Benji's Story

Hi there! I'm Benji, a young adult dog with lots of love to give. I am a very good boy who is friendly, affectionate, loyal, playful, smart, funny, and athletic. I love to run around and play fetch. I'm very good at it too! I am a herding breed, which means I need someone with breed experience who realizes that I need lots of exercise and mental stimulation. I am very smart and trained easily with consistency and positive reinforcement. I can be good with other dogs but our personalities need to match and of course, we need proper introductions. I would be the perfect companion for someone who is active and likes to spend lots of time outdoors. Maybe you could be the one to give me a forever home?<br/><br/>Visitors to the shelter are by appointment only and after a form has been submitted online:<br/><br/>https://www.marshmallowfoundation.org/forms/

Please double check your application before you submit to ensure that all sections are fully completed. -Once your application has been received and the process has started, someone from our team will contact you via phone, email or both to let you know where we are at in the process and what the next step(s) will be.
