Ben

My story

Meet Ben! Ben is a 9-10 year old Cocker Spaniel/Poodle mix. Such a good boy! He came into rescue when his family could no longer care for him, and it was clear that he had been neglected for a while. He is now thriving in his foster home and has turned into a really happy boy. Ben came in to us at 42.7 pounds and is now down to 35 pounds and has another 8-9 pounds to lose. He is generally low maintenance/low energy. Housebroken (is used to a doggie door). Good with other dogs and kids. Sweet and calm. Rarely barks. Already fixed and we have brought him up to date on vaccines and testing. Ben does have some minor medical issues, some acute, some chronic: Partial hearing loss, hypothyroidism (which requires daily medication costing approximately $5/month), adenomas (large cysts, which will hopefully be surgically removed), ear infection, skin infection and some bronchial issues. We are hoping that once his infections clear, he will be able to have surgery to remove the adenomas and have a dental at the same time. Applications for Ben are available at www.chesed-rescue.org/adoptions. We background and vet check all applicants and are looking for stable homes. We are also grateful for any donations we receive for Ben's care. August 1, 2025, 5:36 pm
