If you are a fan of big, red dogs then it’s possible you are looking at your new, best friend. This is Ben.

There is no doubt about it, Ben is a big dog. He weighs 84 pounds. He is also very attractive with his red coat and muscular body.

Ben is a rugged dog. He enjoys play time with other dogs at the shelter. He also likes his walk time with his handlers. His boundless energy will help him keep up with the busy life style of an outdoor enthusiast. He is a good choice for the person that wants the secure feeling of having a large dog around and also wants a companion.

At the end of a long day, Ben will appreciate being near his person for some quiet, snuggle time.

Ben is ready to be a faithful, dependable friend and companion.
