He was found in a field--cold, dirty, hungry & alone. He just needs someone to love him and someone for Ben to give love & companionship in return.This is the most recent information available; however, it may change as we learn more about the dog.


Hi everybody.  I am at a new place & I like it a lot.  I get to be in the house with my choice of comfy dog beds, good food at regular times AND yummy treats, a great fur foster brother and this lady who told me I could call her Mommy while I am here.  Someday, I hope to get my very own Mom or Dad.
They call me this funny name Benny or Ben or sometimes Benjamin, but I found out good things happen when I answer when they call.
Foster Mom Here -- yes, Benny's story is a sad one.  He was found in a field: cold, wet, dirty, & hungry.  He was taken to a shelter and rescued by RAGOM and now lives with us in Iowa.
If Ben was dumped or simply lost, we do not know.  He is an older boy, at least ten, 72 lbs. red-gold & kinda like his foster Mom, doesn't see or hear the best.  The first week he was here, Ben would almost panic if he couldn't see me--running around the house searching.  I guess he was afraid I was leaving him.  He had a couple potty incidents & a rummaging through the kitchen trash. Benny is older and with that comes wisdom & he now realizes good food is always here and I won't leave him forever.
Ben walks nicely with a spring to his step on a flat collar, potties quickly when he goes outside (unlike bro Jackson who has to circle 23 times to find the perfect blade of grass!).
Benny greets everyone of every age with a tail wag & a smile & LOVES belly rubs.  He is interested in squirrels & bunnies, do not know yet about cats.
The perfect home is going to take a special someone.  If you are looking for an easy companion that is happy with short walks, will love you unconditionally and is happy to be by your side, then Ben is your guy.  He has perfect house manners but I do not think think he has had alot of interaction with his previous family.  I've taught him to sit and that's his entire trick repertoire.  He loves pets, greets you merrily but he is not a cuddle bunny.  I believe that will come with time & trust.  If you are looking to help and love and be adored by an older gentleman, inquire about Mr. Ben.
Benny has had his shots, is micro-chipped, needs yet to be neutered & his beautiful fur coat is already improving with proper nutrition.  Yep, Ben has come a long way in just a couple of weeks.
