Ben

Ben is a lovely little long haired Chihuahua  and came to the Roost as an ex Stud dog from  a puppy Farm. He was born with a genetic heart defect which over the eight years he was used as a stud dog will have been passed on to a large proportion of his offspring.  Having lived most of his life in a kennel he was neither house trained nor socialised and had a lot of learning to do before he became the wonderful boy he is today. He has joined the team of Therapy dogs and is a hard working boy enjoying all the attention he receives .

Tyke was an unexpected arrival following a call from a Vet who advised that they had a little stray dog which had been hit by a car and was in need of care and attention.  He has made good progress and is a new friend for Ben and the other dogs.
