Meet BEN
Ben is a sweet, social dog who enjoys meeting new people and is happiest once he's had a little time to settle in. While the shelter has been a bit overwhelming for him, he continues to seek out gentle interaction and enjoys staying close to his people. Ben will do best in a patient home that can give him time to decompress, introduce new experiences at his own pace, and help him build confidence.
