Benson's Story

Available to Adopt – Benson<br/><br/>Current Location – Fostoria OH<br/><br/>Attention Senior Lovers! This nice old guy is very lovable, playful and is searching for a nice retirement home.<br/><br/>Benson came to us as a shelter transfer and we had been told he was a hospice case. Once in our care, Benson said “Whoa! Not so fast! I'm not planning to check out quite yet.” We've had him evaluated at our own vets and have been given a much more positive outlook.<br/><br/>Is Benson elderly? At approximately 11 years, yes. Does he have some age-related issues? Also, yes. But is any of this slowing him down or dimming his shine? Oh, heck NO! Benson has proven himself to be a good boy, a friend to all and a great companion.<br/><br/>Benson enjoys the company of other dogs, often romping around in the yard with them and then snuggling up for a nap. He's seen many cats both inside the home and out and tends to just ignore them. He's done great with being crated while his humans work and is always happy to see them when they return. He actually prefers to eat in his crate. Benson is a gentle guy and is easy to be around.<br/><br/>So, in a nutshell, what we have here is a nice old gentleman. He's looking for a friend to accompany on leisurely walks, have deep conversations with and curl up beside at the end of the day. While we really don't know if Mr. B has months or years remaining, what we do know is he has a lot of love to share in whatever time he does have. Who's ready to share that time with him?
