Benji

Introducing the handsome Benji!

Benji is a Maltese x Chihuahua born 10th January 2018.

Benji was brought in to us as a stray and unfortunately his owner did not come to collect him. When Benji was first brought into the facility he was very guarded and tense when approached by staff. Although he has made great progress since being with us he can still become tense in certain situations. For this reason we feel he would be best suited to a family with either children over 12yrs or no children. Benji has shown himself to be generally a sweet boy and he can become quite playful with those he's comfortable with. He seems to get quite uncomfortable when placing a lead on him, but he this is slowly easing.

Although Benji was slightly more comfortable with smaller dogs than he was with large, he didn't test well with either. Even though both test dogs approached him relaxed & playful, Benji would growl & snarl at them. We believe he would be more comfortable being the only spoilt "child" at home.

Benji was mostly uninterested when doing his cat testing, however given his reaction to dogs & his history with pocket pets, we feel he would be best suited to being the only animal at home.

Benji has shown no signs of food aggression or separation anxiety while at the facility.

Benji's adoption fee is $500 and includes his desexing and lifetime registration.

Benji is also regularly treated for flea and worms and is up to date with his vaccinations
