Story
Hi, I’m Benji! Yes, like that Benji… loyal, lovable, and always ready for my next adventure. I’m a 4½-year-old Goldendoodle weighing in at 65 pounds of fluff, fun, and heart. I’ve perfected the art of being your shadow (I consider it a full-time job), and I’m happiest with my toys and when I’m near my people, soaking up every moment of togetherness. I may not star in movies, but I promise I bring just as much charm — and maybe even better cuddles.
Favorite Things: Toys are Benji’s absolute love language — the more, the merrier — and he has a charming way of turning even the simplest playtime into a full production. He’s equally enthusiastic about car rides, happily hopping in for any adventure, big or small. While he enjoys activity, he doesn’t need constant motion; he’s just as content settling in for cozy moments, especially if that includes snuggling close.
Training and Manners: Benji is house trained when let out regularly and has solid foundational manners that make him an easy companion in the home. He walks nicely on a leash, settles well into daily routines, and enjoys being part of the family at bedtime, happily snoozing alongside his people.
Health and Care: Benji is neutered, microchipped, and up to date on vaccines. He receives monthly heartworm, flea, and tick prevention, just like all other dogs. His beautiful coat will need regular professional grooming every 4–6 weeks to keep him looking and feeling his best.
Other Animals: Benji has a wonderfully easygoing approach to other animals. He tends to mind his own business around other dogs and has experience living with cats, showing respectful and calm interactions. His adaptable nature allows him to fit into a variety of multi-pet households with ease.
Children: Benji adores being around kids and has shown that he enjoys their presence and energy. Because of his playful enthusiasm and larger size, he does best with slightly older (8+), more sturdy children who can match his spirited personality.
Ideal Home: Benji is looking for a single-family home with a securely fenced yard where he can safely stretch his legs, explore, and enjoy the outdoors. He thrives in a home where people are around often, as companionship is one of the most important parts of his world. Social, affectionate, and deeply people-oriented, Benji loves being included in everyday routines as well as special outings and adventures. Because he forms strong bonds and feels most secure near his family, he’ll do best in a home where he isn’t left alone for long stretches of time.
Overall: Benji is the kind of dog who brings warmth, laughter, and heart into a home from the very start. True to his famous name, he has that classic “hero dog” spirit — loyal, loving, and always ready to be close to the people he adores. He combines affection, intelligence, and a playful streak that makes life with him both joyful and deeply rewarding. Whether he’s trotting by your side, proudly carrying around a toy, or curling up nearby at the end of the day, Benji has a special way of making every moment feel a little sweeter. He isn’t just looking for a place to live — he’s looking for a true connection, and when he finds his people, he’ll give them his whole heart.
If Benji sounds like your kind of dog, visit PPR at poodleandpoochrescue.org and fill out an application. If it seems like a good fit, his foster parents will reach out. His adoption donation is $400.
