Say hello to Benji, an adorable Maltese mix who is ready to leave his difficult past behind and find a family to call his own. Benji was found wandering the streets and had a venereal tumour, but he has received treatment and is now healthy and ready for his next chapter. This little white sweetheart has so much love to give and is hoping his forever family is out there waiting for him.

Benji is playful, affectionate, and loves being the centre of attention. His favourite things include being petted, getting belly rubs, and spending time with his people. He is friendly with both men and women and gets along well with other dogs. Older children are recommended due to his small size. His compatibility with cats is currently unknown.

Benji has already overcome so much, and now it is his turn to experience the comfort, security, and unconditional love of a forever home. He is ready to trade life on the streets for cozy naps, happy walks, endless belly rubs, and a family who will cherish him. Could you be the one to give Benji the happy ending he deserves? If you are looking for a sweet, affectionate little companion who will fill your days with love and playfulness, Benji may be your perfect match. Please consider adopting Benji and give this deserving little boy the forever home he has been waiting for.
