Default Featured Dog~Gentle Ben

Gentle Ben (American Pit Bull Terrier Mix)
Gentle Ben has had a tough life, and doesn't let it bother him one bit. He loves people and is a very calm, sweet, lovable boy. Ben loves getting a bath, being groomed and getting his treats. Ben is neutered, microchipped, vaccinated, and other than being lost on the streets and having gotten beat up a couple of times, is in good health. Ben walks nicely on a leash and really enjoys being with you. He will lay quietly by your side if you are talking to someone or if you are watching TV. Ben just wants to be with you. He is a wonderful dog who would make any family happy.










We are in desperate need of funds. We have 8 dogs that had to be boarded due to the fire evacuations. We didn't know that we could have taken them to shelters for free boarding.

We had already taken them to boarding when we heard of that, however, don't know how comfortable I am at taking rescued dogs to a shelter. At any rate, we have a monster of a bill to pay for the boarding of 8 dogs, some of which cost more due to meds being given.

These dogs were in foster homes and people were ordered out of their homes with no place to go. The cost is $30 a day for 3 of them and $20 a day for the other 5! Plus we had two dogs that needed surgery that ended up costing $1900 for one and $650 for the other! I don't know what we are going to do. The boarding was not something that we planned on and for that matter, neither were the surgeries.

One of the surgeries was one of the Orange doggies that had a quarter size fast growing tumor on his neck that we had to remove immediately. We are having it tested for cancer. Keep you fingers crossed. We were not aware of the tumor and he just showed up with it and of course, we had to help him right away. Any way, we need help. Please route to anyone who might be able to make a small donation. I am VERY sensitive to all the needs of the fire victims so I do NOT want to offend anyone in asking for help for the doggies when people need help. I understand if folks just don't have the capability to help us but anything would be greatly appreciated.

Why do they think he's a mix? He looks pretty darn true/solid to me.
