Story

Happy Thursday from Benji! This boy is an 8-year-old, 62-pound Terrier mix with a friendly attitude and a love for walks in the warm weather! Benji is a medium-energy fellow who would do well in a home where he can fetch balls, play with his beloved squeaky toys, relax, and find quiet spaces to take afternoon naps. Benji is fully potty trained and knows "sit," "stay," "come," and "heel!" Benji would do best in a home without small children and small or male dogs but could do well with a calm female dog! He will require a meet and greet for your resident dogs. He will thrive with a confident handler who understands his needs! Benji is neutered, microchipped, and up to date on his vaccines. You can visit him at the shelter Tuesdays through Sundays from 8:30 to 5:00 PM!
