Benson

Say hello to Benson! Benson is a handsome Shih Tzu / Poodle mix who is 10 years old and weighs 12 pounds. He was being owner surrendered to the Weslaco shelter in south Texas near the border of Mexico. The reason? His previous owner was worried about him bringing dirt in the home around her grand baby. Yes, you read that correctly. Thankfully we were there at the right time and were able to take this adorable boy into our program where he could get proper vetting and a home that will give him the love he deserves. Benson is a sweet and loving dog with the most wonderful disposition. He’s a laid-back, “go with the flow” kind of guy who wants nothing more than to hang out with his people and be part of the family. He loves to be held and if you have a warm lap to sit in, he is happy to oblige. The one thing Benson does not like is the kennel, so he will need to be in a home where being crated is not an option for him. He just wants to be where the action is and will be a loyal, devoted member of the family. He enjoys riding in the car and going on new adventures, too. We just love this sweet snuggle-bug and can’t wait for him to find his forever family! Benson is located at our rescue in Hondo, Texas and is available for transport to Columbus, Ohio on April 13th, 2024. He is neutered, up to date on all shots, microchipped and his adoption fee is $400. The fee includes the transport cost.
