A volunteer writes: "Ben, the two of us need look no more, we both found what we were looking for..." the plaintive voice of a young Michael Jackson rings through my head as I search Ben's eager eyes, so hungry for food, love and family that he sees a new BFF in everyone he meets. If what you're looking for is an affectionate, huggable, energetic companion who adores playtime with humans and dogs alike and is pretty darn handsome to boot, then your search ends with Ben! This fun-loving boy arrived with the rest of his 'pack' - equally stunning brother Rascal (Axxxx163), sister Lady (Axxxx165) and a little kitty companion - after his owners lost their home and were unable to find another to accommodate such a furry full house. Just like in the song, Ben is 'always running here and there', ignoring toys and balls in favor of plain old goofing around (play-bowing included!) with his doggie pals or getting into a game of chase with his human friends, those long legs dashing around the pen before coming to rest on my lap as he smothers me with grateful, enthusiastic kisses. He'll sit briefly for treats and take them quickly but nicely from my hand, seems extremely house trained and though a bit of a leash puller, he listens when I speak and accepts a shortened rope with no argument. Excellent scores on his behavior evaluation mean Ben would be a great fit for any experienced, active family and with his dog- and cat-friendly history, the more four-legged siblings, the merrier! Ask to meet this lovable clown today and hopefully you'll soon be singing the words Ben's big ol' ears have been longing to hear: "There's something you should know...you've got a place to go."
Ben came to ACC as a stray. A staff member wrote "Ben, Carson and Alex are friendly dogs". The Assistant's observations: prosocial high energy; walked well on leash to the assessment room. During the assessment ben appeared active and friendly jumping up to lick the Assessor's face. He allowed the Assessor to conduct all tactile assessment items remaining active (jumping on the Assessor) throughout the assessment. When pushed away by the "assess-a-hand" Ben did not lift his head from the food bowl. No other behavior issues; no aggression noted. Ben is a very friendly strong active dog that will require an experienced owner who can provide daily physical and mental stimulation in the form of exercise and brisk walks. He may benefit from an obedience group class.
