Benjammin is an 8-month-old mix, mostly Heeler, with striking black and white markings and those soulful, sad eyes that have a habit of earning him extra affection. Underneath his shyness is a gentle nature best matched with older children—he’s just a little too timid for the chaos that often comes with younger kids. Benjammin’s story starts in a tough spot, rescued from a hoarding situation near Grants, New Mexico alongside his brothers. Now fostered near Ramah, he’s finding his footing. He does well on leash walks and is a calm ride-along in the car—but don’t expect him to hop out and play with cats. He’s too nervous around them, though he gets along splendidly with other dogs. Benjammin is medium-sized, somewhere around 30–35 pounds, with a steady, moderate energy and confidence level. At this point, he’s not house trained, but he’s eager for the right guidance. He’s neutered, fully vaccinated, and dewormed—ready for a fresh start. Benjammin is waiting to meet someone who gets his pace. Your new best friend is just one click away.
