Old man needs a spot to call his own
This is Benson. Benson and I are old friends and I love him with every inch of my being. When I am sitting out front at Satchel's and you are walking him, be prepared to have him run across the yard and jump in my lap, regardless of if you want him to or not.
I have known Benson since he was a young, less than a year old puppy, who came to Satchel's because the rescue who had him had no idea how to deal with a pushy, young Rottweiler. We helped transfer him to a Rottweiler rescue and all should have been good.
But of course, even the best laid plans have been known to fail. He was adopted out to a couple and the man absolutely adored him. Benson felt the same but the wife didn't care for Benson and at the first sign of dominance on his part, he came back to us.
Where he has been almost 10 years. Benson is now listed as a special needs dog because he has become very protective of his home and his things. He would do great with a single person who has Rottweiler experience. Benson has great obedience skills but you have to make him mind you with a commanding voice, not a harsh touch. He should be with me but does not do well with other dogs.
What he really needs is a single, calm household, where no one is trying to love on him or grab him. He will come to you if he wants attention, otherwise, give him a nice, comfy bed and leave him alone. He is also very housebroken, loves car rides, walks well on a leash and is a pretty good old man but he is not a cuddlebug.
If you would be interested in giving this old man a nice place to spend his last few years, please contact Satchel's Last Resort. You can also call 941-924-5070 or email info@satchelslastresort.org.
Although he considers Satchel's his home he deserves a human of his own and a house of his own to spend his last years with. Are you that human?
Thank you for reading.
