Benson

My story

PLEASE READ BENSON’S BIO IN DETAIL TO ENSURE THAT HE WILL BE A GOOD FIT FOR YOU AND YOUR LIFESTYLE BEORE APPLYING. PEASE NOTE: BENSON IS BEING FOSTERED IN THE OTTAWA, ON AREA We at All Paws Matter believe in the benefits of post-adoption training for our dogs and their families. This allows for continued socialization, learning and helps to create a well-mannered and balanced dog. This is now a requirement in our adoption process. Proof of training classes for puppies specifically is required before adoption. NAME: Benson Age: 3 years Breed: Mexi-Mix Sex: Male Weight: 20-25 lbs Location: Ottawa, ON Adoption fee: $600.00 Spayed/Neutered: Yes Leash trained: Work in progress House trained: Yes Kids/Cats/Dogs: Yes - dogs, dog savvy cats - yes, children 6+ Vetting: Up to date on all vaccination, sterilized, microchipped, 4dx tested: negative for Heart worm. Currently on flea/tick/heart worm prevention, dewormed and vet checked before arriving. Medical Issues: None Comes with 4 weeks free pet insurance (after initial vet visit) Benson has energy to burn, he may be an adult but he acts like a puppy, I guess that’s what living life on the streets can do to you. He is cute and affectionate, yet can chill when he is finally completed exerting all his energy. He loves his toys and hoards them in his crate. In his “down time” he loves to cuddle with his foster mama with his leg crossed regally across her lap. . Benson is very much still a puppy and benefits from going for runs in the backyard and long walks in order to be on his best behaviour. He can be “mouthy” with people, especially when excited. He loves being outside, and loves his walks, playing fetch and lots of cuddles. Benson is food motivated and eager to learn. Professional obedience classes will be a must for him, not only because he needs proper guidance, but because he will enjoy and thrive in the structured and social atmosphere that a class can offer. He requires durable toy chew toys not stuffies as he could rip those apart in no time. Benson is house trained and crate trained and his ideal family would be an active one who would love to take him on many adventures, camping, hiking, etc.. A fenced in yard where he can expend some of that energy would be wonderful. No apartments or condos as he can be vocal when excited. Benson gets along well with dogs and loves to play so a senior dog may not like it, he is also fine with dog savvy cats. Children 6+ because os his energy would be best, Although he is an energetic boy, he loves to settle as well.

Home changes and adopter personalities can bring out different behaviours not previously seen. We also do not claim or suggest that our dogs are hypo-allergenic or that they shed/do not shed. BREED DISCLAIMER: We are never sure of the breed of our dogs since they arrive off the streets or shelters. It is a guess only!
