Meet Benji
Benji was previously adopted.
He does have a bite record.
At only 2 years of age, Benji is a young dog with a lot of love to give the right person. Benji is smart and independent, and not a barker. Benji is very cautious and chooses who he likes, and when he wants to play and receive affection. He does not like when people force themselves in his space. He will vocalize/ low growl/ give warning whenever he feels uncomfortable. He needs time to trust.
Benji does know simple commands and does well on walks. He will need an experienced dog savvy owner who is familiar with reading body language and willing to take the time to work with him. He is currently living in a facility with other dogs and is exposed to cats. He ignores cats and would prefer to be an only dog.
We know that the right home is out there for him and that he will be a great addition to a family who can give him the love and care he needs. Because of his bite record, we will not adopt him to a family with kids or exposure to kids.
