My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Benji is a little character of a dog. He is approximately 9 years old, although you wouldn't believe it, and he weighs about 21 lbs. He has a lovely, partly silky coat with blond highlights, including a mini Mohawk, and he sports different colored eyes.

Benji is a cheerful, friendly soul. When Dusty paws volunteers pulled him after a month's stay at a local shelter, he went with them willingly and fearlessly, enjoying a car ride to his foster home and settling in easily as soon as he got there. He is currently fostering with another, larger dog (ChiChi) and seems happy to have her company. We think Benji is very adaptable.

His foster parents note Benji is a great lap dog and expert cuddler. He is good in the home - house trained, crate trained, and can be left alone. His coat barely sheds. True to his main breed Benji will bark, although not aggressively. In the home he will announce visitors when the doorbell rings. Other than that only normal vocalizing in the home, more when outside in the yard. He is good with men, women and children, and with most dogs. We don't know how he is with cats.
