Sweet Benji has had a bit of misfortune in his short lifespan, but is looking forward to a fabulous future with a forever, loving person. Although life has left him with only 1 eye, he doesn't know he's any different and why should he! Benji has a fabulous personality whether he's living the lap of luxury on the couch next to you or playing games with his canine buddies; he enjoys life to it's fullest. We don't know what happened to his original family, but we know he winded up in a shelter. When his new family adopted him there was a medical issue and he had to have his left eye surgically removed. But it didn't stop him from enjoying life - he was happy in his new home. Then he had another setback, his new owner became very ill and was unable to care for him. He was left in his crate for long periods of time with no one to look after him. That made him sad & lonely, but his people called Genesis and we were very happy to have him in our program. And he was happy to be here - no more sadness! He settled into his foster home with flying colors - playing with all the other dogs and especially loved snuggle time with his foster Mom. And life was good. Then a wonderful home was found for him - and he got to go live there with his new people, new canine playmate and he loved them all - especially his new Dad. But after several years, tragedy struck again. His family split up and he had nowhere to go.....so he came back to Genesis where he has always felt safe and happy. He thought he would just hang out here until he found a new home - a forever one this time please. And while he has been waiting, he's had another setback. His one remaining eye is having some medical issues and the doctors say he has very little sight in that one either. But I guess he didn't want anyone to know - cause he has found his way around with no trouble - no one even knew he couldn't really see!
