About Bennett
**Bennett is doing really well in care, and the following is an update from his carer:
Bennett's update is that he is now having two sloppy meals a day and his megaesophagus is causing no other health issues. Since he has got healthier he has shown that he needs high secure fences.
He has not lived with cats. He is very food focused and very excitable at times so not suitable to a family with children under 12.
He loves swimming but his bad recall means he has to be on a long lead. Bennett loves life and just wants his human to be around a lot .**
Bennett is a dog who had done it tough for a while and came in to the pound as a stray very thin.
His breed is unknown but looks like a Retriever X and certainly has their personality. We think he is around 12 -18 months but learning the joys of being a dog as he has had a tough life.
After being desexed he became very ill and was diagnosed with Megaesophagus and an infection. He is on a special diet now and needs frequent smaller feeds that are liquidised so that food does not get stuck in the pocket he has in esophagus. He cannot have ordinary treats.
He has come a long way and is leading a happy healthier life.
He lives with a few other dogs and loves playing. He needs good fences and his scenting instincts mean he is not let off lead in unfenced areas as has poor recall. Bennett has been meeting a few other dogs and behaves well on the halti lead.
He loves people and just wants to be loved. He has been living inside and behaves well. Loves travelling in the car. He just needs a home that can give him a bit more time for his feeding and prepared to give him training.
He melts hearts and makes people smile.
Dogs with this condition can live long healthy lives.
