A volunteer writes: I think Benji is just perfect! He has subtle jowls, the best smile, and just radiates love and positive vibes! He is super friendly, wiggly and intelligent. You know those people that say you can’t have the looks and the brains? They haven’t met Benji! He is super food motivated and knows “sit”, “down” and “paw” (and demonstrates them before I ask sometimes !). He seems very housebroken, is easy to walk on leash after he gets his initial burst of energy out, and has done well with other dogs in our playgroups. He always makes the sweetest eye contact and wants nothing more than to be your buddy! He is at Brooklyn ACC and has come done with kennel cough…please share him so he can find a foster or adopter tonight!
