🐾 Meet Benji! 🐶💙 Benji is an adorable 2-month-old puppy with the sweetest personality and so much love to give! He is a very affectionate, gentle, and laid-back little guy who enjoys nothing more than relaxing and snuggling up with his favorite people. While he loves a good play session, he’s just as happy curling up beside you for some quality cuddle time. Benji is a fairly quiet puppy who doesn’t bark much, making him a wonderful little companion. He absolutely loves playing with his rope toys and crinkly toys, and he gets along great with both cats and people! He has such a friendly and loving nature and enjoys being around others. Not only is Benji incredibly sweet, but he’s also a very smart little boy! At just 2 months old, he’s already learning basic commands like “sit” and “come,” and he continues to impress us with how quickly he picks up on new things. Benji would thrive in a loving home where he can receive plenty of affection, attention, and opportunities to continue learning and growing. He has the perfect balance of playful puppy energy and a calm, cuddly personality. If you’re looking for a sweet, snuggly, easygoing little best friend, Benji might just be the perfect addition to your family! 🐾💙 Benji is approximately 0y 2m 7d old and may be 33 to 39 pounds when fully grown. They are microchipped and up to date on all age-appropriate medical care. Their breed is unknown as we have not had a DNA test done. Although our dogs are listed as unknown breed, buildings with specific dog restrictions typically enforce their rules based on what breeds a dog appears to resemble. It's always important to keep that in mind and know your building's policies before adopting a dog. This dog is available for adoption through Muddy Paws Rescue. If you're interested in adopting, the first thing you should do is begin the registration process at www.muddypawsrescue.org. If you are already a registered adopter with Muddy Paws Rescue, please email us at adoptionmeetings@muddypawsrescue.org.
This dog's breed isn't known, so here's general guidance for mixes.
🧠 Temperament
He is a very affectionate, gentle, and laid-back little guy who enjoys nothing more than relaxing and snuggling up with his favorite people. Every dog is an individual — temperament depends far more on this dog's history and personality than on breed.
🎾 Exercise
Most adult dogs do well with 30-60 minutes of walking a day plus play and sniffing time.
✂️ Grooming
Brush regularly, bathe as needed, keep nails trimmed and ears clean.
🏙️ In a NYC apartment
Benji is a fairly quiet puppy who doesn’t bark much, making him a wonderful little companion. Ask the rescue about leash manners, elevator and stair comfort, alone-time tolerance, and whether the dog settles in a small space.
