Benji is the sweetest dog with the biggest heart who, even after everything he’s been through, still has such a positive energy and zest for life. Benji originally came to us from a breeder at the beginning of 2025 - a scared boy who didn’t really want a lot to do with humans. He got adopted shortly after he arrived and gained a lot of confidence and learnt so much during this time, however he could not settle with the man in his new home and had to come back to us at the rescue. We could all see the positive changes in him immediately on his return, and he definitely wasn’t the scared boy we once knew.

He was then adopted once more and found another wonderful home, but sadly his adopter became unwell and he was returned to our care once more. We were told he learnt how to trust and love his adopted mum very quickly, and soon became an extremely loving and affectionate little man. This has continued during his time back at the rescue and now all of the staff that work with him are very fond of him and his loving ways.

Benji is looking for his forever home again, with adopters who will be totally understanding and work with him through any worries he may have. He would prefer to be adopted into a female only home and he will need a kind resident dog who will be his guide and his cuddle buddy, and no children as this would be too overwhelming for him.

Benji isn’t the biggest fan of walks, so he definitely won’t need an active home by any means, but he would appreciate a nice garden to mooch around in, and maybe some short strolls.

He did sleep on the bed with his mum in his precious home, so we think he would like this to continue in his new one. If you’re looking for a loyal companion who will be your best friend, please consider our sweet Benji.

When Benji arrived with us he was missing 12 teeth and has had a further 4 extracted here and he also was treated for a ear infection in his right ear. In his previous home, his adopters vet noted that he had a low heart rate but was breathing fast and advised that this was monitored. He has been monitored by our vets since arriving back with us and his heart has been a normal rate during all checks here as has his breathing. He has a pea sized lump on his shoulder, but no action is needed and it is advised to monitor it. He is being treated for an ulcer in his right eye.
