My story

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

Ben, Benji, Bubba, Benny, Benito… We have so many names of endearment for this precious boy. Meet Benjamin, a ten-year-old Yorkie mix hailing from Austin Animal Center. You’d never know from looking at his picture but he has made quite a transformation thanks to our friends over at wash-shake-wag. When this doggy arrived at our clinic, his fur was sadly covered in burrs, mats and dirt. We made a quick call and they cleaned him right up! Benjamin’s story is somewhat of a mystery. He arrived in rough shape, but his demeanor suggests that he must have had a loving family at some point in his life. This pup is easygoing, friendly and sprightly for his age. He enjoys being around people and makes for a quiet, loving desk buddy. Benjamin also walks well on his leash and appears to be potty trained. He is a good boy who would greatly appreciate a comfortable home in which he can live out the rest of his days. If you’re in the market for a pup with some life experience, adopt this sweet senior!
