Benson TX

Benson is a 13-year-old Dachshund mix who is looking for a new home. His owner became ill and was in the hospital, leaving Benson home alone. One of her coworkers would feed Benson every couple days. When his owner went to a hospice facility, another coworker took Benson to see her one last time. We decided to take Benson into our rescue because he had nowhere to go. Benson is good with cats and dogs. He enjoys playing with the other dogs in his foster home and gets along with the cats. He's been around young and older kids and enjoyed cuddling with them. He has learned to use the doggie door at his foster home, but occasionally marks inside (we think this is because the person checking on him wasn't letting him out. He was just dumped food and filled the water bowl). He would make a great family dog and do well in a multi-dog home or as an only dog. Benson will be microchipped, neutered and brought up to date on his vaccines before heading to his new home.
