Benji's Story

The Great Doggo Split<br/>DOB: 10/05/2018<br/>Once upon a time in a bustling shelter, two Jack Russell Terriers named Bear and Benji lived a life filled with tail wags, mischief, and more than a few shenanigans. These two were the ultimate dynamic duo—think Batman and Robin, but with more fur and less crime-fighting. Bear, the larger of the two, had a flair for the dramatic, while Benji was the sweet, lovable sidekick who adored his brother and often found himself swept up in Bear's antics.<br/><br/>After years of waiting for their forever homes, the staff at the shelter decided it was time for a big change. They sat Bear and Benji down for "the talk." You know the one: "Boys, you’re great together, but you might actually be too much together." Bear looked at Benji, and Benji looked at Bear. They knew this day would come—the day they’d be set free, but possibly in different directions.<br/><br/>“I’m not saying we’re bad,” Bear said, licking his paw with all the confidence of a pup who had just stolen a whole steak off the kitchen counter. “I’m saying we’re… misunderstood. Right, Benji?”<br/><br/>“Misunderstood?” Benji echoed, a plush, stuffing-free toy hanging from his mouth like a bizarre trophy.<br/><br/>With that, Bear puffed out his chest. “We bring excitement! We’re like a rollercoaster! A thrilling ride of barks and zoomies! Plus, who doesn’t love a good game of tug-of-war that ends with us accidentally unrolling the entire toilet paper roll?”<br/><br/>Benji nodded, recalling the glory of that epic mess. But deep down, he started to feel that maybe a little independence could be good for them. After all, he was the good-natured one—the model citizen who walked well on a leash, kept his kennel tidy, and had a soft spot for chewing on bones rather than stuffing-filled toys. Meanwhile, Bear’s enthusiasm sometimes turned their adventures into all-out doggy disasters.<br/><br/>One sunny afternoon, after several rounds of heartwarming howls and wild wrestling matches, they finally agreed: “Alright, let’s give each other a chance to shine on our own!” It was a bittersweet decision, but the promise of loving homes was too enticing to ignore.<br/><br/>So, with his tail wagging and heart racing, Benji is ready to strut his stuff for potential adopters.<br/><br/>Meet Benji: 1322 DAYS and Counting with us!<br/>Disposition: True to the Jack Russell temperament<br/>No other animals: Benji needs a home where he is the sole focus.<br/>No children under 10: His environment should be calm and without young kids.<br/>Love for belly rubs and food: Benji enjoys affection and treats.<br/><br/>Our adoption package includes:<br/>spay/neuter (when age appropriate)<br/>microchip<br/>full vetting (including up to date vaccinations & deworming)
