Benji the Italian Greyhound mix
Background
Benji is the brother of Ruby and Pumpkin the bonded sisters.The 3 siblings were rescued from a Flagstaff Human Society, a place that is no-kill but had become overrun with dogs and was threatening the ability to remain a No-kill facility. 28 dogs were pulled and brought to Washington to release some pressure for the shelter. Benji was supposed to be with his siblings on that trip but became ill (Pneumonia) and was unable to travel. His foster flew all the way to flagstaff when he was recovered and got him out. Benji is up to date, neutered, and in need of a loving home
From Benjis foster
Benji is a tender sweetheart who is still recovering from past trauma and is a little afraid of new circumstances. He is affectionate and will gently paw at you to keep up the head massages and back scratches. Benji is a fast walker and could accompany a jogger on small distances. He has great energy and also loves his downtime so he can cuddle up next to you on the couch. He loves his toys and loves his fosters. Benji needs an adult-only home. No children and no cats or other small animals. someone who works from home would be great and who has experience with rescued, fearful dogs.
Benji has been transitioned to a human-grade diet that avoids kibble in place of a healthy canine-specific feeding regimen. We will educate his adopters on proper diet and nutrition for her and her new buddies. To apply to adopt Benji he has a $595.00 adoption fee. All monies will be recycled to cover medical care and rescue more dogs. Please fill out the online application using this link. Please be thorough in your answers and expound whenever possible so we get to know you and can make the best match.
