Hello, I'm Ben. My days are simple and comforting. I'm a bit shy, so I will not run up to you at first, but give me time & Treats and I will become your best friend. I do talk (growl or bark) when I greet someone, the noise comes from my mouth but my tail is wagging. Once I know you, I'll be your most loyal friend. l LOVE treats so I can learn anything if you have some good treats. I'm not a fan of little kids, they move around too much but maybe over 12 years would be good as I love to go for walks. I'm really not into playing with toys but I like gathering them and once in a while will chew on one. I'm quite independent, too. I don't need constant attention, but I'll always be there when you need me. Don't mistake my independence for aloofness though, I'm actually a very sweet and gentle boy. I have learned that other dogs my size can be friends but I can be the only also so I get all of the attention. I'm sweet as can be, and I've got a heart full of love to give. So why adopt me? Because I promise to be a calm, steadfast presence in your life, a loyal companion who will always be there for you. NO apartment life me! I might need a little patience as I adjust to new surroundings, but once I do I will be a very loyal and loving companion. To meet me (will take a couple of meetings) just fill out the application on OFOSA.ORG and my foster mom will contact you. Adopting me means gaining a friend who will cherish every moment spent with you. I am fully vetted and the adoption fee is only $320. I'm ready to spend the rest of my life in a loving home.

Meet the animals and an Adoption Counselor
Once you’ve found an animal (or two!) that you’re interested in adopting, please email us at info@ofosa.org to set up a meet and greet with the foster family who is taking care of that pet. All pets have received an examination and assessed for any health or possible behavioral concerns to the extent possible while in our care.
REQUIREMENTS: All members of the family along with any other dogs must be present to meet the new animal to make sure that everyone is compatible! Dogs must not live as outdoor pets and all animals are REQUIRED to be spayed or neutered. Certain breeds will not be adopted to apartment dwellers. We also reserve the right to refuse to place an animal in a home without a fenced in back yard. We adopt our animals based on a first come, first qualified basis. Our main concern is to match our animals with the most ideal home, the decision is based on many different factors.
Complete the adoption
If you so choose, you are able to take the pet home on the same day that you first meet them. When you’ve found a great match, it’s time to complete the adoption process! You’re welcome to ask our volunteers or fosters questions about training and for tips on helping your new pet adjust to your home.
Placing Pets on Hold: We do not place animals on hold. We adopt out on a First Come, First Qualified basis.
Medical or Behavior Consults: If the pet you’re interested in has any medical conditions, we will arrange pre-adoption consultations with our medical / clinic staff so you know what to expect.
