About BENJI

Benji has given his heart, his trust, and his fierce loyalty to his family-only to find himself abandoned in a shelter becuse his parent sid she's pregnant. He was their protector, their shadow, their devoted companion through every moment of their lives for 5 long years. This sweet boy never asked for much, only to be close to his people, to lay on a soft towel at night, and to clutch his beloved teddy bears for comfort. Now, he waits, confused and alone, longing for a new family who will truly cherish him. Worse? He's sick with the dreaded shelter cold and he could easily have it morph into pneumonia because he is not eating so not getting his pills! Despite his rough exterior, Benji is a dog who loves deeply. He knows the words for food, water, and home. He watches over the women in his life with unwavering devotion and makes sure his family is safe from harm. He may be anxious, but that only proves how much he cares-how desperately he wants to belong. He is playful, bright, and eager to please. He just needs patience, understanding, and the love he has given so freely to be returned to him. Please, don't let Benji spend another night without a family. His heart has been broken, but you can mend it. Give him the forever home he deserves-where his loyalty will finally be honored, his quirks will be adored, and his unwavering love will be met with the same in return. He's waiting for you. He has only 48 hours left to live. What my friends at ACC say about me: I have medical needs that staff will address with you when you meet me.
