Adopt Gentle Senior Yorkie: Benji

Benji🐶 Meet Benji – A Devoted Companion Looking for His Second Act
At 10 years young this handsome 5.5kg boy is searching for a new place to rest his head. Benji is the definition of a "people dog"—he absolutely loves human interaction and thrives on companionship.
Benji is a sophisticated senior who knows exactly what he likes. He is a sensitive soul who prefers a peaceful environment; loud noises like the clattering of pots and pans in the kitchen will send him scurrying to the bedroom for a little "me time." He is perfectly housetrained and has a lovely routine of sleeping on the big bed at night, though he’s recently been enjoying the comfort of his own basket too.
He’s a vigilant little guardian who will let you know when someone is at the door, but once he knows you're a friend, he's all about the love. Benji is looking for a home where he can be the center of someone's world, preferably in a quiet household where he can enjoy his golden years in peace and comfort.
💖 Benji's Personality and Needs
Age: 10 years old
Temperament: Benji is very affectionate with people and loves to be near his owners. He is sensitive to loud noises and prefers a calm atmosphere.
Good with Dogs: Yes, he is generally good with other dogs as long as he isn't restricted on a lead, which can make him feel a bit defensive.
Good with Cats: No, Benji is not a fan of feline friends.
Good with Children: He has never lived with children. Given his dislike for noise, a home with older, respectful children or an adult-only home would be best.
Housetraining: Fully housetrained.
Health/Special Needs: Healthy and up to date on vaccinations. He enjoys a diet of pellets for older dogs mixed with chicken and rice. He has lost a few teeth.
Ideal Home: A quiet, stable home where he won't be startled by loud noises. He would love a retired couple or someone working from home who wants a loyal shadow.
