Description

Benson is a Standard Poodle, 13 months old and was born with a cleft. He was the last of our litter and after hand-rearing him, I simply didn’t have the heart to let him go. He has grown into a wonderful, affectionate and funny boy with a big personality and an even bigger heart. He loves bouncing on the trampoline and cuddling up with his favourite toy unicorn. This has been a very difficult decision, but due to my disability I am no longer able to consistently provide the level of exercise and stimulation Benson needs. Alongside the additional cost of a second dog, I feel it is in his best interest to find a home that can fully meet his needs. The donation should reflect the level of commitment I am hoping to see from Benson’s new owner, as well as covering his neutering, microchipping and vaccinations, all of which are up to date. His cleft has been assessed by multiple vets, all of whom advised against correction as it does not affect him. If anything, it gives him his own unique, slightly wonky and very endearing smile. Benson’s training is progressing well. He knows a range of commands, and his recall has been trained using a whistle. Like many adolescent dogs, he can be a little inconsistent at times, so he will benefit from continued training and guidance. We are looking for a committed, patient and experienced home—ideally someone familiar with active or high-energy dogs—who can offer him structure, ongoing training, and plenty of mental and physical enrichment. Benson is a much-loved dog, and his wellbeing is our absolute priority. He is used to children, and has been playful and patient with my autistic son. We would ideally like to stay in touch initially and ensure that any transition is as smooth as possible for him. If you feel you could offer Benson the right home, we would be very happy to hear from you and answer any questions.

FurDopt Safety Advice: You MUST read our buyer's checklist before contacting the advertiser.

Buyer's checklist to avoid scams!

Keep all communication on Furdopt.com – Avoid moving to external platforms where scams are common.
Never send a deposit unless you have viewed the pet in person – Scammers often ask for upfront payments and disappear.
Don’t share your ID or personal details – Protect yourself from identity theft and fraud.
Beware of phishing scams – Avoid clicking on suspicious links or emails asking for login details.
Be responsible, do your own research – Verify the seller, their background, and the pet’s history.
Ask lots of questions – A genuine seller will provide health records, vaccination details, and pet history.
Meet in a safe place – Always visit the seller’s premises to see the pet in a secure environment.
Check for warning signs – Unusually low prices, urgency, or reluctance to meet in person are red flags.
Request vet records and microchip details – Ensure the pet is healthy and legally registered.
Avoid sellers who refuse video calls or in-person meetings – Scammers often hide behind fake listings.
Trust your instincts – If something feels off, walk away and report suspicious listings.
