Benji

My story

Meet Benji! This aptly named little senior terrier is at least 13 but still has some spunk and was probably quite the little hellion in his youth. He’s friendly and craves attention, isn’t happy being crated or gated away from the action and demands to be around his people. His teeth were rotting and he only had 6 remaining after his long overdue dental. He’s 11lbs and some kind of Yorkie mixed with maybe Pom or Papillon? He has an unusual thick double coat and not the non-shedding Yorkie hair, but he’s extra soft. He’s a happy little one who likes his walks, has a good appetite and is in pretty good shape for an old man. He’s ok with some small dogs and even a bit of a flirt with the ladies even though he’s been long neutered. A cute little companion for a senior-lover who doesn’t want a blobby slow old man who just naps all the time and still has that terrier energy to keep him young a few more years. Email njwoof@cs.com to meet Benji in Northern NJ Since COVID-19, we are no longer holding our Sunday adoption events until further notice, but we are scheduling meet and greet appointments with a specific dog or dogs at our meeting spots in Northern NJ. To streamline adoptions, all communication before, during, and after the adoption process is done through email only: we have limited volunteers able to return phone calls. Submit an application from our website www.secondchance.petfinder.com to speed up the adoption process and email any questions to us at njwoof@cs.com. Please check your email regularly for next steps. All our dogs reside in foster care in Northern NJ until adoption and we do not have a central shelter location. We are a small all-volunteer organization focused on rescuing local dogs from area shelters, as well as accepting some surrenders and puppy mill rescues.

If you have any questions or would like to adopt Benji, please reach out to the adoption group directly. PetSmart Charities does not facilitate the adoption process. Thank you.
