Story
Somewhere along the way, this handsome little guy found himself alone. Sundance came to BENCHS as an unclaimed rural stray, and while we'll never know if he wandered away from home or was left behind, we do know he's ready for a fresh start with someone who will never let him wonder where he belongs again.
At around 4 years old and weighing just under 15 pounds, Sundance is a confident little dog with a big personality. Based on his size, weight, and physical features, our best guess is that he's a Jack Russell Terrier/Chihuahua mix, though that's only an educated guess. He enjoys affection, especially when it's on his terms, and he's mastered the art of hopping right into your lap when you're sitting down. While he isn't interested in treats or toys, he'll happily soak up your love and attention. He's also the perfect little office companion and is happiest curled up on a cozy dog bed while you work nearby.
Sundance may give an alarm bark when new people arrive or when he hears someone at the door, but once he's settled, he's an independent companion who enjoys simply being near his people.
When Sundance arrived at BENCHS, he had noticeable hair loss on the lower half of his body. Our veterinary team is still working to determine the cause, including whether allergies may be playing a role. He's otherwise feeling good and is looking forward to finding a family that will continue helping him look and feel his best.
Because Sundance came to us as a stray, we don't know much about his life before arriving at BENCHS. We are unsure how he gets along with other dogs, cats, or children, so any introductions to resident pets should be done slowly and thoughtfully.
Because of his history as a stray, Sundance's ideal home is one where he can safely enjoy life as an indoor dog with secure management, whether that's a fenced yard, leashed walks, or both. We want to make sure this little adventurer never has to face the world alone again.
If you're looking for a loyal little companion who values quiet affection, confidence, and cozy lap time, Sundance might just be your perfect match.
