Here's what the humans have to say about me:
Written by Benjamin Franklin, a 6-week-old, 9lb male Great Pyrenees mix.
--------------------------------------------
Are you looking for someone that is always happy? Someone who is always wearing a smile? Someone who will always cheer you up when you are down? Someone who will always do his best to bring the sunshine when its raining? If so, I hope you will choose me!
My name is Benjamin Franklin and I came to PPFT when I was only a couple of days old. My former owner was not able to care for a mom and puppies so reached out to this rescue. Thanks to my amazing foster family, PPFT was able to welcome us into their fluffy butt program. I have spent the past few weeks learning all about what being part of the family means. I am now down to just a couple more weeks and then I will be able to go home. I am very much hoping that my new family will already be waiting!
I am the kind of puppy that always tries to find the good in everything. I am perfectly happy to just chill. I am happy to play with my siblings. I am happy to cuddle. I am just a happy and sweet guy that is content to be part of a family and their activities. I do spend a lot of time lounging around and just taking everything in. Now with that said, I still have my playful moments. I think I would be happy being wherever my famil is. So, if they love going places I would be happy to accompany them. However, if they like chilling and relaxing at the house...I would be happy with that too. I would probably love walks but am not sure if I would have the stamina for long hikes. Once again, I just want to be with my people so would probably be happy with that too. I love toys and can often be found napping on them. I have not shown interest in fetch.
I am good with other dogs and love playing with my siblings and visiting with the bigger dogs. I do think it would be good for me to have another dog to help get my energy and learn from. However, if my family were home a lot and kept me well stimulated/exercised I feel I would also do well as an only dog. I have not been around any cats or kids. I am still really young so feel I would adjust to both. However, I do still have sharp puppy teeth and claws, so worry I might be a little too much for a really young kid.
Right now, I feel like I would do fine in an apartment setting. I will be a big boy though so my family will need to make sure there are no weight requirements and they have a good exercise plan in place for me. I am still a baby so am not yet potty trained. I have no experience being kenneled and currently stay in a playpen.
That is all I have to share about myself. I really hope that we are a match. In case you missed it, the app to adopt me can be found at https://www.emailmeform.com/builder/form/hx000BP7nbQvjHX49Uur80FV3
Please I am begging you though, only apply to adopt me if you can keep me forever. If you can't keep me through ALL of life's changes, don't take away my chance at forever with someone else.
Please don't be the one that makes me have to be passed around a few months/years down the line because things got "ruff". That just isn't fair to me.
I would NEVER give up on you, so please don't give up on me. I want to be your forever...not your until dog.

FROM HIS FOSTER MOM ?
~Benjamin has been voted the most content of all the siblings. He is interactive with his siblings, is a good wrestler, likes to cuddle, and likes to try new things! He loves to have a good romp, cuddle, play with toys, play with siblings, and go up to the bigger dogs and investigate. He also loves to eat but does not overindulge, and will walk away when he is full. He is a happy-go-lucky puppy!
At this stage, it seems that Benjamin would be good in any home environment.. He could fit into any situation and do well but a lot of the time he likes to be laid back and napping. As he ages things might change but at almost 6 weeks this is where he stands now. ~
