Benji

Description

Successfully rehomed by RSPCA Reading with Oxon Border Branch

Benji is a 13 year old neutered male Labrador. He is a large dog that has come into care as, sadly, his owner has recently passed away. He is in good general health apart from a few fatty lumps and stiff rear legs, which you would expect of a dog of this age. Currently he does not need any medication although it is likely that he will need to have anti-inflammatory relief in due course. He is good with people and although he is good with children would prefer a quieter life now that he is an older gentleman. He is happy to be with other dogs but no longer wishes to play, however, he would still chase cats, so no cats I'm afraid.
