About Benson (On trial 7/1/15)
Benson is a 4yr old maltese x Shih Tzu. He is a very sweet dog that is really starting to blossom. When he first arrived he was timid and avoided contact. But now he has a smile and bounces around and plays with the other dogs. His confidence keeps on growing and its heart warming to see a playful easy going dog emerging.
Benson is a quiet dog who is a follower and not a leader. He is not aggressive. He has missed out on a lot in his short life and needs someone understanding to be gentle and patient with him so he can continue developing his confidence.
He would love to be a part of a family and be doted upon.
Benson is an indoor dog and sleeps in his doggy bed. He is a good boy who is now waiting patiently for his new life to begin with his new family.
If you think you can put the time in and provide Benson a loving safe and secure home for the rest of his life, please contact Lucyann via email at blackorchid7@hotmail.com.au
Benson's adoption fee is only $400 and includes his desexing, vaccinations, flea and worm treatments, microchipping, and lifetime registration. You can see all our available dogs at www.dogrescuenewcastle.com.au
Adoption details
(1) The first step is to phone or email the foster carer listed on the pet's profile (scroll to the bottom on the description). They can answer your questions and will ask you about the sort of home you are offering and may ask you to fill in our Adoption Questionnaire http://www.dogrescuenewcastle.com.au/adopt/adoptionquestionnaire.rtf.
(2) If the questionnaire is approved you can arrange to meet the pet, usually at the foster carer's home or nearby.
(3) If that goes well we will arrange a property check so we can verify that your home and yard are suitable for the pet you've selected. We will ask to see photo ID.
(4) If both sides agree, then you can pay for and adopt your new family member! The two week trial begins on the day of adoption.
