Meet Benson

Benson is a 7 year old Rhodesian Ridgeback rescued out of Brazoria County Animal Shelter. He knows basic commands and walks well on a leash. Benson is a little possessive of his person and would do best with someone that was an experienced dog handler, or as an only dog. He is housebroken and well mannered. Benson hasn't been tested around cats.
