Benji Basenji & Chihuahua Mix Springfield, MO

Top o' the mornin', to ya! My name... is Benji!

I am looker of a lad who is a merry little mix of Basenji and Chihuahua. At 1 and a half years old, I'm lanky and lean, weighing in at a pint-sized 23 lbs!

I am a bashful little shamrock at first, but within a few minutes I'm your lucky charm! :) I am a silly and smart little marshmallow who has a whole pot of golden love to give to my forever family.

My foster mom says I'm a cat in a dog-suit; I love to rub against your legs and stare up at your with my big Irish brown eyes, and curl up in a ball like a fuzzy head of cabbage under your arm for a cozy movie at bedtime!

I've also got a lot of brains between these bat ears! I'm a GENIUS of a boy with manners to spare. I'm sweet and relaxed for outings to Cherry Picker, and I know "sit", "kennel", and "down" like the back of my paw. I'm great with other dogs, respectful and curious about cats, and great with respectful children. I am an angel in my kennel, potty-trained, and great on my leash, too - though I can sometimes zig-zag if I catch a whiff of a four-leaf-clover :)

My future fortune could be anywhere that my people are. I could do well in an apartment or house setting, as long as I get enough exercise, but prefer for my humans to be home more often than not.

So... whaddya say, fur-ever?! Are you waiting for me at the end of my rescue rainbow?
