About Bentley

Bentley is in search of a tranquil home where he can thrive. Recently coming from a foster arrangement, he showed some compatibility with other dogs, although it seems he would prefer to be the only dog or share space with a smaller companion. He's fantastic with cats and can become quite attached to his human, wanting to stick by your side. While he was a bit shy around the male in his foster home, his affectionate nature shines through when he feels secure. Bentley does require a little extra time with house training and has some picky eating habits, so companionship during meals is important for him. His previous life as a stray left him matted, so he will need regular grooming. If you're ready to welcome a loving companion and can meet his needs, Bentley could be a great fit for you. Fill out an application online, and we’ll set up a time for you to meet him soon.
