Ben 09-069 is a Golden Retriever/Newfoundland/Pyrenees mix. He is 6 years old and neutered. He is a big boy at about 110 pounds.  He went to the vet today and is in perfect health!  The only thing she did say was to lose 20 pounds.

Ben is such a sweetie!!  He has come into our house and has made himself at home.  My resident dog really likes having him around as he is another playmate for her!  He is very gentle and has a very sweet disposition.  I don't think he realizes how big he is though when he tries to explore small spaces.  Cams, my resident is not intimidated by this boy in the least.  She loves that he showers her with lots of kisses and is always coming up to lick her face and ears.  She likes that he realizes she is a princess!

Ben is very playful and full of energy. He doesn't seem to get into anything he shouldn't.  I have yet to hear him bark. He also has a very mellow side to him. He has this thing where if he is very excited he will try and hump a pillow. He settles down quickly down quickly though. He also does drool sometimes as well. That is it though for his faults. This guy is awesome and so easy to have around!!!!

He has free roam and doesn't get into anything. He hasn't had an accident either.

Thanks to all who met him at Petco today! He was great there and was kid and toddler tested and passed with flying colors. He is very gentle and very sweet!! The chaos of having other dogs around did not phase him in the least.
 What else can I tell you about this bundle of love? He is great in the car, he heels nicely for me on walks.  He does very well with his gentle leader. He is even perfect trimming toenails!  Not a peep!  He just holds up his paw and lets us get to work. This guy is so great!! If you are interested in meeting him, please email placement@ragom.org.
