Meet ben
Meet Big Ben, our 5-year-old majestic 85-lb. Golden Tibetan teddy bear! If you love big dogs with even bigger personalities, Ben is your boy. Ben’s proud posture gives off his regal Tibetan Mastiff heritage, while his gorgeous coat and loving & devoted temperament show his Golden Retriever genes. And he is 100% good boy.
Ben’s Favorite Things
Walks – Show him a leash, and he lights up
Car rides – Tail wags and giddy with delight all the way
Dog parks – He's very sociable, playful, and avoids trouble
Brushing – Yes, he sheds twice yearly, but he loves being brushed and pampered
Being admired – Every walk elicits lots of attention from strangers who stop just to admire his magnificence. More than one car has squealed by with an "oh my god, look at that beautiful dog"!
Ben’s Personality & Preferences
Loyal, smart, and deeply connected to his people
Loves direction and routine—it helps him feel safe.
Has had some minor resource guarding around toys, but has almost disappeared as his trust has grown with his foster mom. It may return with a new person, but know that it will dissipate with trust and time.
May not be a great fit for homes with smaller kids or other alpha dogs
Best suited for a calm, confident adopter experienced with large breeds
Ben is a one-in-a-million dog for the right person. This magnificent boy turns heads everywhere he goes… maybe one of them will be yours!
