About "bentley

Meet Bentley! Bentley is a delightful Shih Tzu-Maltese mix, about 3 years old and weighing 11.7 lbs. He came to us from a municipal shelter, severely matted, but after overcoming heartworm treatment, he’s now healthy and ready for a fresh start. This playful and affectionate boy thrives on companionship and loves being part of family activities. He enjoys toys, walks, and spending quality time with humans and other dogs. Bentley has a personality that balances silliness and sweetness perfectly—ready to romp and play or snuggle up for a cozy afternoon. He has a friendly willingness to get along with adults, kids, cats, and dogs. Bentley is pee-pad trained and delights in being close to his family. Though he is still learning to be comfortable with being picked up, he happily cuddles and enjoys affection. Bentley has a strong bond with another rescue dog named Soboro. It would be a heartwarming affair if these two could find a forever home together. A family that offers him attention, love, and companionship would truly make his dream come true. Considering how far Bentley has come, he deserves to be cherished for the rest of his life. Are you the one to give him and potentially Soboro the happy ending they both deserve? Bentley is currently in a foster home in Korea and will be transported to the U.S. upon adoption. Since we cannot arrange in-person meet-and-greets, we're ready to provide detailed information, photos, and videos to help you get to know him better. He would prefer a home where he isn’t left alone for more than 4 hours. Patience and understanding will help him adapt as he experiences family life. Could you be Bentley's new best friend? Your new best friend is just one click away.
