Ben is an 18-month-old mixed terrier with a short, fawn and apricot coat. Weighing in as a medium-sized dog, he arrived at the shelter after being found wandering on his own and, despite his sweet nature, no one stepped forward to claim him. The shelter environment is a bit much for Ben—he tends to be shy and nervous amid all the noise and commotion, but he keeps a close eye on people and doesn't miss much. His intelligence and attentiveness come through even when he’s unsure; with some patience in a quieter space, he’s sure to open up. Ben’s looking for someone ready to show him how good a loyal companion can have it. Born June 5, Ben is a sociable Gemini, which means he’s got a curious and gentle side just waiting to connect.
