Benji - Shih Tzu and Mixed Breed Dog for Adoption in Portage, Michigan

Hi I'm Benji! I'm a senior dog with exactly one speed. It would be generous to call it meandering. But slow and steady wins the race!
My favorite passtime is curling up on the sofa (its definitely my couch!) and sleeping.
I'm house broken. But I'm more used to walks so if you just put me out in the yard I might forget what I'm supposed to be doing.
I'm easy going and generally ignore other dogs and cats. As long as they're willing to leave me alone I'm happy to live and let live. Ideally I wouldn't be around small children as I can be reactive when people mess with my face and ears.
So if you want a dog that enjoys restful days and the slower things in life I'm your Huckleberry! I look forward to meeting you. P.S. bring treats!

The mixed breed dogs, often referred to as mutts, are a diverse and unique group with a blend of different characteristics from various purebred dog breeds. These dogs come from a mixture of lineages, resulting in a wide range of sizes, coat types, and temperaments. While each mixed breed dog is distinct in its own right, they are known for their resilience, adaptability, and often have fewer health issues compared to purebred dogs due to their genetic diversity. Mixed breed dogs make wonderful companions for families looking for a loyal and one-of-a-kind pet.
