Benji

Benji is 11 months old, he is a bright and enthusiastic young lad with lots of energy. He is crossed with a Shar-pei and Labrador; he does show traits of both these breeds. Shar-pei`s are a loyal breed and will be devoted to their owner and can be wary of new people that come into the home.

Labradors are friendly, sociable and excitable with lots of energy. You could say that both breeds complement each other. Benji was left for over nine hours in his last home that has resulted in him being under socialised around dogs.

New owners must have owned a dog before and are able to provide him with lots of training so he can focus on the handler then be able to slowly be introduced to new dogs.

He will be unable to live with another dog or with children. Benji will need to live in a house with a garden in a semi rural location.

If you feel you can offer Benji a home please contact the Behaviour Unit on 0207 627 7884 or e-mail behaviourrehoming@dogshome.org quoting his reference number 2006/05412. Alternatively, you could come down to the home and register with us.
