Ben
DOB - Nov 2008
Ben is a German Spitz who originally came into rescue because his owner had stroke and her daughter didn't like him.
He was in a home for a year, but has now been returned to rescue.
Ben is a quiet dog who loves his walks and socialises well with dogs outside the home. Indoors he prefers to live as an only dog.
Unfortunately due to a previous bad grooming experience (before coming here) where the groomer accidently cut off part of his anus with the clippers, he does not like his backend being brushed or washed so it is important that he is kept clipped as shown in the picture so he would need clipping off at least once every 8 weeks with the hair round his backend being kept short. He will need an owner who will accept that he does not like his bottom being washed and he will need someone who is strict with the rules and does not let him rule the roost. Ben needs to be muzzled when having his bottom washed.
Ben is a very affectionate and loving dog for most of the time, but has extreme fearful moments so needs a very experienced and confident adult handler.
He would suit someone who has expertise in grooming dogs.
Ben is nervy around children and would far suit an older quieter household.
He ignores cats and has no interest in cats or small caged animals.
Ben will need an enclosed garden with minimum fence height of at least four foot high.
Ben is castrated, vaccinated and microchipped, plus will receive flea and worm treatment.
A homecheck will be carried out and minimum adoption fee of £150 applies.
Ben is in Old Coulsdon, Surrey.
