About Benji

Our man Caesar has been working hard and now he is ready to find his new forever family. While he is small and extremely handsome, Benji will need an owner who is willing to put lots of time and training into earning his trust and learning his specific needs. Benji is an approximately 3-year-old Yorkie and weighs about 12 lb. He is neutered, crate- and house-trained, and walks well on a leash but is a high energy dog. In his short life, Benji has had some trauma that caused him to bite without provocation or warning and so he wound up in the shelter. Our dedicated foster home has gotten Benji some surgery that was needed to solve a medical issue. The pain he was in may have been at the root of Benji's biting. But once a dog is a biter, the behavior can always resurface. Through training we have learned to manage it. Because of this Benji needs the following very specific traits in a new owner: ��%BD��%BD%BD��%BD��%BD%BD%BD'��%BD��%BD%BD Adopter MUST be within an hour or two of Greer SC area. ��%BD��%BD%BD��%BD��%BD%BD%BD'��%BD��%BD%BD New home must have no kids under 12. ��%BD��%BD%BD��%BD��%BD%BD%BD'��%BD��%BD%BD New adoptive home can have dogs, but they must not be submissive dogs as Benji may bully them if they allow it. NO PUPPIES! ��%BD��%BD%BD��%BD��%BD%BD%BD'��%BD��%BD%BD Adopter MUST agree to training for Benji, and an initial session with our trainer and his foster will be included in his adoption. ��%BD��%BD%BD��%BD��%BD%BD%BD'��%BD��%BD%BD Adopter must be active and willing to take Benji on walks and keep him engaged, as this will assist in him growing to trust and find his role in his new home. It may be a big ask, but we KNOW the perfect person for Benji is out there! And with a face as cute as this he is sure to catch the eye of the human meant to be his forever match! Benji is being fostered in Greer SC.
