They are waiting with paws crossed! Apply now! Meet Ben, a sweet and lovable beagle mix who thrives in a calm, relaxed environment. Nearly four years old, Ben offers the ideal blend of adventure and laid-back companionship. With low to medium energy, he relishes daily walks or hikes but is equally content lounging in the house, especially in sunny spots. Ben is crate trained, house trained, and well-mannered—he doesn't chew or destroy household items. He knows basic commands and walks beautifully on a leash. Creek splashing and tug-of-war are among his favorite activities, and he’s always motivated by a tasty treat. Ben forms strong bonds with his people and cherishes affection, cuddles, and pets. He flourishes in a home with a steady routine and minimal hustle and bustle—high-energy children or loud households can overwhelm him. Patient introductions to new people are essential, and he’s particularly sensitive around his lower back and hindquarters. Respectful children are welcome, provided they understand his need for gentle interaction. He generally ignores other dogs outside but prefers not to have them approach closely while on leash. Ben would do best with someone who values daily walks, quiet companionship, and a predictable environment. In return, he will offer unwavering loyalty, warm snuggles, and a gentle presence to brighten your home. Ready to fall in love? Hit apply and lets get started.
