Benji

Ready for some super cuddles and loving companionship? Benji is a really chill pup, loves his foster fur siblings, and is always excited to meet a new human. This dog is located in Selah, WA. PetFinder allows multiple postings of the same animal as long as the postings are 100 miles apart from each other. This way we can reach far and wide to find the perfect home for this dog. If driving to Selah is difficult for you, we will do our best to find a rescue partner to meet you halfway.
