Ben

Ben's ideal home

Ben is a sweet and cheeky little chap looking for a quiet and understanding home. He is looking for a calm adult only home, with no visiting children, who can give him plenty of time and space to settle in. Ben is very uncomfortable with handling and does have to be muzzled for the vet and intense handling, so will need very understanding people who are willing to keep up with his training. Ben enjoys human company but is not a ‘lap dog’, and will need a really hands off approach so that he can settle at his own pace. Ben will need to be the only dog in his new home, though does enjoy going for walks with calm walking friends! Ben has previously shown resource guarding behaviours and doesn’t like to share his favourite things and novel items, so will need his new family to be understanding of this and able to manage this behaviour in the home – our training team are here to help with this! Ben will need to meet his new family multiple times before he can go home so that they can learn all about his ongoing training needs, and so that he can get to know them. Ben will need his own secure garden where he can explore, play fetch, and sunbathe!

Could you be Ben's perfect match?

Ben is a fab little boy who can be quite chatty! Despite being an older lad he still loves going out for walks, and would like a home where he can still go for adventures! He is a sensitive boy and takes a few meets to gain his confidence with new people especially in regards to handling, but does enjoy a bit of fuss once he knows you. He loves nothing more than playing fetch and zooming around with a toy in his mouth, which is a great way to help build a bond with him! Ben has been in a home previously but will need refreshing on all of his basics including housetraining. Any time left alone will need to be built up gradually, leaving him with lots to keep him busy- as he can become vocal if left for long periods of time. Ben is a fab little boy who needs a family who can be really patient with him.
