About Benji - 13 Week Old Mixed Breed (Trial)
This cheeky gorgeous boy is Benji! A lively and loving 13-week old pup who will make a beautiful companion for a family.
Part Kelpie? Part Staffy? Part Foxy… who knows?! One thing’s for certain though, this guy is ALL PARTS GORGEOUS!
Benji loves:
- Hanging out close to his hoomans (he’s relaxing under my feet as I type this)
- Zoomies across the lawn and playtime chasing his toys
- SNUGGLES!
Benji is a gentle boy who is eager to please and is rapidly learning good manners. He has a cheeky streak that makes his foster family laugh, especially when he slides down the stairs! He loves a run around in the back yard and any interaction with people. He's good with his 7-year old foster human, and providing lots of toys to chew will keep him from nipping.
Benji is toilet-trained and partially crate-trained. But c’mon, who wants to sleep in a crate when you could sleep on (or under) a bed?!
Benji’s perfect family would:
- Be home often (though Benji is a very good boy and can be left alone, providing he has plenty of stimulation).
- Allow him inside as part of the family
- Spend time interacting with him and playing fetch etc.
- Continue his basic training, remind him not to jump up when excited and teach him to walk nicely on a lead.
He is fed three times a day and loves any food, as well as carrots to chew on!
Benji is not yet tested around other dogs or cats although responds very well to treats and learns quickly. He would be best around kids aged 5+ as he may accidentally knock over little tots while trying to give them kisses!
Benji’s adoption fee is $700 which includes his desexing when he is old enough. It also includes his first two vaccinations. He has been treated for fleas and worms, and is microchipped.
Benji is in foster care in Boolaroo, NSW. As he is not yet desexed, he is only available for adoption to the Lower Hunter region (Newcastle, Lake Macquarie, Port Stephens, Maitland and Cessnock) plus Central Coast and Sydney.

can verify that your home and yard are suitable for the pet you've applied for.
(3) After that we will arrange for you to meet the pet, usually at the foster
carer's home, nearby park or your home.
(4) If both sides agree, then you can pay for and adopt your new family
