Here's what the humans have to say about me:
Hi all, my name is Benji. I am a beautiful 1 yr old shepherd mix who was rescued after being beaten by a man in the streets Tehran. When my rescuer found me I was emaciated, terrified and had an badly injured front right paw. It had to be amputated but I don't miss it - I can run as fast and as far as any of my four legged companions (as you can see in the picture of me running in the snow). Snow is rare but not unheard of in Iran and this was my first experience with it. I loved it and didn't want to stop playing in it. How much fun would it be to get to play in this magical stuff all the time. I can't wait until someone in Canada decides to give me a chance at a new and wonderful life.
Cats are a lot of fun to chase so I wouldn't be very welcome in a home with these odd creatures. I am great and playful with every dog I meet so would be happy to have another dog in the home and a backyard we could race around in. I am very kind, considerate and respectful of other dogs and play gently with them. Although I do love to run, I am not a high energy dog so don't require tons of exercise. A couple of walks a day and play time in the yard is perfect for me.
One of the effects of my deprived life as a stray is poor teeth from a wholly inadequate diet and I have had several of them removed. But that doesn't impede my ability to eat in the least. In fact eating is another one of my favorite things to do. But more than anything else, more than snow, more than dog play, even more than chasing cats, I love being with people. Some may have hurt me but far more have helped me and treated me with love and tenderness. I know what it is like to be hurt so I am very appreciative of all kindnesses shown me. My gratitude to you for giving me a loving home will be absolute. I am neutered and up to date on my vaccinations. My adoption fee which includes my air transportation to Vancouver is $500.
