Male Dog aged 7 years.
Meet Benji, a distinguished 7.5-year-old Chorgi-ish mix, with a heart of absolute gold—he just likes to make you earn it.
Benji is the ultimate "slow burn" companion. While he tends to prefer the company of women, he likes to take his time getting to know anyone new. But patience pays off in a big way: once Benji decides you're his person, he transforms into a devoted, full-on Velcro dog who will stick by your side through thick and thin. Because he loves so hard, he can be a bit of an affectionate monopolist who doesn't like to share his favorite human—so his next person will need to help him learn a healthy sense of sharing and personal space.
On the social front, Benji gets along great with other dogs his size and is especially fond of small female dogs. He's also totally fine sharing his space with cats.
At just $40, his adoption fee is a steal, but his true currency is time. Benji is looking for an experienced, patient adopter who is ready to give him the gentle runway he needs to settle in, build trust, and learn that love doesn't mean gatekeeping. If you're looking for a loyal, pint-sized shadow and have the patience to help him shine, Benji is ready to be your lifelong best friend.
