Hello! My name is Big Ben, the shelter gave me this name because I am such a big boy! I’m a super sweet boy, I’m incredibly nice, but the shelter workers say I need some help with confidence building. I don’t know a lot of tricks, but I know that with some reward based training I will learn quickly and I will surely impress you and make you very proud! I’m just a sweet boy who is looking for a new life that’s full of love and stability. I haven’t gotten much of that in the past, and I think it’s about time I deserve a home where my people will love me just as much as I love them!
"BIG BEN" is one of MCAS's priorities right now, BEN is quickly losing weight, suffering from coccidia, and the stress of kennel life makes it difficult for all dogs to overcome illnesses. BEN urgently needs to get out of the shelter and into a home where he can de-stress, get well, and find his forever family. If you can foster BEN please step forward and fill out an application. http://multcopets.org/foster
BIG BEN needs a loving forever home where he can be king. He is a strong fellow and responds supremely to reward training games. He is looking for a savvy dog lover who is dedicated to force free training, keeping BEN safe and healthy.
The shelter asks that we take positive training classes as part of my adoption to get us started off on the right foot!
My stats: I am a 75 pound, neutered male, American Pit Bull Terrier-American Staffordshire Terrier mix.
