About Benji
Meet Benji, the sweet goof ball!
While he sometimes gets over-excited when meeting new canine friends, his gentle personality and good lead manners make him a delightful companion. Benji is highly trainable, and with his enthusiasm for toys and treats, teaching him new tricks is both fun and rewarding. Ideal for first-time dog owners, his playfulness and basic training lay down the perfect foundation for a life full of learning and companionship.
For people, Benji is friendly and loyal, making playtime a cherished experience. He already knows the basics and is always ready for new adventures, be it walks, runs, or games that keep him mentally engaged.
Benji thrives in a structured environment, where exercises and enrichment activities are part of the daily routine.
Medical notes
No known pre-existing conditions.
Adoption details
We run by appointment, preferably all members of the household to come meet the animal you are wanting to adopt.
If you own another dog, you must bring them along to make sure all dogs get along.
As our goal is to adopt animals out from the shelter into loving homes as fast as possible, multiple bookings may be made for the same animal.
We are not able to hold any animals for any reason.
As such, there is a possibility that the animal you may have found a forever home before your appointment. If this is the case we will inform you by phone call as soon as possible.
Appointment Hours:
Mon- Fri
1:00PM- 4PM
Saturdays for Dec
10am-1pm
Sat 13th
Please give the shelter a call on 5334 2075 or email animalshelter@ballarat.vic.gov.au for more information about the animal and our adoption procedures.
Apologies if we do not reply to your enquiry, we are a busy Shelter and get pulled away from the office often.
We appreciate you wanting to adopt! Please do not let this discourage you from adopting in the future!
