Description
Meet Benji, a truly lovely young boy who was rescued as a small puppy from a public shelter.
He didn’t have the easy start every pup deserves, but what’s so special about Benji is this: his heart stayed soft.
Now safe in a private shelter, Benji is quietly hoping for the one thing he has never known —
a calm, loving home where he can finally feel safe and begin his real life.
Benji isn’t a dog who demands attention.
He’s the kind who gently draws you in —
a shy wag of his tail, a hopeful look, a softness that touches you without words.
📏 Size
Approx. 40 cm at the shoulder (can be measured precisely on request).
🐾 Looks & possible mix
Benji has the elegant, slim build often seen in lurcher or whippet mixes, with just a hint of terrier alertness that gives him a spark of curiosity.
His glossy black coat, white chest and fine legs give him a graceful, almost poetic silhouette.
He is, quite simply, a very handsome young dog.
💛 Personality
Benji is kind, gentle and affectionate.
When meeting new people, he likes to take a moment to observe first — not because he is difficult, but because he is thoughtful and sensitive. Once he feels safe, his true nature shines through:
loyal, loving and deeply connected to his people.
He gets along wonderfully with other dogs. A calm canine companion could give him extra confidence, though this is absolutely not essential if his adopters offer him warmth, time and reassurance.
Benji is the kind of dog who gives back tenfold what he receives.
🏡 His ideal home
Benji would thrive in a peaceful, loving home where life doesn’t have to move too fast.
He would love:
a secure garden to explore safely
gentle routines and kind guidance
a calm household where he can relax and grow in confidence
optionally, a friendly resident dog
Benji doesn’t need “experience” —
he needs people with a warm heart who enjoy watching a young dog gently blossom.
🌟 A hopeful future
Benji is still very young. With the right family, he will grow into a devoted, loving companion who brings quiet joy into everyday life.
He’s ready for someone to show him that the world can be kind —
and that he truly belongs.
