Benji's Story

Chihuahua mix, you say?!? Embark says I’m 2% chihuahua, but don’t hold it against me! <br/><br/>Hi, I’m Benji! <br/><br/>I’m about 4 years old, and if there’s one thing you should know about me, it’s that I LOVE my people. Being with my humans is my favorite place to be, and I have more than enough love to fill your whole heart — I promise to give it back to you tenfold.<br/><br/>I’m a happy, goofy guy who believes life is better when you’re having fun. I love playing fetch and tug, carrying around stuffed animals, going for short walks, riding in the car, relaxing on cozy couches, getting snuggles and generally finding ways to make my people smile. I’m also pretty talented at being completely ridiculous... including being upside down. <br/><br/>I’m happiest when I’m hanging out with my people, whether we’re playing, snuggling, relaxing, or just spending time together. I adore human company and can happily entertain myself at home while my person is at work, too, no problem.<br/><br/>I’m a young guy, but I do have some arthritis struggles, so I’ll need a family who understands that my body needs a little extra care. I’ll need regular veterinary care throughout my life, nutritious food, help maintaining a healthy weight, and gentle, light exercise to help keep me comfortable, active, and feeling my best. Short walks and playtime are perfect for me — I don’t need to be an athlete to be happy!<br/><br/>One important thing about me: I need to be your one-and-only pet. I have plenty of love to give and would be happiest being the only furry member of the family. In return, you’ll get a devoted companion who will happily make you the center of his world.<br/><br/>I’ve been waiting a very, very long time for my forever family. Green Heart Rescue pulled me from an overcrowded California shelter when I was facing an approaching euthanasia deadline, and I’ve been waiting ever since for someone to finally say, “You’re home.”<br/><br/>I don’t need a perfect family. I just need my family.<br/><br/>Someone who will love my goofy personality, appreciate my big heart, take care of my special needs, and let me be the happy, silly, affectionate boy I am.<br/><br/>Could that someone be you? <br/><br/>My favorites:<br/> People, people, and more people<br/> Fetch & tug<br/> Car rides<br/> Stuffed animals<br/> Short walks<br/> Cozy couches<br/> Snuggles<br/> Being goofy<br/> Being upside down<br/> Berry treats
