Meet Benjamin~ADOPTION PENDING~

Hi friends! I’m Benjamin but you can call me BENJI for short! It’s less formal, and I’m a pretty casual guy so no formalities required for me or for my forever family! I’m a 1yr old Australian shepherd mix. Maybe some collie? It’s all a best guess but I’m about 40lb and have the most beautiful long flowing locks of hair with all sorts of colors mixed in! I was rescued from the streets of Pine Ridge Reservation where it’s a really tough place to survive. We animals there all survive out on our own, scavenging for food, shelter and safety. Needless to say, I’m loving life in a cozy foster home instead where food shows up in a bowl for me twice a day! I’m fostered with kids and other dogs and great and respectful with all (even the crabby old little dog. IDK what his crabbiness is about but I’m choosing happiness!). I’ve been doing great with potty outside and kenneling as needed. I don’t know any commands yet but my brain is ready to learn! I would love to learn how to walk on a leash too so we can go on adventures together! I hear there’s lots of world to see!  If you’re looking for a loyal, happy, loving companion to do life by your side, then I’m your boy!!! I hope I can meet you soon so I can show you in person how sweet I am! XOXO Benjamin Completion of an Adoption Application via our website (www.RescueCrew.org) is the best way to show your interest in an animal and is the first step in the adoption process. All companion animals adopted by The Rescue Crew are spayed/neutered, up-to-date on age appropriate vaccinations, tested for FIV/FeLK (cats) or heartworm (dogs), microchipped, dewormed and provided with monthly flea/tick and heartworm preventatives. The Rescue Crew is a foster based rescue organization, meaning all of our adoptable pets are located in homes throughout Minnesota. We do not have a physical location where you can stop by to visit the animals - we require the completion of an Adoption Application prior to meeting any of our adoptable pets in foster care. For the most complete information regarding this animal, and all of our adoptable pets, please ensure you are visiting our website directly at www.RescueCrew.org. You can also access the necessary online adoption application here as well.

Adoption Process
Adoption applications must be completed, which include information regarding references and vet clinic information, DL #, names, etc. Reference checks are conducted and when necessary vetting information verified. Discussion about the animal interested in to best assure appropriate and proper placement is made, and educational information regarding how to manage a multi-dog/animal household, slow and proper introductions and the importance of a shut-down period to help the animal acclimate to new surroundings. A "meet and greet" with the animal is required and whenever possible all residents of the household should be present. Home checks may, but not always, be necessary. After adoption applications is approved a contract is required, where we also stipulate that if for any reason the adopter determines they no longer want or can care for the animal we require it be returned to us, with the exception of documented bite history or potentially dangerous or dangerous dog designations. Adoption fees vary, but are comparable to or less than other local rescues and typically are $300 or less for a canine and $150 for a feline.
