My story

Meet Benji, an 8-year-old Australian Shepherd (born 11/14/2016) who is as affectionate as he is smart. Loyal to his people, Benji thrives on attention and companionship and is looking for a forever home where he can be the center of someone’s world. True to his breed, he has plenty of energy and does best with daily walks, playtime, and brain-stimulating activities to keep him happy and balanced. Benji is house trained, knows basic commands like sit, lie down, and come, and walks decently on a leash, though he can pull a little when excited. He isn’t crate trained but does well relaxing on his own. While he enjoys toys from time to time, his favorite things are treats, being outdoors, cuddling, and soaking up love from his people. Young children can make Benji a bit anxious with their sudden movements, he would thrive in an adult-only home or with older kids who understand how to respect a dog’s boundaries. He also needs to be the only pet, as he doesn’t get along with other dogs or cats. With the right home, Benji will be a deeply loyal and affectionate companion who is always ready to snuggle, keep you company, and bring joy to your days.Benji is a wonderful, affectionate dog who just needs the right match to feel safe, happy, and adored. If you’re looking for a loyal best friend who will stick by your side, Benji is your guy. Benji is a courtesy post, if interested in adopting him please send us an email and we will put you in contact with his owners.

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