Benjamin's Story

This precious 2-year-old Yorkie mix weighs just 7 pounds, but his sweet heart is full of love. 💕<br/><br/>He’s a shy and timid little guy, especially in new environments, and can be easily frightened. He also seems to initially be scared of men, so maybe a women only where we could be the only dog, might be perfect for him. Because of this, he may show some guarding tendencies at times. For his safety and comfort, we recommend a home with a secure, fenced-in yard for potty time so he won’t get startled and try to run away.<br/><br/>Once he feels safe, he becomes your loyal little shadow, happily following you from room to room. He forms strong bonds with his people and truly thrives in a calm, patient home where he can build confidence at his own pace.<br/><br/>He absolutely loves to eat (treats are the way to his heart! 😄) and does well with other dogs. In fact, a gentle canine companion could help him continue to grow more confident.<br/><br/>This tiny boy is looking for a quiet, understanding family who will give him the time, reassurance, and security he needs. In return, you’ll gain a devoted little companion who will stay right by your side. 💗🐾<br/><br/>Application Link: https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSf36Pteqr4fDg6XmKwhb4MKr5E-PvPNNvdaqaDYIJ3YElnnHQ/viewform
