Benjamin Grimm came into the shelter as a stray. He was just a pup, and his skin was in terrible condition, covered head to toe with an infection. Over the last few months he has totally transformed! His resilient spirit got him through his rough start and he has since made a full recovery. He has some scars to show his past on his face but he is determined to live a life full of joy. Ben is the perfect sized adventure companion. Hes happy in his kennel, takes directions well, walks with little resistance on the leash, and is everyones best friend. Benjamin has been on, has not been reactive on leash, and is up for a hike - but also can hang out on the cough and be content with you.
Ben is currently fostered with cats, but will chase and try to play with them, unless the adopter is committed to careful ongoing management/supervision we would prefer him to go to a cat-free home. Ben is sweet and eager to learn, especially if you have treats. He likes to take naps throughout the day and sleeps through the night. He likes all toys, but has an extra fondness of squeaky ones.
Benjamin Grimm is going to make an amazing addition to a family - he is a very good boy!
