Benji

Benji, a Maltese Shih Tzu mix, is an energetic 'pocket rocket’ looking for his furever home🏡.

Benji almost cartwheels for a treat, so has made great progress learning how to be a dog, including toileting outside ✔️.

This non-shedding cherub has some anxiety about the outside world, which means he’s still learning to walk safely on a lead 🐾, ride in the car 🚙, and cope with new environments and storms ⛈️. As a result, he needs a loving owner who has time, patience, and discipline to help him be the best doggie he can be. As his carers have experienced, once trust has been established, Benji is a devoted human shadow.

Benji is an excellent intruder detector and would be best suited to someone who is home more often than not, with a big, fenced yard to explore, and no children. He would be ok with other small dogs and is not tested with cats 🐈❌.

Benji can get possessive about his toys or when he steals a sock ‼️.
This boy has improved so much with his carers time and patience 💕.

Benji is a young, active boy who needs an active family that can provide patience, routine and structure. Could that be you?
