Benji is a 3 year old Chihuahua mix. He is a very sweet and funny boy. He is very shy when meeting new people. He will need time to adjust to a new home and environment so he will need a patient and loving family to give him time to adjust.  He loves to lay on your lap and nap. He loves belly rubs and getting attention.  He is house trained and crate trained.  He is learning how to walk on a leash.  A fenced yard and another doggy friend would be great. He loves to play with other dogs. Benji would not do well in a home where small children are present. He is a great boy who would be a great addition to a family.
