Look at this little shaggy boy! His name is Benji. He is a wire haired terrier mix at about 10 pounds. He's about a year old. Benji is what we call one of our "harder to adopt" cases. He needs someone with patience and understanding who can devote some time to bringing him out of his shell. Benji came in from a hoarding case back in April of this year with 14 other dogs all similar to him. They were all petrified when they came in and all took time to begin to come out of their shells. Most have since been adopted but we still have a few left, Benji being one of them. He has never let his foster mom actually pet him. He will come up and take food and treats and will follow her around right at her feet but when you try to touch him he runs. We have held off on posting him up for adoption as he would be hard to show to people when we cant even get a leash or collar on him. However, his foster mom saw a little miracle happen so we decided to start letting people know he is up for adoption. Benji has suddenly decided to let the foster mom's husband pet him! He goes directly to him and sits by him like he's known him for years! So it just may be that Benji is more comfortable with a man than a woman. He will still need a lot of work, time and patience but we now see that he has made a big step and just might be ready to make even more progress!! If you think you might be up for the challenge and you have the time to put into this little dude please reach out to us at clawsadopt@yahoo.com.
A quieter household and no children may be best for him.
Thank you!
