Consider your weekend plans handled, Austin. Sarah Wolf from Good Party ATX joined Sierra Waggoner on We Are Austin with an adorable guest and a roundup of events happening around town.<\/p>\n

This week, Sarah brought along Benson, a senior pup from Central Texas SPCA <\/a>who is looking for a loving home.<\/p>\n

\"And<\/p>\n

And if you’re hoping to meet Benson specifically, Sarah said interested families can set up a meet and greet at the shelter. He is also available to foster, giving someone the opportunity to give this senior pup a comfortable place to relax while he looks for his forever home.<\/p>\n

Benson is around 13 years old, but you would never know it by his personality. Sarah said he was found covered in matted hair and had likely been on his own for some time before being taken in by the rescue.<\/p>\n

\u201cThey took him into the rescue, gave him some TLC, gave him a haircut, and now he’s looking for a family,\u201d Sarah said.<\/p>\n

Benson loves meeting people, walks well on a leash and is described as a friendly dog. Because of his age, Sarah said he would likely do best in a home with older dogs, senior dogs or older children who can give him a calmer environment.<\/p>\n

And there is another reason Benson stopped by the studio.<\/p>\n

The restaurant will also host a Spirit Night fundraiser on August 26, which is National Dog Day. At the Leander location, Central Texas SPCA <\/a>will be there with adoptable dogs and dog friendly activities for the whole family.<\/p>\n
