My story

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


husky/German shepherd mix that is left over from a failed marriage, was rescued from small town in Missouri as a puppy, otherwise litter was going to be abandoned. Dog was for the husband(who is gone) who abused him, leaving it with me and my two frail grandparents. Ben is bigger than me and overpowers me, and i'm currently recovering from a fractured nose and concussion he gave me from tackling me a couple days ago. I cannot control him and have no money for trainers, but i cannot stomach putting him anywhere where he will be euthanized. He gets along with other animals, but his energy and presence is hurting my cats. I don't have money and am trying to work, but the recent injury is hurting my ability to put in hours.

He is a sweet dog, but is just too much dog for my current living situation and I have nowhere to turn. He's 14 months old now. He should have his own domain where he can be free to live and love life with someone that can train him properly. he rides well in cars.
