as the solo superstar!). With his energy and love for treats, agility training could totally be in his future. All this little guy needs are plush toys to play with, humans to follow and adore, continued training, and, of course, a steady treat supply - then there’s nothing he can’t achieve!
