Ben ARP
Listen up! Ben is on the hunt for his forever home! Whilst he is still young and lacking a little bit of confidence in the world, we have no doubt he will shine as a pet in the right home. Due to his quiet and cautious nature we think he will be better suited to a home with teens or just adults, eithe by himself or another calm, respectful and polite dog of any size to show him the ropes and a backyard to relax in is a must. Are you sweet Ben's new family!?
This dog is part of our Assisted Rehoming Program (ARP). We have behavioural and health assessed this lovely dog, and they will remain with their racing owners until they find an adoptive home, at which point they are brought back into GAP. This means that should you be interested in adopting this dog, we are bringing the dog into GAP on the understanding that you will be adopting this particular dog, and not other dogs currently in our care.
