My story

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

Benji is a 3-year-old Shih Tzu mix with a playful spirit and a heart full of potential. He can be incredibly friendly, sweet, and loving, but sometimes his excitement gets the better of him, and he needs help learning when to settle down. Benji thrives in calm, adult-only environments where he can feel safe and supported. With patience, love, and structure, Benji’s true personality will shine, making him the perfect companion for someone who appreciates a dog with a little spunk and a lot of heart. Benji might do okay with other dogs or cats -- we will have a meet & greet to be sure.
