Hi there! I’m Benji, and I'm the the cuddliest little chihuahua you’ll ever meet!. 

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. 

I’m a pup who would love to have one special buddy.  I don’t need a huge pack, or a lot of doggy siblings running around.  I’m a friendly guy, and I like to sniff hello with other dogs when I’m out on a walk.  Aside from that though, I’m not really a dogs dog.  I’m really all about my humans!

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.
