BIO: Benson and his brother Baxter were born in a foster home, after both their mom (Betty) and their dad (Barney) were surrendered by a family who couldn’t take care of them anymore. He sleeps a lot, like all puppies do, but when he is awake he is full of energy and love! If you loved to be kissed, and you want a puppy to call your own, then Benson just might be for you! However, just remember that puppies are a LOT of work, and they really do require someone at home around the clock (aside from errands) to train and take care of them. If you have little or no experience with owning a puppy, I highly recommend a book called “The Puppy Primer” by Patricia B. McConnell, which you can get from Amazon. “Dachshunds for Dummies” (on Amazon as well) is also an excellent source of information. So, if you are prepared to own a puppy, please don’t let his foster location (which is in Columbia, Maryland) stand in your way. We have a slew of volunteers who will help with transporting your “new best friend” to his forever home! If you have ANY additional questions about Benson, please feel free to email me, Mary Anne, at maryanne70@gmail.com.
