About Animal Concern Cumbria

Animal Concern Cumbria is based on a rural site near Egremont and has been supporting animals in need since it was founded in 1971. The charity provides a safe, caring environment for animals whose owners can no longer care for them, while also offering guidance and support to help people keep their pets where possible. Some animals require medical treatment, rehabilitation, or extra care before adoption, with tailored care plans created and delivered by the dedicated animal care team. Staff and volunteers also promote animal welfare, responsible pet ownership, and positive reinforcement training through education and community outreach. In addition, the charity runs Peppa’s Pot Campaign, working with local vets to help animals in the community access vital emergency medical care.

Benji

Cumbria
SexMale
Age10 years
BreedSoft Coated Wheaten Terrier

Benji is a 5-year-old Terrier mix with a fun loving personality and plenty of energy to share with his future family. Slightly taller than your average terrier and weighing around 11kg, Benji is a compact little adventurer who enjoys keeping active but also appreciates the comforts of home.This playful boy loves his toys and will happily keep himself entertained with them, especially if someone is around to join in the fun. Benji enjoys getting out and about for his walks, exploring new smells and places. While he’s not the biggest fan of rainy weather, he will still head out for an adventure if he’s wearing his waterproof jacket even if he does so a little grumpily!We suspect Benji may have a bit of Staffy in his mix, especially when you hear his chattiness. When he wants something, whether that’s playtime, attention, or dinner he isn’t shy about telling you!Benji is also a very affectionate dog who loves being close to his people. In fact, one of his favourite ways to show affection is by giving your ears a very enthusiastic clean! After a good walk or a play session, he’s more than happy to settle down beside you on a nice cosy sofa for some well earned relaxation.Benji would love a home where he can enjoy regular walks and little adventures, before coming back to relax with his family. He would prefer to be the only dog in the household, as he can be reactive around male dogs and can sometimes be a bit too much for female dogs.As Benji hasn’t lived with children before, we feel he would do best in a home with children aged 10 years and over, who can understand his lively nature and give him the space he needs2020 - 2026 Animal Concern Cumbria.
