AVAILABLE SOON: Ben is a fair-sized young man, about 18 - 20 pounds, with a beautiful build, a red smoothcoat with dark accents, and a very quiet, observant personality. Ben doesn't get agitated easily, he just sort of takes in the world calmly and takes a break now and then to share a little attention from his people. Ben is smart, mellow, and wants to please. Unfortunately, his availability is slightly delayed while he receives treatment for heartworm. However, there should be no lasting complications at all with a dog this young and otherwise healthy.
