Benson - Great Pyrenees Dog for Adoption in Nashville, Tennessee

Meet the sweet and quiet Benson!

After being hit by a car in Texas and left to wander, Benson underwent a leg amputation with Big Fluffy. He has slowly learned that humans can mean good things. Like treats and AC.

Benson gets along well with other dogs and is completely indifferent to cats. He is potty trained, rides beautifully in the car, and has been a perfect gentleman for all vet visits and handling.

If you're looking for a dog who needs to be attached to your hip every second of the day, Benson may decline. True to his Great Pyrenees roots he's more of an observer vs a clingy companion. He's happiest hanging out in the same room keeping an eye on things and enjoying your company without demanding constant attention.

His ideal home would be calm and low traffic. We would recommend children over 12 that have boundaries around dogs to not scare him. Loud, wild, screechy little humans would be overwhelming for him.

He is a tripod, so a home with minimal stairs is preferred to help keep him comfortable long term. But don't let the tripod status fool you, he gets around just fine. He's simply a lower-energy guy who prefers a slower way of life over marathon adventures.
Benson isn't looking for excitement. He's looking for peace and a soft place to sleep.

Currently in Nashville, TN but can travel anywhere BFDR does.
