Description:
Benji is a sweet pup who’s ready for a fresh start! He can get a bit overwhelmed around younger kids, so he would do best in a home with older kids who are calm, gentle, and respectful of his space.
This boy is the perfect mix of energetic, playful, and cuddly. He loves going on walks, chasing tennis balls, and chewing on squeaky toys. He’s happy to play with you, but he’s also content entertaining himself when you’re busy. When the fun is over, he’s a total couch snuggler and will happily curl up right next to you.
He’s also a smart boy! Benji already knows sit, stay, and leave it, and he is crate trained and fully housebroken. Benji prefers to observe first and assess new situations, but once he knows he’s safe, his personality shines. He gets along well with other dogs. Benji is working on building his confidence and realizing that world is not all that scary. He has already made huge improvements. He is eager to please and will thrive with a patient, loving family who can help him continue to blossom.
Adoption Fee: $450
We are a Wisconsin state licensed dog rescue -WI# 402433
***We do not have a central adoption center at this time. All our dogs are in private foster homes within WI. At this time, we only place our dogs in areas of WI. The breed of our dogs is our best guess with the help of our veterinarians.
Our Weight Classes are as follows:
0- 25lbs - Small
26- 45lbs - Medium
46-89 - Large
90+ X-large
If you are adopting an adult dog, which we consider 6 months of age or older, your adoption fee includes the following:
Spay/Neuter, Rabies and Distemper shots, dewormed, flea & tick preventative, heartworm tested and microchipped.
If you are adopting a dog younger than 6 months of age, the dog will be up to date on the shots as per the dogs age. The dog will be dewormed, flea/tick preventative and microchipped. We only spay/neuter our dogs once they're at least 6 months old. If you decide to adopt a younger dog than 6 months, they will need to be spayed/neutered by your veterinarian when they are between 6 to 8 months old. Proof that the spay/neuter has been completed will need to be submitted to Tailwaggers911. Once proof of the spay/neuter has been received, we will refund $100 of your adoption fee via Venmo, PayPal or have a check in the mail within 15 days.
Once you are approved with our rescue, you can meet any one of our dogs within the fosters home. If you are interested in the dog you met, you can take the dog home under our mandatory foster to adopt program. You receive 5 days to see if the dog is the right fit for your home.
If it is, we will conduct the home visit and finalize adoption. If it is not, it is returned to the foster. We are happy to find you another dog that meets your needs in your home.
If a dog is listed as ADOPTION IN PROCESS, a family has met the dog and planning on adopting the dog after the home visit has been conducted. We always suggest sending in an application for a dog because there are times where the dogs are given back to us under the foster to adopt program. There are many reasons dogs are returned but normally it just was not the right fit for all.
