Benji

Benji is currently settling better in a quieter part of site in one of our off view kennels as he can struggle with the hustle and bustle of centre life. He has struggled to settle enough to show us his playful side yet and can be quite vigilant out on walks, but hopefully given the time to settle in a quiet home he will be able to relax and his true character can start to shine through. Benji was previously living in a house with multiple other dogs who did not get on. Because of this he can become quite vocal and frustrated when he sees other dogs, however he has been able to walk alongside some calm and quiet dogs. He would benefit from continued slow and careful socialisation, but this should be done by adults only and following guidance from our training and behaviour team to set him up for the best chance of success. Benji would love a calm and quiet home where he can settle in and finally enjoy some of life's little luxuries. Benji is looking for a home where he can be the only pet and where any children are of high school age. He will need somebody at home for most of the day to help him with some house training and basic training. Benji will need adopters who are willing to visit him here at the centre a few times to build a bond before going home. Benji is somewhat of an escape artist so he will a need a very secure garden, as he will find little holes to escape through, and potentially a baby gate to keep him away from the front door! Benji came to us quite underweight and with his skin in very poor condition so is currently on extra meals and medicated baths which may need to be continued.
