Benson's Story

3/5/25<br/>Poor Benson was abandoned when his owners moved away, and he so deserves a real forever home. He had a 3 inch stick stuck in his neck when he was found and needed surgery to remove it, but he's forgotten all about it.<br/><br/>His wonderful foster home is teaching him the basics and giving him lots of love and attention, and he's really blossoming. He's almost a year old, potty trained and crate trained.<br/><br/>Benson likes female dogs and does ok with most male dogs, with proper introduction. His play style is pretty wild and loud when he gets excited, and it could be off putting for some dogs, but he's never aggressive, and he LOVES to play (with people too!). He takes cues from other dogs, good or bad-- if another dog lunges on a leash, Benson will do the same, but when he meets a chill dog, he's chill, too.<br/><br/>He's learning basic commands and needs more work on manners like jumping. His forever home should be committed to continuing to work with him to improve his manners and giving him plenty of exercise-- a tired dog is a good dog! He likes kids, but will do better with older kids-- his boisterous puppy energy and tendency to jump may be too much for little ones. He would love to have a fenced yard and a friend to bounce around with!<br/><br/>Benson is neutered, and microchipped, vaccinated, dewormed, is on heartworm prevention.<br/><br/>If you are interested in meeting and/or adopting one of our dogs, please visit our website and fill out an application: www.northmeckanimalrescue.org
