About Ben
Meet Ben – A Brave Little Survivor Breed: Shih Tzu Age: ~10 years Location: Fuquay-Varina / Middlesex, NC Adoption Fee: $300. The rescue will pay for his heartworm treatment and neutering.
Ben's story is heartbreaking, but his resilience is inspiring. This 10-year-old Shih Tzu was found as a stray, completely blind, severely underweight, and heartworm positive. Despite everything he has endured, Ben is gentle, loving, and so grateful for every bit of kindness he receives.
Ben has begun the first phase of his heartworm treatment and will need a local adopter or foster who can take him to his veterinary appointments in Fuquay-Varina, NC. When cleared, he will also need to be neutered and receive a dental.
He is currently working on his potty manners, which should continue to improve after he is neutered and settled into a routine.
Ben is the sweetest boy—calm, affectionate, and eager for a safe home where he can finally rest. After years of neglect, he deserves comfort, patience, and love.
If you can provide a soft place for Ben to heal and thrive, please submit an application today.
