Benjamin

My story

Meet Benjamin — the undercover goofball with a heart of gold! At first glance, he might seem a little shy, like he’s feeling out the vibe before diving in. But give him a little time (and maybe a cozy spot to curl up), and you'll discover his true personality: a total sweetheart who’s equal parts silly and snuggly. Once Benjamin decides you’re part of his circle, get ready for some serious lapdog energy. Yes — this handsome guy loves to sit on your lap like he’s the size of a teacup, even if that means awkwardly balancing all four paws on you like a wobbly stack of pancakes. And he doesn’t stop there — he’ll lean into you for cuddles, follow you around for moral support, and toss in a few playful zoomies just to keep things interesting. Toys? Oh, he’s into them. He might not be the wildest player in the room, but he knows how to have a good time and appreciates a good squeak session or a game of gentle fetch. Now let’s talk crates — Benjamin says “no thanks.” He’s not a fan. He prefers the freedom of a cozy room and will make it very clear that he’s ready to be where the people are (cue Little Mermaid soundtrack). That said, with a little patience, he will settle down eventually, especially once he knows he hasn’t been forgotten. He may not be the type to show off on day one, but give him a few days, and his personality blossoms like a goofy little flower — one that will absolutely steal your heart. Looking for a loyal, gentle, and secretly silly sidekick? Benjamin might just be your guy. Come meet him and let him warm up — you’ll be so glad you did.
