Story
11.5 years old? BENJI clearly missed the memo that he’s supposed to be slowing down!Benji is an adorable little Mini Poodle / mix with the confidence of a dog who has been around the block a time or two and knows exactly what he wants out of life - and what he wants most is his people! This sweet senior bonds fast and hard, and once Benji decides you’re his person, he’d prefer to be wherever you are. Cleaning the garage? He’ll supervise. Relaxing on the porch? He’ll happily hang out at your feet. Heading out for a walk? Those little poodle paws are ready to GO!Despite being 11.5 years old, Benji still has plenty of pep in his step! He’s quick on his feet, loves getting out and exploring, and has the absolute cutest habit of waving his little poodle paws in the air when he’s excited to see you. At the same time, he’s perfectly content settling in and enjoying the quieter parts of the day. He’s a wonderful combination of happy, confident, social, and easygoing.Benji is currently living in a foster home where he has been exposed to quite the crew! He has done well around dogs, a farm cat, horses, and plenty of everyday activity without much fazing him. We believe Benji may do well living with other animals as long as proper, slow introductions are performed! That being said, he can occasionally be a little “much” for another dog, so any canine companions should be confident, well-socialized, and comfortable sharing their space with his larger-than-life little personality.While Benji certainly prefers being with his people, he is able to settle in a crate after some time. Just don`t expect him to snooze through your return - the second you`re back, he`s on his feet and ready to see his favorite person!Benji may technically qualify as a senior, but don`t count this little guy out because of his age. He still has so much personality, companionship, and love to give! He’s simply looking for someone who appreciates a confident little sidekick who wants to be included in whatever the day brings.Benji is neutered, microchipped, up-to-date on vaccinations, heartworm negative, and current on flea/tick & heartworm preventatives.Benji has been around the block... now he’s just looking for the person he gets to walk the rest of it with!
