My personality

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:


Benji is five years old, is trained to sit, lay down, high five, stay, place (he goes to his bed in his crate, and potty on the pad on command. He was my mother's dog for his first four years and an only pet and had her full attention. He is a real sweetheart. My mother has deteriorating health and surgeries and we offered to dog sit for her....she took the opportunity to never take him back. The issue is we already have a cat and another dog. Benji does NOT like the cat and always hunts the cat down and tries to start a fight, even though the cat is three times his size. Our other dog is blind and Benji and the cat discord is causing our poor blind baby a lot of anxiety and the cat and her no longer get along with Benji always sitting the pot. We really need to find Benji a loving home where he has a better quality of cat free life and our blind senior can live in peace. Crate, leash, etc come with Benji as well as his vet information and LOTS of toys.
