Benji

My story

🐾🤎 Foster or Adopt Benji 🤎🐾 Benji (formerly Gunner) was adopted from LCDR in 2021, and through no fault of his own, he is now looking for a new place to call home. 💔 We’re committed to our dogs for life, and now it’s our turn to help Benji find his next chapter. 🏡 Why Benji needs a new home: His family recently moved into a townhome, making daily life much more challenging. Benji is leash reactive, so navigating shared spaces for potty breaks has become difficult—especially while caring for a new baby. 🐶 About Benji: 🤎 Great with small and large dogs with proper introductions 👧 Best with children 10 years and older 👨 May be cautious around some men at first but warms up into a loving, affectionate companion 🐾 Displays classic herding/heeler behaviors and may try to herd or gently nip when excited 🩺 Medical: 🌼 Seasonal allergies currently managed successfully with Benadryl 💪 Otherwise healthy and ready for his next adventure! 🏡 Ideal Home: ✔️ Experienced dog owner ✔️ Familiar with herding breeds (or willing to learn!) ✔️ Able to work with or manage leash reactivity ✔️ Home with older kids or adults ✔️ Doesn’t need a crate—he does well when left out and isn’t destructive 🚗 Transportation: Benji is currently in Illinois, and transportation back to Arizona has already been arranged if needed. His adopter is willing to drive him to meet transport, making placement possible for an Arizona foster or adopter! 💛 Benji has already known the love of a family once. Let’s make sure he doesn’t have to wait long to find it again. 👉 Apply to foster or adopt Benji here: https://linktr.ee/loveconnectiondogrescueaz?utm_source=qr_code
