He isn’t crate trained but does well relaxing on his own. While he enjoys toys from time to time, his favorite things are treats, being outdoors, cuddling, and soaking up love from his people.<br/><br/>Young children can make Benji a bit anxious with their sudden movements, he would thrive in an adult-only home or with older kids who understand how to respect a dog’s boundaries. He also needs to be the only pet, as he doesn’t get along with other dogs or cats. With the right home, Benji will be a deeply loyal and affectionate companion who is always ready to snuggle, keep you company, and bring joy to your days.Benji is a wonderful, affectionate dog who just needs the right match to feel safe, happy, and adored.
