My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:
Benito is a chihuahua terrier mix found as a stray in homestead. So many dogs are being abandoned it is a sad situation for the many dogs left homeless. Benny is so sweet and just wanted a warm place to sleep. He is about a year old if that. Male. Neutered. Vaccinated. Dewormed. He will stay small and is a perfect size for travel shopping or lapdog companion. Would be a great therapy dog for an elderly person. Studies show that people with dogs live longer. Start 2012 off right and do something good for yourself and for a homeless dog.
Benito is in a foster home with a family and other dogs. He plays with all the dogs. Benito is a lap dog. A note from his foster mom Nora - When I sit, he cuddles next to Nick, Elizabeth or myself. He is not a stay outside alone dog. Also, he does not like the bigger dogs and has some fear of them. He is a perfect inside dog and comes when called. Adopt.
