Big Ben's Story

Big Ben is a 3 year old ~75 pound mix, suspected Malinois, Great Dane, Lab and Pit mix (DNA test pending!). He is the coolest color with a dark ridge down his back, and is extremely soft. He is easy to train, very obedient, and extremely fun! Couch potatoes need not apply, as Ben wants to do things (with or without you) but preferably with you (though cuddling on the couch is awesome after doing other stuff together). Ben has started scent work training, has professional obedience training, and will excel at any job he is given the chance to try! He is good with other dogs when managed by an educated owner, but has had dog aggression issues in the past. He currently lives easily with 5+ other dogs and is very gentle when playing with his friends, but sometimes is unsure how to handle new friends and takes guidance well. He is still being introduced to cats, but can likely coexist with them just fine as his prey drive is medium - low. He desperately wants to be a good boy, he just often needs reminded what a good boy needs to be doing (or not doing)

Neshama Animal Rescue's Adoption Policy
NOTE: Putting in a Petfinder inquiry is NOT an application! Applications can be filled out at apply.neshamarescue.org How to Adopt from Neshama Animal Rescue Thank you for your interest in adopting a companion animal through Neshama Animal Rescue. Please select the appropriate application below to begin the process. Adoption Process 1) Review our adoptable animals. 2) Apply online by filling out the correct application. (Applications: apply.neshamarescue.org) 3) Neshama Animal Rescue will review your application and be in touch. 4) Neshama Animal Rescue will contact your references, veterinarian, and landlord (if applicable). 5) Neshama Animal Rescue will conduct a home visit. 6) Neshama Animal Rescue will inform you of our decision and next steps. A note about adopting kittens! It is the policy of Neshama Animal Rescue to not adopt out single young kittens if there isn’t another companion animal in the house. A companion animal is another cat, kitten, or a small friendly dog that would get along well with the kitten. This is a rule that many people don’t understand at first, but the companionship of another cat is so crucial to a kitten’s psychological and social development. Adopting more than one kitten significantly reduces the chances of the cat developing bad behavioral issues, and assures a more even tempered, friendly, outgoing personality. If you have a kitten and are looking for a friend for your kitten, we may have some single kittens available, but we will only entertain applications where the kitten will not be a single cat. If you are only interested in adopting one cat and do not currently have another companion animal, please consider one of our many adult cats.
