Benji - Shih Tzu Dog for Adoption in Inglewood, California

Benji is a 2 year old Shih Tzu with a happy, social personality and a playful streak that shows up the moment he feels comfortable.

Found as a stray in Lynwood by a Good Samaritan, Benji has adjusted quickly to the comforts of indoor life and enjoys being around people and other dogs. He is good with kids, dog-friendly, and eager to be part of whatever is going on.

Benji's favorite activities include playing with toys-especially anything he can proudly parade around or gently toss for himself-along with short, curious walks where he can take in all the smells. He also enjoys following his people from room to room, light zoomies when he gets excited, and settling down close by once he's done playing.

With his mix of playful energy and easygoing companionship, Benji fits well into a home looking for a small dog who can switch between fun and cuddle mode throughout the day.
