About Bensen

Calm and gentle, he thrives in the company of his humans, happy to accompany you on relaxed outings or just cozy up at home. As a senior, Bensen does have specific needs. He’s dealt with a previous CCL rupture, so he’ll require ongoing joint care and supplements to stay comfortable. Additionally, he has some allergies that his new family will need to manage. In exchange for a little extra TLC, Bensen offers a world of love. He’s been social with other dogs in playgroup but would prefer a home without small dogs or cats.
