Story
Ben is a 11 year old, loving senior, male American Pit Bull Terrier. He was found lying lifeless on the side of the road by some good-hearted Firefighters. Ben was emaciated, his skin was irritated from food allergies, he was missing a lot of hair due to obvious long term flea infestation, his eyes were covered with green mucus due to not being treated for his dry eye condition, he was also in daily pain from bilateral entropion. He has pressure sores from lying on hard surfaces and arthritis in his hind legs. The one thing, true to his breed, that the monster who previously owned him did not damage, is Ben’s gentle soul. Ben loves every person and dog he meets. He enjoys going for short walks and lounging in a cool spot outdoors for a short while. He is now accustomed to living the good life and prefers a big comfy dog bed over the cold hard ground. He does have food allergies, so his diet is somewhat limited. Ben has been neutered, microchipped, dewormed, fecal and heartworm tested negative. His skin has healed, his hair has grown in, he had bilateral entropion surgery and is on medication for his dry eye condition (this will be a lifelong issue). Ben was barely able to stand in January, but has since been taking Cosequin and Collagen powder daily. Today, when he sees his food bowl, he can hop up and run as fast as any other dog in the house! Ben is definitely hard of hearing, but his eyesight and sense of smell is in tact! He just wants love and a safe place to sleep.. which is what he does most of the day. Ben is being fostered in Lake Worth, FL. For more information contact wendy@ladyluckanimalrescue.com or text 845-913-6523.
