Ben

Ben is a big, handsome 90-lb Anatolian Shepherd/Lab mix who is about 1 year old and still learning about the world around him. He came to us under-socialized, but every day he's discovering that humans can be kind, patient, and safe - and he is coming around nicely. Ben is shy with people at first and will need time, consistency, and confidence from his future adopter. He seems to be really improving on leash and does great for walks on our trails. With trust and structure, he has the potential to become both a wonderful outdoor companion and, in time, a calm indoor family member. Our professional trainer has evaluated Ben and truly believes in his potential. With the right home and continued support, Ben can blossom into a loyal and incredible dog - he just needs an adopter equipped to help him get there.

Ideal Home

Ben would thrive with an adopter who understands large guardian breeds and enjoys the outdoors. He needs a home with training experience (or a strong commitment to continued training). He is dog friendly, though needs slow introductions. Small dogs and cats are not recommended.

Ongoing Health

Ben is neutered, heartworm negative, fully vaccinated, and microchipped.

Training & Support

Ben is shy with people at first and will need time, consistency, and confidence from his future adopter. He shows progress when given guidance and wants to learn.
