Hi there! I’m Benji, and I'm the cuddliest little chihuahua you’ll ever meet. I’m here because I refused to give up: when I first came to rescue, I had pneumonia from an untreated infection, and I spent days in the hospital fighting for my life. But I wasn’t ready to go — I still had love to give. Today, I’m healing, happy, and so grateful just to wake up and feel the sun on my face. I’ll always need a little extra care, including daily medicine and regular vet visits to help my heart and breathing stay strong, but my medical history doesn't impact my day-to-day routine or my joy for life. What I need most is someone who will love me for the miracle that I am: I’ve already fought my hardest to survive, now I just need someone to help me live out my golden years.

My favorite place to be is curled up in someone’s lap, and if I could be snuggling with my humans 100% of the time, I would be!  Some of my best skills include curling up, making blanket nests, keeping the couch warm, and sleeping!

My foster mom says that one of the only things I don't like is a delay to my food schedule.  Ha! She's right though, I do prefer my meals to be timely and well-sized.  I also love snacks at any time of the day, and I'll never say no to a bone or chew.  When I'm not snoozing or snacking, I like to play fetch, and chew on my toys.

As far as exercise, short walks are my jam! I enjoy sniffing around the big wide world, and I'm good on leash.  I don't feel the need to go for miles though.  A quick loop around the block is good for me! If we're going to have an kind of extended adventure, I'd prefer that it involve a car or being carried. 

So, are you looking for a chihuahua-shaped shadow to keep the couch warm and be your best buddy? Then you need a Benji! Apply to adopt me today! 

Benji is on Vetmedin for a heart condition.
