Benji came into our rescue in August of 2015. He was picked up by the local ACO who located his owner only to be told "she didn't want him back". Thankfully the ACO asked PADR to take him in or we would never had the pleasure of meeting sweet Benji. Benji came to us with an inoperable tumor. Not knowing how long he would be with us due to his health we placed him in our sanctuary program. We believe Benji would have turned 12 this year, although we don't know the quality of his first 11+/- years of life, we know his last 7 months were filled with love, fun and adventure and for that we thank his foster family. Benji quickly became part of the Rawlings family and took a special liking to his foster sister and BFF Kylie. If Kylie wasn't home for an extended period of time, Benji would mope around the house and refuse to eat. In this picture, he was watching her as she walked to the laundry room. If she was home, he wasn't too far away. His foster mom Rachel held him until he crossed the bridge, as she said "It's the most important part of rescue..........being there when they need you the most".
