Adorable Benji is the sibling of Vita and Benjamin. All 3 of these incredible dogs came to us from our rescuer in Turkey where they were found at a private shelter after being abandoned by their former owner. They are golden retriever/English setter mixes.

Benji is about 1 1/2 years old, moderate energy, adores dogs, and craves human attention. He is an all around amazing dog. Benji loves his walks and does well on leash. He does look to his doggie foster sibling for guidance, so we are looking to place him in a home with another playful dog. He will need daily walks and play, too. 

Benji has been a wonderful houseguest at his foster home. No potty accidents to date, and he loves having access to a grass yard to run around with his doggie friend and play. He has been left alone with his doggie foster sibling for a couple hours and has done well. He can be a tad bit shy meeting new men, but warms up super quickly. He might pick up a shoe or a cord if given the opportunity, but is easily re-directed to appropriate chew toys. 

Benji is a very good natured, sweet boy who loves to cuddle and play. His foster family is working with him on a few basic commands and he is very smart and picking up the training very quickly. He will be an excellent addition to any family. 

If you’re interested in Benji, please complete our adoption application. Questions can be directed to nancy@roversretreat.org

NOTE: Benjamin’s adoption fee helps offset the extremely high cost of international transportation, extensive vetting done in his home country, and the CDC’s requirements for importing dogs.
