My story

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

Crazy little Benjamin belonged to an elderly lady who thought that food=love. Unfortunately she passed away and her family dumped him at the high kill shelter. Luckily for Benji, we were called and we litteraly ran to get him out of there. When we picked him up, we were shocked! He weighed 27 pounds. He could barely walk, he had fat rolls everywhere (pics on request) He was also scared out of his mind and hid under a table for 5 days. Poor baby was traumatized. One day he had a loving home, next day he was in a horrible place. So the process began, we got him some healthy food for overwight dogs and little by little, the pounds began to melt away. Once he became healthy and slim, we had his teeth cleaned and vaccined him. He is now ready for his forever home. As you can see in the video, he loves children. He is creat trained, heart worm negative, microchipped and ready for immedieate transport. Oh and by the way, he now weighs 15 pounds!!

PLEASE NOTE THAT WE ARE LOCATED IN TENNESSEE AND WE TRANSPORT OUR PETS TO YOUR AREA
