Ben is a young mastiff cross. He is about a year old and is neutered. Ben is a very big boy with wonderful qualities. Ben is amazing on a leash and does great with heel. He is extremely treat motivated and loves his kennel. He is housetrained and rings a bell to go to the potty. He takes treats gently. He is good with cats that don't run - even if they run he will chase but is not aggressive. He loves other dogs but does need to be introduced properly. Ben loves to be cuddled by his people.  Ben needs a specific type of home as he is terrified of strangers. He needs a home that is relatively quiet and doesn't have people he doesn't know coming in and out all day long. He is not a dog you would take to a dog park (although he loves to run and play with other dogs) or to anyplace where there would be strange folks wanting to meet him. In his home and safe place, Ben is relaxed and happy with his immediate family. Ben is a special dog in need of a special home. If interested, please complete an application.
