Ben – 12 week old male Lurcher
Hi, I’m Ben, a 12 week old Lucher boy. I was found wandering the streets and taken to the dog pound where I served my 7 days and was to be put to sleep! Someone kind rescued me and took me to the Rescue kennels and, after a few days of trying, they managed to get me through the snow to my new foster home in time for Christmas. In that 12 day period I had very little human or animal contact and for the first 24 hours in my foster home I admit I did go a little bit mental! I then realised that I was safe and began to settle in.
I am very bright and love to be trained for treats. My name has been changed to Ben and I come when I am called. I also can sit and lie down to command. I learned this in half an hour! I am really trying hard with my toilet training and have had only a few accidents and they were by the back door, which was not open in time. I was really scared of the dark and of being outside but now I go out into the garden and play with my foster dog Molly who makes me brave. I was also bothered by the car and was sick the first journey but now I sit and look out of the window as I am usually going somewhere nice.
All in all I think I am a super little boy with lots of potential. I will be quite big as I have long legs and big feet, but I also have a lovely soft coat and a wonky ear which make me rather adorable! I would love to be in a forever home where I was given lots of love and attention and lots of training and cuddles. I need to be kept on my toes as I am bright and get bored without interesting things to see and do.
I also need company as I don’t like being left on my own for long. I have met other dogs and puppies and that was great – I was well behaved. I have also met 3 cats and they were boring so I ignored them. I sleep and eat in my crate and enjoy going in and out of it to play. My foster mum sometimes keeps me in there to sleep in the day which is good as I need to rest as I can be a bit boisterous sometimes.
Please ring Linda or Pip if you want to meet me – I know I will not disappoint you. Love Ben.
