Meet Benji,  a 5.5 yr old  Goldendoodle with a heart full of love and a tail that rarely stops wagging. This friendly, active, and intelligent fluffball is the ultimate companion for a family who’s ready to match his energy and affection.

Benji thrives on play, especially a game of catch with his favorite small tennis ball. He’s not much for plush toys or chewables, but give him space to run, and you’ll see him zoom with joy across the yard. A fenced yard is a dream come true for this guy, where his bursts of energy can run wild and free.

At home, Benji is a model of good behavior. He's never damaged a single thing, respects boundaries (no furniture jumping here), and prefers a cozy carpet or cool floor over a dog bed.  He’s independent when it comes to mealtime, liking his space and privacy while. He’s otherwise a loyal shadow, choosing always to be where the people are.

If you have company over, Benji wants (actually expects) to be included, & preferably he’d love to be the center of attention.  If you try to separate him from his family or guests, he has FOMO and will tell you all about it with his barks. He just wants to be included & assumes every single person loves him. He is a big boy and definitely isn’t aware of his size.

He’s sweet, affectionate, and delightfully intuitive. If you’re ever feeling under the weather or a little low, Benji will be right there to cuddle up and make it better. His original owners felt like he was meant to be an emotional support or therapy dog (no actual training in this area).  He’s easygoing with guests and animals alike, though don’t be surprised if he makes some noise when he's separated from the action!

Benji follows commands well and is incredibly well-mannered when it comes to grooming. Baths? No problem. Ear cleaning? He’s a champ. And yes, he loves celebrating his birthday yearly on August 23 with a dog-friendly cupcake and a good, long walk to show off his clean curls. His family hopes his new home will continue this tradition .

If you’re looking for a gentle giant with a playful spirit and a whole lot of heart, Benji might just be your perfect match.  His adoption donation is $210 & will include age-appropriate vaccines, microchip, and neuter.  Please follow the link to submit an application:      https://bit.ly/3GDeyyo
