Benji's Story

Home is something Benji remembers... and hopes to find again.<br/><br/>Benji once had a family, and shelter life has been a hard adjustment. He takes a little time to warm up, but once he knows you're kind, he enjoys leash walks, quiet time outside his kennel, and being with the people he trusts.<br/><br/>Because sudden approaches can scare him, Benji needs someone patient who will let him move at his own pace. Give him a little time, and you'll discover a loyal friend who just wants to feel safe and loved again.<br/><br/>**Sometimes the dogs that take the longest to trust become the ones who love the deepest.**

According to the Human Society of the United States, six to eight million dogs and cats enter shelters each year, and out of those, three to four million are euthanised. View source There are simply too many animals. Why? Unwanted litters due to a failure to spay or neuter, backyard breeders, and puppy mills. Why are so many of these animals unwanted?
