My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Ben’s journey has been one of resilience and transformation. Rescued from a Sumner County hoarding case in the fall of 2023, Ben started his new life shy and shut down at the boarding facility. But everything changed when he found a foster home just before Christmas. Over the past eight months, Ben has blossomed into a loving, playful, and happy family dog!

This sweet boy adores playing fetch with his foster family’s toddler and snuggling on the couch with his foster mom. He’s a fan of stuffed toys and cozy blankets, treating them with care. Ben is a perfect house guest—he doesn’t dig, destroy belongings, or cause trouble. While he’s a homebody who’s happiest in his backyard, he thrives in a consistent routine and will need a secure fence to keep him safe.

Ben is food-motivated (a kitchen companion for sure!) and gets along wonderfully with the resident dog and cat. He enjoys playing with his doggy foster sibling and would do best in a home with another dog to show him the ropes and help him adjust. While he currently lives with a toddler, he’d prefer a home with older children who can respect his space as he continues to build confidence.

Ben does have a cataract in his right eye and needs regular baths to maintain his coat, but these minor needs don’t stop him from being an amazing companion. If you’re looking for a loyal, playful, and loving dog who has overcome so much, Ben is ready to meet you!

Could your home be Ben’s happily ever after?

Their adoption process

1.

Submit Application

Once you submit an application we will do a vet check to ensure your current animals (if any) are up to date on all shots and are fixed.

2.

Home Check

We do a home check to ensure your home is the best fit for the animal you are interested in. Our team works to find an animal who suits you.

3.

Meet the Pet

Formal intro with all family members/pets. If you like you can do a 5 day trial then pay and sign contract and enjoy your new family member!

Additional adoption info

For us, the adoption process begins the day we take a dog or cat into our rescue. It’s a huge responsibility, taking in a lost soul and promising them a happy life, but we are pretty proud of the forever families we’ve helped create because our adoption process is so thorough.

The first step in adopting is to fill out the adoption application. This helps our volunteers understand what kind of new friend you are looking for, and allows us to identify any issues that would prevent us being able to place certain animals in certain homes. For example, breed restrictions in your town or apartment complex, etc…

The Beauties will conduct a vet check to make sure the pets you currently have are all up-to-date on vaccinations and spayed or neutered. We will also contact you to set up a home visit, where we can make sure that the home you have meets the needs of the animal you are interested in. Example: fence height for dogs who are jumpers, stairs for dogs who have mobility challenges, etc… We try to troubleshoot any potential problem areas and offer friendly advise so that our ultimate goal, a forever happy match, can be achieved.

After the application process is complete, the real fun begins! It’s time for Meet-N-Greets! We have a professional dog trainer on our board of directors, and we can schedule her assistance in helping you with dog-to-dog introductions while you are searching for your new family member. It’s amazing how often the existing family pet has a little something to say about who they want to spend time with and having a pro help out makes the potential for a successful intro go through the woof! We mean, roof!

Once you have decided on the dog or cat of your dreams, all that is left to do is sign the adoption contract and pay the fee, which includes all vaccinations, microchip and spay/neuter.

Beauties and Beasts is a state-licensed 501(c)(3) death row rescue located in Wichita, Kansas. Since our founding in October 2014, we have been able to save the lives thousands of death row animals, we have also been able to network out thousands more animals to other rescues. We are a completely 100% volunteer run rescue, we also rely on 100% donations from our followers and supporters to carry out our mission to save animals in our community.

Our purpose is to rescue death row animals from the shelter and in our community and place them in foster homes where they can receive the care and training needed to become family pets. Our main mission is to change these animals’ worlds one rescue at a time. Another large part of our mission is to be a voice for animals in need throughout our community and we are proud to say we have been able to make an impact on the streets of our city as well.

We do not discriminate against breed, age, medical needs, or behavior. We love ALL animals and breeds the same.
