Benji

Meet Benji, a tiny, amazing little dog who sees with his heart and loves with his whole soul!

Benji may not see with his eyes, but he has no trouble finding his way into your heart. This wonderful 18-month-old Shih Tzu mix weighs just 10 pounds, but his personality, courage, and sweetness are so much bigger than his size. He is truly amazing – gentle, loving, resilient, and full of quiet confidence. Benji lost his eyes due to an untreated disease before coming into care, but those painful days are behind him now. He has received veterinary treatment and is healthy, neutered, and microchipped, and he is ready for the beautiful life he always deserved. Benji does great in his foster home and gets along just wonderfully with everyone around him. He is good with other dogs, good with cats, and has a sweet, easygoing nature that makes him a joy to be near.

Ideal Home

Benji would do best with children over age 8 who understand how to be careful, gentle, and respectful around him. His perfect home will be one that treasures him for the incredible little dog he is. He would enjoy a calm, loving family, a steady routine, and people who will help him feel safe while still allowing him to enjoy life. A fenced yard and another kind dog would be wonderful to help him learn the ropes.

Ongoing Health

Benji's eyes were treated for an untreated disease and he is now healthy, neutered, and microchipped.
