BENTEN

My story

Est. DOB: 4/1/2023, male, neutered, chipped, currently 13 lbs, chi mix BenTen is a small chihuahua mix who is passive, loves human contact, and is motivated to please his human. He gets along well with other dogs, but will give a low growl if a large dog comes too close. When his human is away for any length of time, he is exuberant and pushy to get his attention. He has started playing with toys and especially loves the noisy ones! He has a timid personality, is scared of the doggie door, but is working on his potty skills. He was found running scared along a busy street with another small dog. It took well over an hour to catch them as they were barking, running scared in and out of traffic, but once they had a slip lead on, it was clear he wanted to be loved. He sleeps well in a kennel overnight, waits patiently for his food to be ready, and doesn't steal food from others. He is the sweetest most gentle little guy and can't wait to show you how much of a difference he can make in your life! Please consider making this gorgeous boy a member of your family.
