Here's what the humans have to say about me:
Benji Magoo – Inspiration to all Underdogs, Snack Enthusiasts, and Dogs Who Are Just Trying Their Best
Occupation(s): Professional Shadow • Shower Lifeguard • Neighborhood Watch Intern Age: Young enough to cause chaos, old enough to know he shouldn’t, and bold enough to do it anyway.
Equal parts fuzzy charm and feral goblin energy, this spicy Shih Tzu operates on pure vibes, endless shenanigans, and zero regrets. He has a Tough Guy exterior, but a soft, snuggly center reserved for his chosen people. His attitude is as big as he is small, and his circle of trust is modest, but growing every day.
Magoo’s hobbies include acting as Resident Bouncer when visitors are at the door, supervising all bathroom activities, and learning from the resident dogs how to bark at pedestrians who have the audacity to mind their own business.
Magoo has also done wonderfully with his foster’s five-year-old niece, proving that while he may be a tiny bouncer at heart, he has a soft spot for gentle kiddos who offer good vibes and better treats.
Fun Fact: He was recently interviewed by a Newsweek reporter, so please address him with the respect befitting a media personality. He’s basically a celebrity now. Autographs available between 11:00am - 11:09am every other Thursday.
Personality: 10/10 Penchant for Criminal Activity: 7/10 Commitment to being adorable chaos: 100/10 Ego after the Newsweek interview: Off the charts
If you have experience with short kings who have big personalities and loud opinions, we welcome you to submit an inquiry to become Benji’s new sidekick by emailing his foster mom at maureen1188@gmail.com.
Benji Magoo is a special adoption; his new family will meet with a member of HRA’s behavior team to go over his unique personality, needs, and how to best support a tiny king with a limited field of vision but an unlimited capacity for love, snacks, and chaos.
