Benji is our little 14mth old boy from a NSW country pound. Benji arrived with a severely ulcerated tongue and a disfigured front leg, originally thought to be an old untreated fracture. X-rays soon told us that both front legs were affected by early closure of the growth plates resulting in the long bones of the leg becoming “bowed”. A number of tests however could not explain why Benji’s mouth was in such a painful ulcerated condition, but good nutrition/antibiotics/oral mouth rinses/medicated drinking water and adequate pain relief was the treatment plan. His little tongue healed but unfortunately, is now pitted on the edges which means he will always be a messy eater/drinker and have a little excess frothy saliva.
Hormone tests explained to us that Benji was also a cryptochord (no testes) Lots of mystery with this little bubba’s health but now we have the full story and he is well on the way to a happy and healthy future.

Benji is a well mannered but adventure seeking, busy youngster who creates his own entertainment. An adorable, charismatic little boy he should settle over time once he has a stable, loving home where another grounded but playful dog resides.
His thick, silky coat on arrival into care has developed into a short, low maintenance exterior.
Benji has a great recall, sits well on command, walks beautifully on lead, travels well and is crate trained. He is a social pup but can bark frantically when he sees a new dog - this can be mistaken for dog selective behaviour when in actual fact he is very keen to meet & hopefully play with the other dog. This behaviour will be discussed with potential adopters as it does have an element of anxiety based.

Benji is ok with some cats, but without malice will chase those that run, so a home without cats and pocket pets would be best. A commitment to a fresh food diet is a requirement of Benji’s adoption.

We are seeking a home with a Level of Dog experience = 2.5/5
