Benjamin

My story

Meet Benjamin – the Big Hunk of Love You Didn't Know You Needed Don’t let the muscles fool you—Benjamin is 70 pounds of pure, cuddly gentleman. This 1.5 to 2-year-old Pit Bull mix is basically the canine version of a yoga instructor: calm, collected, and cool as a cucumber. The second he strolls into the room, his chill vibes are impossible to miss. Benjamin is not just a pretty face—he’s got brains too. Fully potty trained? Check. Knows his basic commands like sit, stay, down, and comes when called? You bet. Leash walking is a work in progress, but he's food motivated and a fast learner. (Hint: bribe him with a snack and he’s all yours.) He’s a total toy enthusiast—fetch, chew toys, squeakers—you name it, he loves it. He’s also a social butterfly with other dogs his size and incredibly gentle with kids. Basically, he’s everyone’s favorite dude at the dog park. Got squirrels? Birds? Cats? Benjamin’s got his eye on 'em. So, maybe skip the small animals in the house—he’s a little too into them. Crate time? He’s all about it. Ben will happily retreat to his crate for naps or me-time, even when the humans are home. And if you let him, he’ll try to squeeze onto your lap like he’s a chihuahua in disguise. (He’s not. But it’s adorable.) All in all, Benjamin is the ultimate family dog: sweet, smart, gentle, and goofy in the best way. He’s currently living his best foster life in Novato, CA, just waiting for his forever people to come find him.
