This sweet, gentle boy is Ben. We think he is about 1 year old and we believe he is a Spaniel and Shepherd mix. He is a sweet dog that loves to be loved on- he will happily lean into you, roll on his back for belly rubs, and eagerly accept all the pets and attention you want to give. He also makes an excellent buddy for outings- breweries, restaurants, coffee shops, this guy just curls up quietly and is happy to go with you, even ignoring rowdy kids and dogs nearby! For such a young guy he's on the mellower side, but he does like to play with toys and run around with other dogs. Ben's foster mom reports he seems to have been in a home before and recognizes some of the comforts of home- like the sound of plates in the kitchen. He seems to be house trained and is familiar with a dog door, and he sleeps quietly in his crate at night. He is eager to learn and likes treats, which he takes very gently, but is picky about his food. Ben walks nicely on leash and seems to know sit, but is still working on learning everything else including his name! Ben is also still learning the difference between his toys and shoes, but he responds quickly to gentle correction. Ben is a gentle dog and took a few days to start to get comfortable in his foster home, although he did bond to his foster mom quickly, so he's looking for a forever home who will give him the time to settle in and get to know you before expecting his playful spirit to come out.
