Benson and Priscilla

* Please read the entire profile

*Only available for adoption within NSW or ACT

Benson and Priscilla are a very sweet natured and quite senior bonded pair looking for a loving home together. Benson is 13 years old and Priscilla is 10 years old. They have grown up together and are inseparable, they are a bonded pair that do everything together.

They like to sleep together or be near each other all of the time. 

They sleep in their own bed in their carer's bedroom so are looking for a home where this will continue.

Benson is a very sweet little boy, very good natured, quiet yet inquisitive and upbeat as he walks along, will follow you around or do his own thing, likes to be picked up for a cuddle and likes a nap throughout the day after his walkies. 

Priscilla is a very sweet little girl, very good natured and quiet, sometimes cheeky in the way she potters around looking for you or things and like Benson loves to be cuddled.  Her sight is starting to fail a little, eg. startled sometimes at night when you put your hand near her, but she adjusts easily; and prefers to be near you so will often follow you around and likes to sleep at your feet whilst you work at your desk.   

They are both doing well with their housetraining and are able to take themselves outside, your home will be a new environment so you will have to set them up to succeed in the new environment.  Advice can be given if needed.

Benson and Priscilla would prefer a home where someone was home more often than not.  They love their walkies and are good in the car so will need a home that can continue to get them out and about on daily walkies and car trips. They walk well on a leash and socialise well with people and other dogs outside of the home, although dog parks can be a bit overwhelming for this pair of seniors, so quieter areas are a better fit for walkies.

They are currently sharing their home with 3 other seniors so would fit into a home with another small dog.

If you are looking for a quiet, loving pair of very deserving seniors to fill your life with love and would like to meet this pair please send us some information on yourself and the home you are able to provide including your location, contact number, your other pets (if any), family members, lifestyle, exercise you will provide, how often they would be alone, where they will have access in the home, where they would go if you went away and could not take them with you, ability to cover vet expenses and any other information you wish to provide.
