Profile




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.

    Thanks to all who were at Petsmart on Saturday.  It was fun to meet people that had been follow Ben's web page.  One of his admirers was nice enough to bring him a bone.  Thanks so much!  I have a attached a couple of pictures of him enjoying it.We have just been learning more and more about Ben every day.  I would say one of my favorite things about him is he is the first thing I see in the morning.  When I open my eyes, he is usually laying on the floor a few...

                   Ben just continues to be the sweetest, gentlest thing imaginable.  He needs his people!  He follows me from room to room. Sometimes he is so quiet I don't even know he is there.  I was just typing on the computer with my back to the door and I turned around and got up quickly to leave that I tripped right over Ben!  I didn't even know he was there.  He took it so well.  Wasn'...

    What else can I share about wonderful, sweet, adorable Ben?  He is just such a character.  I really could keep this boy around forever.I will tell  you though, I did learn the hard way that this guy really likes to do his business in private.  #1 is fine.  But he will not do #2  on a leash or if you are watching him.  Yea for me which means I can watch him from the window inside instead of outside in this frozen tundra that we are living in now.  That has...

        Can you say perfect companion?  I can not stress to you how wonderful and soothing it is to have Ben around. This boy is amazing and absolutely wonderful!!  As you can see from the pictures him and Cami are best friends.  He loves her!  This boy gets along with anyone and everyone!  He actually met the neighbor yorkie yesterday and he was so gentle with him.  He just let the dog keep jumping up to him and he held very still....
