Benji's Story

Hi, I'm Benji<br/>Basenji | Young | Male | Medium<br/><br/>About Me<br/>Just like Higgins, the first dog to play “Benji” on the 1960’s TV show “Petticoat Junction,” this sweet “Benji” was found wandering by himself before getting his second chance. Today, he is a healthy, happy and cuddly dog who is well behaved, “lives to eat” and “sings” for his breakfast and supper!! <br/><br/>Benji enjoys going outside and would be best matched with a family or a single “best buddy” who is home most of the time and can accommodate his need for frequent potty and exercise breaks. Benji is a little wary of strangers but will warm up quickly once he sees that his new friend is trustworthy and kind. Then he will be 100% devoted to you.<br/><br/>My Profile<br/>Age: 2 yrs<br/>Weight: 30 lbs<br/>Good with kids: Yes, kids over 5<br/>Good with dogs: With Proper Intro<br/>Good with cats: No<br/>Fenced yard: Yes<br/>Suitable for townhouse and/or apartment: No<br/>House trained: Yes.<br/>Crate trained: Yes<br/>Barks when left alone: No<br/>Chews inappropriate items: Occasionally<br/>Activity level: Low-Medium<br/><br/>Meet Me<br/>If you are interested in Benji, consider letting us know by filling out a (no-obligation) adoption application at pgspca.org/adopt.
