Featured Pup of the Week: Ben 🐶

Meet Ben, the 2 year old hound mix who is currently being fostered through Dorchester Paws! Sadly, Ben has been with Dorchester Paws since October of last year.

From Ben’s awesome foster family:

“Ben is a 2 year old hound who was has been at Dorchester Paws since before Halloween! How he has not found his forever yet is hard to understand. We fostered Ben for a week to give him a shelter break and decided since he was such a good boy, to continue to foster him in hopes we can help him find his forever family!🐾

-Great with kids and other dogs!
-Crate trained and house broken, goes to the door to let us know he needs to out
-He's a QUIET hound! Great for an apartment or townhouse
-Not a licker but loves to snuggle
-No separation anxiety or issues with thunderstorms."

Ben sounds like an absolute catch! To learn more about him and the other adoptable dogs and cats like him, please visit dorchesterpaws.org 💙
