Poor Ben was on a kill list at a public shelter in Romania when a lady in the UK offered to take him. Unfortunately, Ben was not used to being handled and the lady was not prepared or experienced enough to cope with his rehabilitation and so Safe Rescue took up that journey with him.
Ben is now in foster care in Mattishall, Norfolk. He is around 8 years old and is a medium-size, overweight Crossbreed. Ben is now ready to move on to his forever home after several months. He needs an adult home with someone with a reasonable level of experience and with a resident dog(s).
Ben still has the annoying habit of chewing through his lead if not watched carefully but, other than that, he’s actually emerging into a sweet old boy who has even begun to casually ask for fuss and attention. His love for food helps to win his trust and confidence but, at some time soon, his diet and exercise regime is going to have to be addressed. This will be secondary to becoming friends.
Ben mixes well with other dogs and would like at least one other dog in his forever home. He really can’t be bothered with the cat. He will need someone patient enough to win his trust but, after a few weeks, he has the potential to be a comical and loving companion. At this point, effort will need to be made to retrieve the waistline he once had.
If you like a dog with a bit of quirk and character and appreciate a little stubbornness chucked into the mix for good measure, then Ben is the boy for you. He won’t love you overnight but you’ll enjoy the challenge of getting to that point with him and treasure the bond even more.
Please note – Safe Rescue have a policy that all dogs adopted from them must wear a slip lead on walks. Please only enquire about Safe Rescue dogs if you are happy to always use a slip lead – extendable leads are not acceptable to Safe Rescue. All dogs have to be collected and a crate must be used. Full details of their rehoming policy are on Ben’s home page here.
