You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website. To apply to adopt this dog now, complete our adoption application   HERE To see our upcoming events where you can meet some of our dogs, please see   HERE Age: 11 months (as of 12/18/25) Weight: 62 lbs (as of 12/18/25) This dog has been spayed/neutered, is up to date on shots, on heartworm preventative and is microchipped. Meet Ben, a sweet and playful pup eagerly waiting for a family to call his own. Known for his friendly demeanor, Ben is the epitome of happiness and goofiness. He's not only smart and playful but also incredibly cuddly, making him the perfect companion for family cuddle sessions. Ben enjoys the company of other dogs and adores children, though he's a bit too fond of chasing cats. He can get excited when meeting new people and may jump and potential adopters with young kids should keep this in mind. He is a smart boy that is house trained, crate trained and walks great on the leash. Basic group training classes is recommended to help him learn new commands, socialize with other humans and dogs, as well as build that fur-ever bond with you! His happy-go-lucky attitude makes every day brighter. Adopt Ben, and bring home boundless joy and playful companionship. Ben’s story: He was found as a stray. His finders wanted to keep him with his happy-go-lucky personality but already have three dogs. Medical Note: This dog has tested positive for exposure to ehrlichia.
