My story

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

Meet Ben, a 5-year-old Chihuahua and Pit Bull mix who has endured the unimaginable. Despite being tragically shot by a neighbor, Ben's spirit remains unbroken. This courageous canine has a heartwarming blend of loyalty, affection, and resilience that shines through, even in the face of adversity.

Ben is currently recovering from his injuries and has partial paralysis. However, his sweet and loving nature remains undeterred. He is a gentle soul who enjoys the company of both humans and other dogs. Ben is up-to-date on his vaccinations and has a history of being kid-friendly.

While Ben requires special care, including regular medications and assistance with expressing his bladder, his wheelchair provides him with mobility and independence. We are searching for a compassionate and understanding foster home or adoptive family who can offer Ben the love, patience, and support he needs to thrive.

A donation will be offered to the adoptive family to help offset the costs of Ben's ongoing care. If you are interested in providing Ben with a loving home, please reach out to us. Let's give Ben the chance to experience the joy and companionship he deserves.
