About Benjamin Franklin

Benjamin Franklin showed up in Marietta, OH after being found wandering alone. He’s a 2-year-old male Chocolate Labrador Retriever mix with a glossy brown coat, big floppy ears, and striking brown eyes accented by a milk chocolate nose. At about medium size, Benjamin sports a lean frame and a long, expressive tail. He came in without a collar or microchip—no one has stepped forward yet to claim him. Despite this rough start, Benjamin deserves a patient, committed adopter who can show him the ropes, as he’s not house trained. If you recognize this dog or have any tips about his family, reach out to the shelter, but if not, consider giving Benjamin the stable home he’s waiting for. He was born June 1, so that makes him a bright, curious Gemini pup. Ready to meet your new best friend? Apply now!
