Benji's Story

Hi, I'm Benji! I'm only around 30-35lbs and at 2 years old, I'm not expected to get much bigger. I've had a rough start t life. <br/><br/>Here's my story: A Special Dog Who Deserves a Loving Home;<br/>Benji was found wandering the streets with a rope around his neck. Perhaps he had escaped from a very abusive situation. Unfortunately, the rope had become deeply embedded in his neck, causing a serious infection. The veterinarians even used laser treatments to help heal his wound.<br/><br/>Benji is shy at first because of the abuse and trauma he may have experienced. Initially, he may seem timid and might growl out of fear, but he is absolutely adorable once you give him love, patience, and understanding. He has never bitten anyone. He simply needs love and someone willing to give him the time and patience he deserves.<br/><br/>His neck will always show a scar, a reminder of everything he endured while fighting to survive on the streets. He has been through so much. <br/><br/>Benji also does not know how to walk with a harness or leash. Because of what happened to his neck, he is frightened of them, and he will need patience and gentle guidance. Please give Benji a chance. He has already suffered enough. All he needs now is love, patience, and a family who will never hurt him again.
