Benjamin

Description

Benjamin was born around September 1, 2025 and weighs about 12 pounds. He is a cutie and will be even cuter once his fur grows back out.  It seems he was shaved due to mating and fleas - all gone now.  It's possible the nippy behavior we were told about was due to his uncomfortable body condition but maybe he's just one of those spicey Chihuahuas that the right household understands and loves.  Because of this, no little kids in his next life, please.  He is being wonderful with the other dogs here both large and small and we are told he is good with cats.  Benjamin is good on leash and enjoys traveling in a car.  We were also told that he is good about hanging around his humans when off leash and that makes sense because these little ones sure do become devoted once they love you!  Once you become his bestie he is a major snuggler.  Benny was not neutered when he came to us thus, he was struggling on some marking behavior.  He is now neutered and we are working with him as likely you will need to also once he moves again.  We do like to always mention with these little ones that floor potty pads often make life so much easier to us and them.  Ben is absolutely adorable, very inquisitive, and those eyes show how intelligent he is - someone out there is going to LOVE this little boy!
