ADOPT ME ONLINE: https://ophrescue.org/dogs/12742
Hi, my name is Ben and I just arrived to rescue with OPH! Read on to learn more about me:
- I am guessed to be a 2 year old Jack Russell Terrier/Feist mix and I'm petite at only 27 lbs
- I love to run! My foster mom tries to sprint with me sometimes, but she's not that fast. I'd love to have a yard where I can run around
- I LOVE getting my head and belly scratched, and snuggling with my humans. To see me feeling some head-scratch bliss, click
here!- I am GREAT at sitting and working to perfect "down"
- I’m happy to sleep in my crate at night and when my family is at work, but I prefer to hang out with the people when they are home
- I am potty trained but sometimes get so excited that I accidentally tinkle
- I love bringing my toys into my crate to play. Watch me
here!- I LOVE toys and FOOD! I'm food motivated so you can use food to teach me new tricks :)
- Sometimes I like to chase my tail and my foster mom says it is really funny. See me being silly
here!- I would do best in a home with no small children since I am still working on understanding personal space. In my foster home I like the kids 6 and over. Those little barely walking kids scare me.
- Overall? I'm a very good and lovable boy
From Ben's foster: Ben is a sweet boy with so much love to give, and it is clear that he just wants to be loved back. He has made so much progress in our time together. He will need an adopter who is patient and understands that it will take him some time to get settled in a new environment, but he promises to repay you with tons of kisses and snuggles.
This dog tested positive for heartworm disease before arriving to the rescue. The disease was treated while in foster care. Heartworm disease is transmitted to a dog through a bite from an infected mosquito. With monthly preventatives, the disease is completely preventable.
