Arrived April 21st – Maltese Mix/Maltipoo – White – Male – Approx. 8 years old – 9.6 lbs – Neutered – Up to date on vaccines – Heartworm negative

Meet Benji — a sweet, fluffy, and absolutely adorable white Maltipoo with the most soulful dark eyes and a gentle spirit that will melt your heart completely. This precious little gentleman arrived at the shelter on April 21st after his owner went to the hospital and was unable to come back for him — a heartbreaking situation for everyone involved, and through no fault of his own this sweet boy now finds himself waiting in Kennel #204 for a new person to love him the way he so deserves.
 
Benji sits beautifully for his treats — and despite not having many teeth, those treats disappear with impressive speed and enthusiasm that will make you smile every single time. He lets you know loud and clear when he needs to go outside, which means this little guy is essentially already doing half the work for you. At 8 years old he is a mature and settled gentleman who knows exactly what he wants and is not shy about asking for it — and there is something absolutely wonderful about that.
 
At just under 10 pounds Benji is a perfectly portable little companion who was made for cozy laps, gentle walks, and being loved unconditionally by someone who will never leave him wondering where he belongs. He is already neutered, heartworm negative, and up to date on all of his vaccines — ready for the warm and loving home he so deeply deserves.
 
This dapper little gentleman in his red tie has already been through more than any sweet older dog should ever have to face. If you have room in your heart and your home for one of the most deserving little souls at this shelter, please come meet Benji in Kennel #204. He is ready for his person — and all he needs is for that person to come find him.
