Why I need a new home

Behavioral issues

My story

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


Benji is three years old and he is extremely loved. He came from an abusive household so he suffers from anxiety and is often in fight or flight mode. He is currently on two medications that keep him stable and I was in the process of seeing a vet therapist but the cost is not something I can sustain.

When is his calm, he is s such a lovable baby. I am seeking a home for him that has patience and the means to get him the proper care he needs. He had a pattern recently of being aggressive which makes it hard to host and look after him. He needs to see a specialist that can get him the right medications and also some more training/therapy wouldn't hurt.

Fee would cover his annual chip membership that was recently renewed and the associated cost with giving him up for adoption.
