Funny you should ask , I just got an e-mail from someone asking about him we'll see.....

[shredy]

That this is his new family!! Let me ask you though, after having him for so long, are you really going to be able to see him go??

[Frenchy]

I would love to keep him , but if i do , I wouldn't be able to foster anymore. 4 dogs under my care is enough for me I am not getting too excited about the e-mail for him tough. So many people contacted me for him , but there's always something , either they find him too old , or , after I explained about him and stairs / slippery floors , they are not interested anymore. :sad: But we never know ...... we may find the perfect family for him , and he may stay here.

Frenchy..my girlfriend who is involved GSD rescue here always has 4 dogs..just like yourself....3 out of the 4 they have kept.....One of them is a golden named Briar! he is the sweetest dog....Well anyway, I showed her Ben and her heart melted...she thought he would be great around Briar because Ben is older and so is Briar but she said the exact same thing...she wouldnt be able to help out amymore as she would have a full house!! She has had some amazing fosters over the years...Briar was to be a seeing eye dog but he failed because he ended up having cataracts so they returned him to her because she origionally trained him....Plus she has a few stairs and some slippery floors..Someone will come along for Ben I just know it!!

Thanks Winston , I do hope we find the right family , the longer he's here , the more I get attach. It gets hard sometimes. But he will stay as long as he needs to.

We never know what the future holds for him

Awww, poor Ben :sad:. I am so happy he found such a great foster mom and I'm sure his new forever home will find him soon .

[Tara2221]

Where is this dog located presently ????:

[luckypenny]

In the Monteregie region approx. 30 minutes from Montreal. Frenchy should be online shortly to answer any of your questions or you may want to pm her. Thank you for inquiring.

[Frenchy]

That's right LP , Tara2221 , I'm fostering Ben and I live about 30 minutes from either Champlain or Mercier Bridge. I just sent you a pm with a little bit more details.

for Ben

[Frenchy]

bump bump , Ben is still looking for his forever home ....

[Shaykeija]

We all hope he finds the perfect home soon.....

[Frenchy]

It's time for x-mas parties and family gatherings so I'm hoping you guys could keep your ears open , we never know , maybe you'll hear about someone looking to adopt a wonderful golden oldie !

[SARAH]

He is just so cute, I love his face! And not overweight like so many older Goldens (and Labs too) - it's their food-motivation I guess. Benji, you'll get a home, I just know it! And I can't understand how ANYONE would leave him at the side of the road criminals!

Yep , puppy face on a mature dog body , one who doesn't need training , one who only wants to cuddle with you and please you.

[rainbow]

It's hard to believe that Ben hasn't found a home yet......how can anyone resist that adorable face? I hope he finds a forever home soon.

[Frenchy]

I sometimes get 1-2 inquiries for Ben , per week. But it's never the right family for him. :sad: Until tonight .... OMG ! Please , we need all the we can get ! This couple only rescue older dogs , huge fenced yard in the country , huge house with mostly carpet , even carpeted stairs !!! Dog walker to take them out at lunch. The best thing about it , they know another volunteer from our rescue , who's a vet tech. I called her and she confirmed everything. Now I have to find time to go do a visit with Ben , it's 2 hours from my place , will try to go this week end.

I am so happy This is more than I ever asked for.

[TeriM]

Woohoo, they sound perfect. We'll definately be keeping all of our fingers and paws crossed here for Ben and you.

[Rottielover]

Well fingers are going to be crossed that ben will find his furever home this weekend

[14+kitties]

all of them!!!
Good Luck Frenchy and Ben!!!!!!!!!!!!

[JanM]

I hope and pray that Ben and this family are perfect for each other!

[rainbow]

It sounds like the perfect home for Ben.

Lots of good wishes coming from the Rainbow House.

[hazelrunpack]

This couple sounds absolutely perfect, Frenchy! We've got all our and a whole bunch of crossed s for luck!

[otter]

With all those 's and 's crossed this is sure to work out .

We're adding in our 12 's and 10 fingers and 10 toes crossed for this to be Ben's forever home.

Please let the couple know that Ben has many supporters who are cheering him on!

It's time for Ben to get a great home Frenchy, so you can get more time with Sam. Sounds like good timing and a great forever home potential.

[chico2]

Oh Frenchy,that would be great,we will certainly keep everything crossed for Ben,that means leftovers for dinner
With a 2-hour drive though,be really careful,we don't want you ending up in a ditch...:goodv ibes:

[Ford Girl]

Good luck and keep us posted! Tell Ben to put on his bestest smile and quickest wiggle butt!!! We will all be thinking about Ben you you!!!

[CearaQC]

Wow that sounds perfect!

[SARAH]

Crossing and 16 a and 4 arms and legs... even the 4 car tires if it didn't make it impossible to drive!

[Frenchy]

They were working today but will come here next Saturday to meet with Ben. Hopefully , they will take him home. they just want to make sure their dogs and Ben will get along. I know Ben will do fine. This is going to be a very long week ......
