🐾 BEFORE YOU APPLY FOR BEN, PLEASE READ ABOUT HIS REQUIREMENTS 🐾
Ben is a lovely Labrador X who is looking for a very special home, being a Labrador we are sure he will get a fair bit of interest and we want to make sure his future family is fully prepared for what he needs. ❤️
Ben is a boy who lacks confidence, particularly when meeting new people. Because of this, he will need an adopter who is patient, understanding and willing to put the time into building his trust. He won't be a dog who can simply meet you once and head home. Several meets will be needed before Ben is ready to leave us, allowing him to get to know you and feel comfortable in your presence.
The good news is that Ben is great with other dogs! 🐶 He really enjoys canine company, and we'd love to find him a suitable doggy companion in his new home — ideally a female dog who can help give him confidence and provide some companionship.
Ben came into our care as a stray, so unfortunately we have no history of his life before arriving with us. We don't know what he has experienced or what he may have been through, and therefore we can't predict exactly how he will respond to every situation once he is in a home environment. His new family will need to understand this and be prepared to take things at his pace.
We have spent lots of time working with Ben in our bedsit, which gives him an environment similar to a home. He has done really well and is showing us what a lovely boy he can be. However, he can still have moments where he becomes over-excited, this can be through humping and nipping at times and he will need someone who can calmly and consistently help him learn boundaries, appropriate behaviour and when it's time to settle down. A quieter set up may be a more beneficial option for Ben.
We feel Ben would be particularly suited to a home with land and plenty of space. He does have some guarding instincts and would absolutely love having his own safe space to wander, explore and enjoy. 🌳
Ben isn't looking for a quick or easy placement. He is looking for someone who will understand him, be patient with him, work with him and give him the time he needs to flourish.
If you think you can meet Ben's requirements and provide the right home for him, please fill out an adoption form. If we feel your home could be a suitable match for Ben, we will be in touch. 🐾
Let's find this special boy the home he deserves. ❤️
