Benji is a 7 year old Mix-Breed in Nampa, ID, who needs $1,500 for Root Canal.

I brought Benji home from the humane society in 2021. He was 3 then and very skinny with a kennel cough, he was a stray when they found him but even still his energy was high and spirit to play even higher. He’s been with me for the last 4 years and he’s become very popular amongst my friends and family as a very sweet, playful and yet gentle dog. He’s pretty small 30 pounds and very toy dependent

Recently Benji had an injury I hadn’t noticed, he was excessively licking his lips at night and favoring a side of his mouth for about a week and I noticed he would yelp when playing with his chew toys. Upon further inspection i noticed his back teeth were fractured but still partially intact. You can move the tooth but it’s attached enough it causes him pain I’m want to get him in for root canal

Tug of war is his go to favorite method of play, he’s an extremely sweet dog, submissive to every other dog he’s met rolling over to expose his belly, just eager to play. He’s good with everyone and can often be seen dragging around his blanket or rope toys looking for a partner to play tug of war.

I’ve very recently moved into a new apartment. I’m normally not one to seek help but most of my finances were tied up in moving delays storage fees and now finally moving and this surgery to avoid infection in his mouth just happened at a really bad time.
