Hello, I'm Benji

I'm a 13-year-old Shih Tzu from Burford rehoming centre and I'm looking for my forever home. Please read my profile below to find out more.

I’ve been reserved

Thanks for clicking on my profile. I have now been matched with a loving family and I’m looking forward to settling in at my new home. However, many of my friends still need adopting.

About me

Meet handsome Benji.

He is a sweet older chap who is looking for a retirement home where he can be the centre of attention, have lots of fuss as he deserves to, and can join his owner for an afternoon snooze on the sofa when the mood takes him.

Benji would be best suited to living with adults or teenagers who can understand when this lovely little chap will need time to do important dog business like lounging in the sun, pondering interesting topics, and inspecting comfortable perches to watch the world go by.

In his new home, whilst Benji doesn't want much from other dogs out and about on walks, he has lived with a dog before who shared his relaxed personality and was content to share space rather than be attached at the hip! This funny and loving sweetheart has enough personality to go around, and he loves to go for walks and is quite speedy when he gets going. He isn't able to live with cats.

Benji has shown himself to be housetrained here at the centre and loves to settle on his dog bed.

If this lovely little Man is the canine companion you’ve been looking for, please get in touch today!
