Meet Benson, a spirited young Morkie (a delightful mix of Yorkshire Terrier and Maltese) from sunny Tampa, FL, who at almost 1 year old, is a bundle of energy and affection! With his small 11-pound frame wrapped in a soft tan coat, Benson’s days are filled with the kind of enthusiasm and joy that brings warmth to everyone around him. He’s a natural charmer, showering his friends with endless kisses, snuggling close whenever he gets the chance, and making everyone feel like his best friend!
Benson's personality is as lively as it is lovable. He’s always up for a good game of fetch, chasing after his favorite squeaky toys, or basking in the grass with his joyful spirit on full display. True to his social nature, Benson is friendly with people and other dogs, making him a wonderful addition to a home that might already have a four-legged friend. Just know that he does have a little quirk around food—he’s known to dart over to another dog’s bowl if he sees the chance! While he does give a mild growl if someone tries to take his food away, he’s never shown aggression, making him a safe, friendly buddy to be around.
Though Benson hasn’t yet mastered house training, he’s a bright and eager learner who, with a consistent schedule, will thrive under positive guidance. Walks are Benson’s favorite activity, though his excitement sometimes leads him to pull on the leash. With structure and a little training, Benson is sure to shine as a well-behaved walking companion. Given his love for companionship and routines, he’ll do best with a family that can provide him with a steady schedule and some quality playtime.
Benson’s ideal family would be one that loves a high-energy, playful companion and is ready to invest in training to help him settle into his new home comfortably. A fenced yard would be perfect for his energetic nature, giving him a safe place to explore, play, and relax.
Are you ready to welcome this affectionate and lively little buddy into your life? Benson’s waiting to meet his new best friend—could that be you? For more details, please reach out today!
