Description:
The dogs Arcadia Animal Rescue saves are mainly located in southern states, such as NC, SC, TN and TX. We can transport to most states, through partner networks. Virtual meet n greets can be arranged for all non-local adopters.Meet Benn! As is the case with so many precious healthy pets, Benn is just a puppy and yet, he and his littermates were dumped at an overcrowded kill shelter in TX, through no fault of their own. Benn is a German Shepherd mix, about 5 mths old and a healthy 40 lbs! He is full of life and in true GSD fashion, he is goofy, sweet and loves to snuggle! Benn is very dog friendly, people friendly, housebroken, crate trained (although he doesn't really enjoy the crate), and he has pretty good recall. We think he might actually be ok with cats but need to do a full cat test as well as check out his leash skills! As he is still a puppy, relatively big already and going to get much bigger (!), he is probably a little too rambunctious and big for really little kids, he may accidentally knock them over so a home without small children is ideal. Benn has working breed DNA, so plenty of physical and mental activity, so an active family is preferred. As a puppy, Benn will require time, attention, training and socialisation with other pups. So a confident pack leader, with GSD or working breed experience, will be necessary for this pup to thrive. He will need to be house and crate trained too. Please consider all of this before you enquire about Benn. If you could open your heart and home for this young pup, please contact Shannon on 919 442 7720 ASAP! Note: Benn will be neutered prior to adoption. To apply to adopt, click on https://www.arcadiarescue.org/application. If the pet you applied for is no longer available, www.arcadiarescue.org/adopt to see all of our available pets. Note: Some pups are in boarding facilities in order to save their lives. This is far from ideal, they really need to be in loving homes. Due to record number owner surrenders this year, we have zero foster homes available. Fostering helps save another pup from euthanasia in an overcrowded kill shelter needing to free up a kennel. If you can foster, go to https://www.arcadiarescue.org/foster and fill out a foster application. Thank you!
