About Bentley

Bentley is a young male Yorkshire Terrier, approximately 3 years old and around 12 pounds. After coming from a challenging situation with a backyard breeder, he arrived at FurBabies needing some serious care. Bentley had fleas and severe dermatitis, leading to a loss of his lovely coat, but with plenty of love and attention, he’s regaining his fluffy fur and charm. Initially fearful, Bentley is gradually warming up to people and is beginning to show his sweet nature. He needs a patient and gentle family who can offer him a calm environment to thrive. A home without young children would suit him best, allowing him to build his confidence at his own pace. Bentley has faced enough challenges; now he’s ready to know just how wonderful life can be.
