About

Meet Benson TX

Benson is a 13-year-old Dachshund mix who is looking for a new home. His owner became ill and was in the hospital, leaving Benson home alone. One of her coworkers would feed Benson every couple days. When his owner went to a hospice facility, another coworker took Benson to see her one last time. We decided to take Benson into our rescue because he had nowhere to go. Benson is good with cats and dogs. He enjoys playing with the other dogs in his foster home and gets along with the cats. He's been around young and older kids and enjoyed cuddling with them. He has learned to use the doggie door at his foster home, but occasionally marks inside (we think this is because the person checking on him wasn't letting him out. He was just dumped food and filled the water bowl). He would make a great family dog and do well in a multi-dog home or as an only dog. Benson will be microchipped, neutered and brought up to date on his vaccines before heading to his new home. If you're interested in meeting this sweet senior guy, please fill out an adoption application at www.northstarpets.org and be sure to ask for BENSON TX!

Adoption Process
Potential adopters will submit an adoption application. The adopters information will be screened including veterinary and personal references. After the first round of screening they will get the chance to meet the pet. If it is a good match, as deemed by NSPR volunteers, the adopter will complete an adoption contract and pay the fee of 375.00. All animals will be spayed/neutered and fully vetted prior to adoption. The only exception would be small puppies in which case the adopter will submit an additional deposit refundable upon proof of spay/neuter. In the event an animal is no longer wanted, the adoption contract will stipulate that the animal always gets returned to us, and is never sold, given away, or surrendered to another rescue or shelter.
