Benji is a 8 month old Border Collie in Redding, CA, who needs $2,000 for Surgery for Osteochondritis Dessecans.

Hi there! 😊 My name is Benji. I am a 9-month-old Border Collie from California. I was left tied to a pole on the side of the road before I was taken to an animal shelter and given a new loving home by my mom and dad, Sarah and Dillan Bott ❤️ I was sick with Distemper and my parents had to wait for me to be released from quarantine before they could take me home. Unfortunately, they soon found out

Benji has Osteochondritis Dessecans (OCD), a painful orthopedic condition that the veterinarian said requires surgery to fix. He is being treated at VCA Asher Animal Hospital in Redding.

Benji is such a special guy! He has the sweetest, most trusting personality in the world. He literally loves everyone and everything, and no one would guess all the pain and trauma he has gone through.

I am currently working part-time as an EMT in an ambulance and also studying pre-nursing. My husband is a student too and so we were not prepared for this.
