Benz is in urgent need of a new home. He was brought into our care due to owner's circumstances and is currently on the at-risk list for medical reasons. Suffering from CIRDC and possibly pneumonia, Benz requires a calm environment where he can heal without the stress of shelter life. His anxiety and fear have led to him being less receptive to handling, though he does allow some petting before becoming anxious. An experienced adopter willing to use positive reinforcement techniques is essential. Benz will need time to adjust and a loving space to recover fully. He is a large male mixed breed weighing around 78 lbs. This is a critical time for him, and he needs someone who understands how to provide behavioral support before considering a permanent home for him. Every animal deserves a happy ending. This one starts with you.
