About Ben
Ben is a sleek black Greyhound in Woodinville, WA looking for a roommate-style companion rather than a shadow. He likes gentle pets and a nice rubdown after walks, but heās just as content hanging out nearby while you go about your day. When youāre away, Ben will happily relax on his dog beds or a pile of clothesāno accidents, chewing, or counter-surfing here. He takes apartment life in stride, even managing stairs and elevators without issue, but he likes to have his own spot to retreat when he needs space. He does well being left alone for up to eight hours. Ben has a distinctive, charming strut on walks and happily joins you for car rides, though hiking isnāt his thingāhe tires quickly and prefers several small walks instead. While he gets along with other greyhounds and some medium-sized dogs, Ben is not a fit for homes with small dogs, cats, or children; they make him anxious. Outdoors, Ben needs ongoing, patient training to feel safe around unfamiliar dogs and peopleāhot dog pieces are his motivation when he gets nervous. He still needs guidance on resource guarding with food and toys, but heās making progress and can benefit from a patient adopter willing to continue structured training, ideally with the support of a trainer. Ben will thrive in a calm, child-free home with someone who values his independence and is ready for a soft-hearted companion with clear boundaries. Click apply to start the adoption process.
