My story

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

Are you looking for a fun-loving and energetic pup who has a thirst for life? If so, Benji is your guy! Benji is a handsome 3-year-old non-shedding 19 lb Havanese/Lhasa Apso mix ready to meet his new family!

Mr. Benji loves going on walks, playing in the yard, and chilling out with his humans and foster siblings. Even though he would love to be a lap dog, Benji needs someone who will help him to maintain clear boundaries. He is house-trained, crate/puppy pen-trained, and sleeps quietly through the night in his crate.

Benji has learned a lot in terms of basic training, but he would still love to go to puppy classes with his new family. Training classes are a great way to bond, and he is a smart boy who thrives in a stimulating environment where he can learn new skills.

After getting to know Benji in foster, it is clear that he will do best in a household with strong human leaders. He will need someone who can provide him with consistent behavior expectations. If Benji sounds like he could be the perfect pup for you, please contact us!

Benji's Adoption fee is $300 and includes neuter, microchip, and current vaccinations.

Their adoption process

Additional adoption info

SPOT adopts puppies less than 1 year- $450, dogs 1-8 yr- $300, 9 yr- $200.
We ask you to complete an adoption application. A home check will be scheduled to be sure there are no inadvertent dangers in your home or yard. A meet and greet will be arranged so that your whole family can meet your new pet before adopting him/her. We want to make sure it is a good fit since it is a commitment for the animal’s lifetime.

Adoption application

Go meet their pets

All of the SPOT pets are in foster homes. To meet an animal, please fill out an adoption application by visiting our website at https://spotsavespets.org/ and clicking on "Applications". Someone will get in touch with you as soon as possible. We can also tell you when the next adoption event at a local pet store will be held, or we can set up a time to meet with you.

More about this rescue

SPOT was created to fill the need to save animals who “fall through the cracks” in our sheltering system. Local shelters are overwhelmed—they receive so many strays and owner turn-ins that they run out of space and have to kill thousands of animals each year. The majority of these animals are healthy and simply need to be placed into a home. Others are medical cases which require some work, but do not have life-threatening diseases or injuries. And a few have some moderate behavior issues; we work with specialists to correct these behaviors before finding them their forever home. The bottom line is SPOT can save these lives.
