Meet Benny! He is somewhere between 11-12 years old, 15-20lbs, and looking for his forever home. The vet believes he is some sort of hound, or maybe beagle, mix. Recently, Benny had an episode and we were informed he has a heart condition. His heart is enlarged but surgery is not an option at his age. From his foster mom: "Benny is one of the sweetest boys ever! Whoever adopts him will fall in love. He does have a little separation anxiety, and will bark for a while when left alone, even with other dogs in the house with him. He lets it be known he is not content without a human nearby. He is very loyal and bonds easily. When you leave him and return, he likes to vocalize his happiness for your return- he moans and groans while happily wagging his tail. He gets along well with all the other dogs and cats on my property. He is forever grateful for the teeth cleaning and dental. He has healed from the removal of 11 teeth, but is capable of eating dry dog food, but really prefers a little canned food or yogurt added to his plate. He either sleeps in the bed with me or on the couch at night. If I take him to the barn with me, he follows every step I take, until he figures out I am not going to run off and leave him, then he relaxes and lays around either in the shade or sun. Benny is a great car buddy. He enjoys going for half mile or 50 mile rides, as long as someone will give him an ear rub every now and then. He is ok with older kids, men, women and cats." Benny has arrived in New England and is ready for his forever home! Please note: We do not have a physical facility and the dogs are not located in Hudson, NH. We are a foster-based rescue and dogs can be located anywhere in New England. All adopters must be pre-approved to arrange a meet and greet, and the adopter is expected to travel to the dog's location. We do not transport once the dogs arrive in New England. Applications must be submitted at HarveysHope.org for consideration. We estimate it will be 1-2 weeks before you hear from one of our volunteers. Thank you! show less
