Story
Meet Benjamin Barker – Your Loyal Companion Waiting for a New Beginning!
Hi, I'm Benjamin Barker, but you can just call me Ben! I used to have a family, and life was pretty good. I had kids to play with, a home to call my own, and a routine that made me feel safe and loved. But one day, everything changed. My family moved out and left me behind. I didn’t understand why, but I patiently waited, hoping they'd come back. Then, a kind neighbor noticed I wasn’t out playing with the kids like usual and decided to check on me. They found the door unlocked, and there I was, all alone, just waiting for my people.
But don’t worry – I’m not sad anymore! I’m in a loving foster home now, and I’m ready for a fresh start. I’m a sweet and loyal dog who loves snuggles, belly rubs, and playing outside when the weather’s nice. I get along with other dogs and would be great in a home where I can have a buddy to share my adventures with.
I’m potty trained, crate trained, I know a few commands, and I’m always ready to learn more. I do have some puppy energy and would do best with a family who knows about german shepherds and is ready to do some training and provide me the stimulation that I need. I am working on walking on a leash nicely and I am super smart and trainable. I get along great with the 3 pittbulls that I am currently fostered with and love to play with them. I have not been around cats yet, so unsure how I would be with them. I do really great with kids.
If you're looking for a loyal, loving companion who’s ready to put the past behind him and start a new chapter with you, I might just be the perfect fit! Come meet me today – I’m sure we’ll be best friends in no time. 🐾❤️
Benjamin Barker – waiting for the family who will love him forever.
