Big Ben the Border Collie is a 3 year old, neutered male who's currently being fostered in Northern Illinois. According to Great Lakes Border Collie Rescue:
“Big Ben” was one of three dogs rescued from a hoarder. He is a large, sweet fellow who is just now learning the basics. Both curious and nervous, Ben wants to be part of your group or make sure he can see the group. The ideal home would have a fenced yard and a possible playmate. He can be tentative about meeting new people, but is learning.
Ben settles into his crate nicely, but will let you know when he thinks it’s time to come out. He’s a smart boy and has started thinking things through, rather than the usual “run and hide.” It helps that he’s treat-motivated, and he has learned to walk nicely on a leash.
Ben is still getting used to the outside world, which can easily spook him. Though housetrained, he is sometimes reluctant to go outside, and once out, doesn’t always want to come back in.
Ben is a work in progress, and watching him discover the world is what rescue is all about.
