Age: 18 months Gender: Male Color: Liver/White Weight: 40 lbs. Variety: Field-bred Gentle Ben! This GORGEOUS field-bred Springer has just recently come into our care and we are delighted to have him in our program. Not only is he beautiful, he is gentle and sweet. We will work very hard in finding him his perfect Forever Home. Ben had a difficult past, and as a result, he is rather shy. He is learning to trust humans again. Even in his terrified state, he has shown NO signs of aggression, or any other behavior issues. He is just a normal Springer who was down on his luck. Now things have changed for this boy, and he is safe and well-fed, and the recipient of love and attention from his foster mom. He is also a normal Springer in the sense that he seeks out love and attention. He presses his body close to yours, seeking safety and security. While petting his beautiful head, he tends to fall asleep which his foster mom interprets as Ben's level of comfort. He is starting to relax! Ben is house-trained, crate-trained, rides beautifully in the car, is good with kids, and is starting to wag his tail and play. His foster mom is delighted to see daily improvements. Could this shy, gently guy find a special place in your heart, and in your home, where he can grow comfortable and start to thrive? In time, he will be a silly Springer boy with a silly Springer grin, ready to take on the world. Right now, he is just seeking safety and security, and a family to call his own. Please consider Ben as a new family member. He would be grateful to you for the rest of his life.
