About Bentley

Bentley is a charming adult male Border Collie mix looking for his forever home. With his gentle nature and low energy, he's the perfect companion for a family or individual seeking warmth and affection. He’s adaptable and has gotten along well with all the dogs he's met, approaching them with care and patience, ready for playtime. He’s also lived successfully with a cat and does wonderfully around children aged 5 to 18. While Bentley is mostly house trained, he may have occasional accidents due to excitement. He is crate trained, though he may bark initially before settling down for the night. On walks, he enjoys being on a leash and is happy to sit on command, especially when treats are involved. Bentley can't wait to meet his new family—could that be you?
