Here's what the humans have to say about me:
The good, the bad, and the ugly. We always believe in honesty about our adoptables. Benny is good 93.7% of the time. Ben rears his bad and ugly head about 6.3% of the time. He has made such improvements, and we anticipate he will continue to improve. Until then, here he is in all his glory....From his foster family:
"Are you looking for a little variety in your life? Have you been BEGGING your significant other to adopt TWO dogs but they are only in agreement to adopt one? Well have we got the dog for you! Meet Ben and Benny. (Kind of like Jekyll and Hyde) Benny is an amazing 8 year old terrier mix of goofy love and ball playing. He is an excellent time keeper and will help keep your day on schedule with reminders at 8am and 5p that it is meal time. Once you earn his trust you can hold Benny like a baby, he will sleep on your chest and nuzzle under your chin for snuggles galore. Benny is house trained and crate trained. Benny loves to hang out with his doggie friends and is cat friendly. He's obsessed with balls and he is NOT a night owl. He likes to put himself to bed sometime between 8:00 and 9:00pm, after that he gets cranky, like a Gremlin.
Now let’s meet Benny’s other half, Ben….. ya see Ben came to us as a stray so we aren’t sure of his history. We are assuming someone or something caused a bit of trauma for Ben. Why do we say this? Well, let’s just put it this way… Ben can be a bit of an asshole. Now it's likely not his fault, but as it’s happening, you won’t be thinking “poor Ben”. You’re going to be thinking, “what an asshole!” But the moment passes quickly once you learn Ben’s little triggers and how to handle them (without getting murdered) and he will reveal Benny once again. I didn’t think it would be possible but over time we have now come to love and adore both Ben and Benny and appreciate each of them for who they are. We even have a good laugh at how psychotic "the Ben teeth" ? look when on full display. It’s quite the look. ? Someone, somewhere is out there, that is also going to find the same appreciation for this guy and be willing to work with his split personality and give him the life he deserves. Hopefully over time he will overcome whatever he has lived through and slowly Ben will shrink away forever, and Benny will be able to shine always. He has already made so much progress with love and patience."
We've had Benny neutered, vaccinated, microchipped, etc. His adoption fee is $150.
Because he has him moments of crankiness, we would not recommend him for a home that his little humans in it, as they may not understand when to give Benny his personal space. He does live with a dog savvy teenager without issue.

Their adoption process
Additional adoption info
Our adoptions start with an application and approval process. Most of our adult dogs have an adoption fee of $250, regardless of how much medical attention they have received (some of them cost us substantially more than that, all of our rescues are thoroughly vetted and treated for any illness before being adopted out). You must be 21 adopt from us.
We prefer a fenced in yard but it's not required. All people in the household must be present for adoption and we request that you at least spend 45 minutes with the pet of your choice before making the commitment to take them home
EVERY adoption includes spay or neuter. Check around; not everyone includes the price of surgery, even if it's required. Our donation for dogs also includes: first shots, heartworm test if over 6 months, and rabies shot (at time of surgery if too young). Most are also microchipped. Cats come with surgery cost included, first shots, FIV test, and nail trim. We do NOT allow our cats to be declawed!
