Benji the dachshund might be your perfect match. Benji is an extremely affectionate little guy who is about 5 years old and weighs 9 lbs. With his beautiful golden honey coat and tender personality, he’s a dachshund who lives for love and attention. He was surrendered to Little Paws and is now searching for his forever home—together with his bonded buddy Max. Environment Benji is a high-energy pup who needs daily walks and playtime to stay happy and healthy. He loves his walks and is great on leash, making him a wonderful adventure companion. While he’d enjoy a fenced yard to romp around in, it’s not a dealbreaker. Benji is being potty trained in foster care and is a quick learner. He prefers to stays in a pen rather than a crate when left alone. Benji does have separation anxiety and can’t be left alone for long periods, but the good news is when he’s with Max, they keep each other calm and content. He’s not overly noisy, so he’ll do fine in a home with shared walls. Pets & People Benji is extremely sweet with people and will quickly attach himself to his humans. He loves nothing more than curling up in your lap and falling asleep, and he’ll roll over for belly rubs at every opportunity. He’s very friendly with strangers and gets along well with other dogs too. However, Benji does have some food and toy resource guarding, likely because he appears to have been starved before coming into rescue—he’s quite thin and always hungry. He’ll need to eat separately from other dogs and an adopter should be aware he will eat anything within reach. Benji is completely devoted to Max—he grooms and licks him frequently, seeks his company constantly, and they snuggle together to sleep. They truly are two peas in a pod and must stay together. Health He has a quirk where he cries out when being petted, almost as if he can’t get enough affection—it’s endearing but worth noting! Benji needs physical exercise and mental stimulation. Location Benji is available for adoption from Miami, FL and he did great on a 40-minute car ride, so he’s happy to travel to meet his new family, within reason from South Florida.
