Benji's Story

Lea, who has a Senior Sanctuary, was asked by a local shelter to take Benji because he was emaciated and the shelter thought he was dying ..his organs were shutting down. A few months later in Lea's care.. he has gained weight and his bloodwork is perfect. He was obviously being starved , so now he will guard food from other dogs for that reason. You certainly can't blame him for that! Older children that will understand the guarding issue only probably would be fine. He is very affectionate and loves attention. Benji is 13 lbs and 6 yrs old. He loves to play with other dogs, and will needs a yard with a secure 5' fence minimum. Yes this little man can jump high and has already jumped a 4' gate....so again 5' fence minimum<br/><br/>Please go to the link to fill our our adoption application. https://www.remembermerescueny.net/adoption-application Remember Me Rescue does not adopt out of the local area, no transport is available. We adopt to Long Island, Westchester, NYC area and parts of Connecticut only.<br/><br/>Also, we have a very high volume of applications and we are all volunteers. We cannot respond to every application personally. Please make sure your application gives us a good picture of your family and the life you plan on providing a dog from our rescue. We choose a home based on the BEST FIT for EACH dog and approve on a dog by dog basis. Thank you!
