Benji is a 7-year-old Miniature Schnauzer mix in Helena, AL, who needs $455 for treatment for heartworms.

Benji was originally adopted from a local shelter by an individual who after deciding she no longer wanted him, intended to dump him. Her daughter reached out to the FB community to rehome him. I saw his face and I just knew he had to come home with me. Benji arrived filthy with incredibly long toenails - I don’t think he had experienced much love. He is pretty active, loves toys, loves his sister, and has enjoyed learning to eat dog appropriate people food. A few of his favorites are bananas, carrots, apples, and peanut butter. Benji follows me wherever I go and sleeps with me at night. He has become a very loved companion to both his sister and me.
