Shih Tzu - Benji - Small - Adult - Male - Dog
Please meet Benji!
Benji is a 5- year old, Shih Tzu, who came to our shelter in June 2012. He is an adorable, little dog with the cutest overbite. His previous family had to move, and were unable to have a dog in the new apartment. Benji is playful and likes to play fetch, but he also likes to take it easy and curl up on your lap. He loves cats, but he is not always good with other dogs. He is completely housebroken.
Benji?s previous owners said that Benji was well-behaved but "could get protective at times when he bonded with someone." He said that Benji growled a couple of times when there were arguments in the house, but never bit anyone. Since coming to the shelter, Benji was adopted twice, but was returned both times. He seems to bond too closely with a particular family member and become over- protective and aggressive. He was almost put to sleep on one of these occasions, but The Animal Haven intervened and brought him back to the shelter.
This dog baffles The Animal Haven staff. He has never shown signs of aggression at the shelter and he has spent a lot of time with staff in the reception area. His behavior seems to change when he arrives in a new home. He may do best in a home with a single woman with no children or dogs. He may also benefit from professional training. We are looking for someone to either foster Benji or give him a chance for a forever home.
