Big Ben's Story

IDGSR Welcomes BEN into the safety of the rescue!!<br/><br/>THIS DOG IS FOSTERED IN TENNESSEE & AVAILABLE FOR TRANSPORT<br/><br/>**************<br/>Howdy! My name is Ben, aka Big Ben, and I'm a handsome 5-6yr old male German Shepherd. I am located near Greeneville TN and will be available for transport.<br/><br/>Quick Facts:<br/>Age - 5-6yr old<br/>Kids - adult home preferred<br/>Dogs - fine with large female dogs or as an only dog<br/>Cats - NO cats<br/>Training - could use an obedience refresher<br/><br/>1. I've been in the rescue the longest out of all the dogs. I'm not sure why I keep getting looked over. I'm handsome, athletic, and a fantastic example of what the German Shepherd breed is all about.<br/><br/>2. I am fully vetted: neutered, vaccinated, and ready to go to my forever home!<br/><br/>3. For a middle aged guy, I'm pretty active. I enjoy romping around the yard, sniffing all the things, and exploring. I'd love to go on walks, runs, or would be content to chill with you.<br/><br/>4. I would do best with someone who has prior German Shepherd experience. I'm a BIG boy, like pushing 100+ pounds. I'm healthy as a horse and have a lot of strength so my adopter needs to make sure that I know he/she is the boss. <br/><br/>5. I'm obsessed with my food bowl. I'll drag it around, spin it around, toss it and catch it. It's a weird obsession, I know, but hey at least I'm self entertained! <br/><br/>6.
