Introducing FBRN’s big boy Bengie who has some even bigger feelings! He may not hear a word you say (he’s deaf) but he’s definitely had plenty to say. After being surrendered due to the cost of care and not having enough time, 4.5 year old Bengie has been navigating his new life in foster care.

The first couple of weeks were a little overwhelming for this big guy and his fabulous foster family. There’s been some barking, a little creative redecorating (apparently, everything within reach was fair game), and a whole lot of adjusting to a brand-new world. But settling in takes time, and Bengie is getting the chance to find his footing at his own pace.

This boy may be 35 pounds of solid Frenchie, but even the biggest boys need a little reassurance when life turns upside down. Bengie seems pretty healthy, but will need to be altered and may need palate surgery to help his breathing.
