We’ve taken care of the heavy lifting so you can focus on bonding:<br/><br/>Up-to-date on all vaccines.<br/><br/>Neutered.<br/><br/>Microchipped.<br/><br/>His Ideal Home<br/><br/>Benson is a "sensitive soul" who values safety. He isn't the type to jump into your arms the second you meet; he needs a moment to observe and decide you’re one of the "good ones." Once you earn that trust, you’re in for life.<br/><br/>He thrives in a stable, patient environment where he can continue to come out of his shell at his own pace. If you have a calm home and a heart big enough to help a boy heal, Benson will reward you with a lifetime of devotion.<br/><br/>A Note from His Caretakers: "Watching Benson come out of his shell has been incredibly rewarding. The first time he wagged his tail at us, we knew he was going to be okay. He just needs a person who understands that the best things in life are worth waiting for."<br/><br/>Are you ready to be Benson’s hero?
