SPECIAL SHARPEI BREED SAVVY FAMILY!

BENJI - 6 years old, 40 pounds, house trained, needs time to warm up to you

Benji is a super cute boy with all the sharpei wrinkles you could ask for.

He was surrendered for showing the typical Sharpei breed traits.

He has a bit of a rap sheet in his previous home so we are looking for a special new family who is Sharpei breed savvy.

Benji needs someone willing and able to work with him on certain things including resource guarding toys, food, his bed and owner.

Benji is house trained but he might have an accident overnight or when left alone.

He loves going for walks and knows some commands.

He is scared of thunderstorms and fireworks.

Benji is otherwise a cuddly and playful boy when he is comfortable and knows you.

Benji is currently in a back kennel so come in and just ask to meet him!
