My personality

My story

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

Meet Benji!
Benji is a 2-year-old, 19 lb scruffy little heart-melter from the Rio Grande Valley. He is both heartworm negative and Chagas negative, and he came to Tracy’s Paws after being rescued from a cruelty case in Weslaco, Texas.

Despite his rough start, Benji has the sweetest spirit. He adores people... and other dogs - especially the ladies...and loves nothing more than gentle head scratches and being doted on.

He can be a bit selective with his male dog friends, but with humans he is all love, affection, and gratitude.
Benji is a wonderful little dog who deserves a safe, loving home of his own.
If you think he might be your perfect match, we’d love for you to apply. Bemji is also available for transport to St. Petersburg, FL on February 21, 2026 with an approved application. Adoption fee is $450 which includes the transport.

Every dog adopted through Tracy’s Paws receives:
• Chagas, heartworm, and tick testing (when age-appropriate)
• All core vaccines (age-appropriate)
• Heartworm and flea/tick preventatives
• Regular Deworming
• Spay/neuter surgery
• Microchip


Breed listings are our best guess, based on appearance.
