Description

Posted Breed: Miniature Pinscher / Chihuahua / Mixed (medium coat). Benji the Miniature Pinscher-Chihuahua mix Background Benji is a sweet and shy 4-year-old boy who was rescued from an overcrowded shelter in Arizona. He was found in a box with his two siblings, abandoned on the shelter's counter. After being rescued, Benji and his siblings were nurtured back to health in a foster home. With time, Benji has become more outgoing, enjoys going for walks, and is truly embracing life. However, he is still very shy around new people. Benji needs a person who understands rescued dogs and can provide him with patience, unconditional love, and understanding. From Benjis foster "Benji is a sensitive sweetheart who is still recovering from past trauma and is a little afraid of new situations. He is affectionate and will gently paw at you to ask for head massages and back scratches. Benji is a fast walker and could accompany a jogger on short distances. He has great energy and also loves his downtime, so he enjoys cuddling up next to you on the couch. He loves his toys and his foster family. Benji needs an adult-only home, without children, cats, or other small animals. Someone who works from home and has experience with rescued, fearful dogs would be ideal." Benji has been transitioned to a human-grade diet that avoids kibble in place of a healthy canine-specific feeding regimen. We will educate his adopters on proper diet and nutrition for her and her new buddies. To apply to adopt Benji he has a $595.00 adoption fee. All monies will be recycled to cover medical care and rescue more dogs. Please fill out the online application using this link.
