Hi, I’m Benji! I’m almost 6 years old and I’m a Boston terrier frenchie mix!! I have a lot of love to give. After a day of play I love to cuddle up in bed with my humans. I am very loyal and house trained. Being in a home where I am the only animal will suit me best.

Kashi belongs to my younger sister. She raised it but the dog grew very bored in a small one bedroom apartment. He needs a bigger space with someone willing to put in the work to training him. As long as he is used to someone he is very friendly. He is very smart and loves to play play play.

Story
Stella is a wonderful dog who simply needs a home that is a better fit for her needs. We believe she would do best as the only dog in the household, possibly with a single person or a family where she can receive all of the attention she craves. She is incredibly affectionate, loves to cuddle, and is a true lap dog. Stella enjoys being close to her people and thrives on companionship. She is also a good watchdog and will bark to alert you when someone is outside. Stella is very cute, loving, and has many great qualities. Unfortunately, despite our best efforts, she has not adjusted well to living with our younger dog, Cooper, and the situation has become increasingly difficult for both dogs. We feel that finding Stella a home where she can be the only pet will give her the best opportunity to succeed and be happy. This is a very difficult decision because Stella is a good dog who deserves a loving home. We are hoping to find the right person who can give her the attention she deserves
