BENJI
your loyal and calm companion
BENJI
Benji is the sweet boy we rescued after he was found skinny, covered in porcupine quills, and completely shut down.
We honestly weren’t sure if he’d ever recover… but wow, has he proven us wrong!
For the past six weeks, Benji has been in a wonderful foster home with a young woman in Uvita, and she’s absolutely in love with him. He’s turned out to be an absolute gem — calm, kind, and full of gratitude.
He’s super well-behaved, easy-going, and incredibly loyal.
Off leash, he’s amazing — never gets into trouble with other dogs on the street, and his recall is spot on. He listens, learns fast, and is such a joy to have around.
Benji loves walks and exploring nature, but he’s just as happy to chill quietly and chew on his bones. He’s not a fan of cats, but he’s great with other dogs.
At home, Benji prefers staying outside — likely because he’s never really known indoor life. He’ll poke his head inside to say hello but loves his spot on the deck where he can peacefully chill.
In new environments Benji can be a little bit shy at first and looks to his person for reassurance, but once he feels safe, his affectionate and goofy side shines through.
Benji loves gentle attention and being told he’s a good boy.
Benji is about 1–2 years old, 20 kg / neutered, vaccinated, and has completed his heartworm treatment — he’s doing amazing!
Now, he’s ready to find his forever family — someone who enjoys the outdoors, values a loyal companion, and will give him the love he truly deserves.

FAQ
Where are you located / Is there a shelter I can visit?
We are a foster-based rescue, which means we operate without a shelter or office. Every animal we help is cared for in a foster home. Most of our fosters and volunteers are located in and around San Isidro de El General, Pérez Zeledón, in the Southern Zone of Costa Rica.
Can I visit the animals available for adoption?
Yes! Once your application is approved, we’ll coordinate a meet-and-greet with the foster home.
