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

Hi there! I’m Benji, and I’m a lovable little guy!
Affection is the name of my game. I love snuggles and cuddles! I can be a little bit shy at first, but if you sit down, I’ll come curl up by your side. Once you earn my trust, I blossom like a flower and become extremely loving and protective. If we also get to play with a toy, I’ll amuse you with my playful antics.
I’m interested in meeting other dogs on leash and off, and am good with children. I have always lived with another dog and need a canine friend in my forever home. In my foster home, I sleep each night with a 13-year-old human. I haven’t met any cats so it’s unknown how I’d do with those new friends, but since I’m smaller than some cats, it could be an interesting experiment.
Good news, I’m almost 100% potty trained too! I’m happy going outside but if left at home for more than six hours, I’m good about using a puppy pee pad. Basically, I’m a well-adjusted cutie pie!
