My personality

My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

To apply or see more of Ben, go to:
https://www.heartsforpawsrescue.com/219873/2024/5/5/ben-1


Ben was rescued from a hoarding case in Modesto, where he lived with 86 other dogs. He is decompressing and is now ready to find a home with or without other dogs. A home with an enclosed yard would be ideal for Ben, but not necessarily required.

From Ben’s previous foster: Ben has been opening up every day; he is now asking for pets and wanting to be close to cuddle. He is working on being comfortable when the humans are away but does well sleeping in his crate with a human or dog in the room. He does well with a kong as well. Ben is currently using diapers and will benefit from leash training. He is getting playful and allows full-body touch, but he doesn't love to be held just yet. However, he is comfortable being held with a blanket!

Ben is 18 lbs and described as sweet, affectionate, and playful, but may need some time to adjust to new environments due to his past experiences.



Ben is currently being fostered in SACRAMENTO, CA.


Interested in adopting?
1. Please complete our online form at heartsforpawsrescue.com/adoption-application
2. We will respond in 1-3 days for a call!
3. If it sounds like a potential match for you and the dog of interest, we will promptly set up a meet and greet at the foster home

Please note we are a foster-based rescue meaning our dogs are in individual foster homes throughout sac and the bay. For this reason we may only be able to schedule meets for one dog at a time (or litter). The average timeline between app submission and a meet and greet is 3-5 days. Please only submit an application for a specific dog if you are ready to adopt that animal within a week's time.

Our number one goal is to adopt good dogs to great homes, so that no dog is left behind. Our animals are spayed/neutered (or will be released with a voucher and agreement to provide proof of certificate within vet-approved date).

We wish for our rescue dogs to be fully immersed in your lives, and be treated like true, loved members of the family.
