Benson's Story

Meet Benson <br/><br/>Yes, he was named after Benson Boone... because this little guy can absolutely WAIL.<br/><br/>If youve ever wanted a tiny personal assistant who believes silence is overrated, Benson is your guy. Whether hes announcing breakfast, demanding snuggles, or simply sharing his thoughts on the neighborhood birds, this pint-sized performer always has something to say.<br/><br/>At only about 8 weeks old, Benson may be little, but he firmly believes hes the CEO of the household. He struts into every room like he pays the mortgage, has absolutely no concept of personal space, and is convinced everyone he meets is there to admire him. Honestly? Hes not entirely wrong.<br/><br/>Benson was found as a stray, but hes quickly decided that people, other dogs, cats, and kids are all members of his fan club. He loves having another dog to boss around (or cuddle with when nobodys looking) and enjoys zooming around a fenced backyard like hes training for the Puppy Olympics.<br/><br/>His breed is anyones guess, but we think hell stay on the smaller side. His personality, however? That comes in extra large.<br/><br/>If your home could use a fearless, opinionated, hilarious little sidekick whos large and in charge, Benson is ready to steal your heart... and probably the best spot on the couch.<br/><br/> Warning: Benson may occasionally perform unsolicited concerts. Applause and belly rubs are strongly encouraged.<br/><br/>Applications to adopt can be found at causeforpaws.net.

Cause For Paws's Adoption Policy
In order to encourage folks to rescue homeless Orphans, we try to make the rescue experience as non-invasive and pleasant as possible. First, an application is completed prior to meeting any of our orphans. Since we do not have a shelter, it’s important to be able to pre-qualify folks that will be making appointments with fosters, to meet any of our orphans. We do a vet check, to verify all current or previous dogs are up to date on vaccines, heartworm testing, heartworm prevention, and are either spayed or neutered. We may also contact references listed on the application when there is no previous vet information, or where more information is needed. We’ll then contact you to arrange a home visit, which is merely an opportunity to ask and answer any questions regarding our process. Since most of our orphans have already been in a situation that was not right for them, we want to do whatever it takes to allow them to succeed. It is not our intent to set a dog or a family up for failure.
