Story
Remember little Squirt? He found himself on the naughty list for poor behavior. He thought if he would bite, spit and spin the shelter would open the door and set him free. That turned out to be a bad plan One of our experienced dog fosters immediately drove to the shelter and brought him home! She named him Benji to start his new life. Benji spent some time pouting, but finally caved when he realized life was better on a lap. Benji is good with other dogs, has worked on his social skills with strangers, has learned to walk on a leash, is house broken, plays with toys and alerts to strangers!Benji is ready for his forever home with a loving family who will be understanding of his tarnished past.He is 12 pounds and approximately 4 yrs old.You can apply to meet Beni at ricopetrecovery.org! Adoption fee is $250
