Benji is a 3-year-old Labrador Retriever with a heart full of love and a tail that never stops wagging. This happy boy adores attention from his humans and is always ready for some quality cuddle time. His previous owners loved him very much but were no longer able to care for him, so now he’s looking for his forever family.

Benji thrives on companionship and is used to having people around. Whether it’s snuggling in bed at night or curling up on the couch for a TV marathon, he’s your ultimate cuddle buddy. But don’t let his snuggly side fool you – Benji has that classic Lab energy! He is ALWAYS up for a game of fetch with a frisbee or tennis ball and could play tug of war for hours with a rope toy. He also loves hiking through the mountains and swimming whenever he gets the chance.

When his foster family is away, Benji has stayed at Prestige Kennels doggie daycare and done well playing with his furry friends there. However, in his ideal forever home, he would prefer to be the only dog so he can soak up all the love, attention and toys. He’s a loyal and devoted companion who bonds deeply with his people, he just needs his forever.

Benji is fantastic with kids and would be a wonderful addition to an active household. If you’re an adventure enthusiast looking for a hiking, swimming, and fetching partner, followed by a snuggle session at night, Benji is your perfect match!

Benji is neutered, up to date on vaccinations, microchipped and on heartworm and flea/tick prevention. His adoption fee is $200.

Interested in this animal? The first step is an application, which can be completed at www.cvrrescue.org/adoption-applications/.

The adoption fee helps cover a portion of the care provided for our animals, including spay/neuter, microchip, heartworm testing for dogs, FeLV/FIV combo testing for cats, deworming, age-appropriate vaccines (including rabies vaccine), and any medical care received while in our care. All cats and dogs are on flea/tick and parasite prevention for the duration of foster care.

Notes about puppies: Adopters can expect a new puppy to have accidents, chew things they shouldn't, and have other normal, energetic puppy issues until they are trained, including jumping, mouthing, and general youthful naughtiness. If you experience puppy issues, please feel free to contact us; we’re happy to offer guidance. Also, if a puppy is a mixed breed, we cannot guarantee an adult weight. If your residence has weight restrictions or if you’re looking for a specific adult weight, we don't recommend applying for a mixed-breed puppy.

We also offer rehoming services for pets currently owned by individuals. In these cases, we list the animal as a courtesy to the owner, and the animal is not currently in the care of CVRR, such that we can make no representation or guarantee of the animal’s behavior, demeanor, or health assessment. All information listed for a courtesy-posted animal is provided by the current owner and should be verified by any potential adopter.

CVRR is a nonprofit organization. We have no paid staff, and all applications are reviewed and processed by our volunteers. Please be patient and understand that it may take 7-14 days to process your application, check your references, and gather follow-up info. You can expedite the process by providing accurate phone numbers and email addresses for your vet and landlord references, and by answering each question fully. Once your application is approved, we will schedule a meet-and-greet to see if the animal picks you, too. If it seems the adoption will be a good match for all, we will collect the adoption fee and complete the adoption contract.

CVRR is a NO KILL rescue organization, and we have a LIFETIME COMMITMENT to all of our animals. If for any reason the adoption does not work out, the animal must be returned to CVRR. We will reevaluate the animal and choose a new home based on the best fit for it.
