Bentley is a 3.5-year-old pit mix with an outsized personality and a big heart—he’ll easily fill your home with love. Social and people-hungry, he connects with adults, kids, and guests. Curling up for attention and cuddles is his default; Bentley’s happiest when he’s included in whatever you’re doing. Expressive and warm, he’ll station himself right beside you and look for ways to join the action. Bentley has a high energy streak beneath that snuggly exterior. He needs daily exercise, structure, and things to keep his mind busy—think fetch, toys, training games, or just learning something new. He’s respectful in the house, generally only plays with things given to him, and settles nicely when left alone, though he might pace or fuss at first when you leave. He does well on leash with direction and thrives on routine. With other dogs, Bentley enjoys play but can be socially awkward, sometimes a bit overzealous and pushy when meeting new friends. His energy would fit best with a playful, tolerant dog that can help model good manners. Around cats, he’s shown no aggression, but a home with cats will need to take introductions slowly and supervise early on. Bentley is house trained, though he’s still perfecting holding his bladder for long stretches, so regular potty breaks are best. He may jump up when excited and gets amped around unfamiliar dogs on walks. Vet visits can make him anxious, especially when needles are involved. What Bentley wants is simple: a person willing to keep guiding him and celebrate all the fun, goofy, loving traits he has in spades. If you’re hoping for a loyal, entertaining companion who gives everything to his people, Bentley is waiting for you. Start your journey together! Apply now.
