About Gramps

Gramps, affectionately known as Bentley, is a large, goofy boy with a playful spirit. He loves chasing after his ball and enjoys car rides, clearly thriving in dog-friendly outings. Bentley is smart and eager to please—he knows how to sit, give paw, and stay. Housebroken and moderately energetic, he’s at his best after some playtime. While he does fine when left alone, he prefers to be near you when you're home. A few important notes: Bentley could be an Olympic champion in counter surfing, so watch your snacks! His size means he might unintentionally bump into small children, making a home without them preferable. He may get a bit nervous in new environments and will appreciate some time to settle. Although he loves being around other dogs, it's best to introduce him slowly, and he's perfectly fine being the only pet, too. Think you can be his BFF? Click apply to start the adoption process.
