Benjamin Button spent the first 18 months of his life in a puppy mill. He was relinquished due to a heart murmur. Unfortunately, his murmur is not a grade 2 as we were told, it's much worse. A Grade 5/6 murmur with enlarged heart.
Enjoying life outside of a cage for the first time in 18 months, Ben is starting to show a puppy personality. He loves cuddling and is showing interest in toys and he's already made his way to sleeping in his human's bed at night. Ben is living with four other dogs and two cats. Basically ignoring the cats, he does just fine with both big and small dogs. Benjamin has been given time off leash and readily comes when called. Though he does have a very serious heart issue, Ben gets the zoomies and runs with such great "joy". Our hope for Ben is that he is able to have quality time in a loving environment for whatever time he is given.
Applications are the first step in the adoption process. Please do not call or email simply to express interest. We are all volunteers and receiving your application saves us time and helps to determine the best match for both people and dogs.
We provide as much information as we currently have on each dog in their description. For questions on the adoption process, including fees, please review the Adoption page. If you have additional questions or are interested in adopting, please fill out an adoption application. Once we receive your application someone will be in touch to answer your questions.
We do not arrange visits to meet dogs without an application. If you'd like to meet a variety of dogs without filling out an application please attend one of our events, listed under the events link.
Thank you!
