Benji

My story

Benji is a handsome senior poodle, approximately 9.5 years old, looking for a caring and loving foster or foster-to-adopt home. He was a transfer from local animal control where he had been found as a stray. Unfortunately, no one reclaimed him. We had him evaluated by our vet who found he has chronic dry eye (KCS). He is currently on 3 daily eye medications, which have helped immensely in clearing up his eyes and reducing the amount of discharge. Benji does have very limited vision and will bump into things at times if he is caught off guard. Benji is neutered, microchipped, and up to date on vaccinations and testing. We have him on a low daily dose of gabapentin to help with discomfort in his back legs we had been noticing. We believe it to be due to old age and/or arthritis. Benji has shown some resource-guarding tendencies with things like food or high-value treats. He is looking for a home without other dogs or children. Benji will require multiple meet and greets as he takes time and slow introductions to trust new people. He will require a patient home that can take the time to work with him.

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.
