Ben's Story

Meet Ben — Have Ball, Will Run!<br/><br/>Looking for a best friend who is ready to GO when you are, and relax when you’re not? Meet Ben!<br/><br/>Ben is a handsome 2-year-old, approximately 75-pound neutered Lab mix. <br/><br/>Ben’s absolute favorite thing in the world might be a tennis ball. Give this boy a tennis ball and he is READY. Take a couple of tennis rackets into the backyard and hit the ball back and forth, and Ben will happily run after it again and again...and again. If you’ll throw it, hit it or kick it, Ben is in!<br/><br/>That same enthusiasm makes him a wonderful match for someone who enjoys being active. Running, hiking, playing in the backyard or heading out for an adventure, Ben wants to go with you. But he’s not constantly “on.” Once the activity is over, this sweet boy knows how to settle down and relax. We’ve even caught him asleep with his beloved tennis ball still tucked in his mouth. <br/><br/>Ben is also an incredibly friendly dog. He loves kids, he loves other dogs, and he genuinely enjoys being around people. And if Ben ever meets another dog he doesn’t get along with? Well, according to those who know him best, it’s not Ben’s fault. It’s the other dog’s fault. <br/><br/> Ben’s Best Qualities<br/><br/>* 2 years old & approximately 75 lbs.<br/>* Neutered<br/>* Loves kids <br/>* Loves other dogs <br/>* Friendly, happy and playful<br/>* Loves people and being included<br/>* Tennis-ball fanatic <br/>* Fantastic potential running or hiking partner<br/>* Active and athletic, but knows how to settle<br/>* Professional best-friend material<br/><br/>Ben isn’t looking for someone to simply give him a place to live.<br/><br/>He’s looking for someone to DO LIFE with.<br/><br/>Run together. Play together. Explore together. Give him kids to play ball with, another dog to be his buddy, or just a person who wants a four-legged partner for whatever adventure comes next. Then come home, put your feet up, and let Ben settle beside you, quite possibly with a tennis ball still in his mouth.<br/><br/>Ben is the kind of dog who could become someone’s once-in-a-lifetime companion. He just needs to find his person.
