Story
Adoptable in: MA, RI, NH, CT, and VTGood with dogs: YesGood with cats: YesGood with kids: YesCrate trained: MostlyHouse Trained: YesHere’s Benji!! The calmest and cutest muppet-looking doodle you ever did see. He has the most captivatingly soulful eyes and an endearing, tender temperament that makes him truly lovable from the moment you meet him. This boy is sure to leave an indelible mark on the lives of one very fortunate family. Psst…he also has a sister, Sadie!Benji and his sister were completely neglected by their owner and found roaming the streets, their survival solely hinging on the kindness of neighbors who fed them. Despite Benji’s past, he is a very well-behaved and trusting pup—nearly perfect in every way. His only flaw is that he can get a little jumpy when excited, but he is otherwise a very chill canine.He is great with the kids he has met (ages 6-14), but due to his size and bounciness, a home with younger children is not advised. He gets along well with dogs of all sizes and loves to play with them. He’s naturally intuitive to their body language, knowing when to back off and give space as needed. He tolerates cats and is a passionate people-pleaser. He definitely has the poodle smarts and is super eager to learn.Benji absolutely LOVES water; when his foster would bring out the hose, he would go wild playing in it! He will sit calmly to be loved on and will lay on the floor at your feet for as long as you’ll allow. He had the luxury of a doggy door and a fenced-in backyard while fostered but is wonderful on a leash. With a regular routine, he will be just fine in a home without these conveniences.We’d be remiss not to mention that he is a potential flight risk. However, when he did run out the door, he stayed in the yard and would return if left alone—unless you try to chase him, then it’s game on as he thinks you’re engaging in a round of catch-me-if-you-can.If you are looking for a foot warmer for those long winter months and a swimming buddy for those sweltering summer days, Benji’s your boy! He is a truly extraordinary companion who deserves a loving home where he is cherished and cared for.Please Note: All dogs currently available for adoption are posted on our website.
