about bentley
Bentley is proof that the best things come in small, sweet packages. This resilient little guy was surrendered due to medical needs, but don't let that fool you—he's living his best life and ready to share his endless affection with a special family.
Bentley was diagnosed with degenerative valvular disease, but great news—his cardiologist says no treatment is needed! While he's blind in both eyes and needs daily eye medications for dry eye, he's incredibly patient with his treatments and navigates the world beautifully. His future family will need to be comfortable with administering his daily eye care.
This adorable fellow is the perfect companion for someone seeking a calm, loving presence. He enjoys leisurely walks where he can take his time sniffing all the interesting scents along the way. Bentley walks beautifully on a leash and gets along wonderfully with other dogs, from labs to dachshunds. At home, he's a champion sleeper who loves rotating between his favorite beds throughout the day. He's mastered getting around the house, initially with a halo collar but now without, and he's perfectly content being left alone for a few hours with no separation anxiety.
Bentley is a gentle greeter who'll give you a sweet little "woof" and excited tail wags when you come home. This food enthusiast loves his meals, treats, and gets excited by cooking smells. He enjoys snuffle mats and puzzle toys, and gives the sweetest kisses when you pet him. He's a creature of habit who may pace before bedtime when he needs to go out or wants a few kibbles, and while he's an early riser for bathroom breaks, he happily goes back to bed afterward.
Bentley is looking for a patient, loving home where he can enjoy slow walks, cozy naps, and gentle care. His ideal family will be comfortable with daily eye treatments and understand that car travel isn't his favorite—he prefers sitting on a lap or in a spacious crate with a comfy bed. If you're ready to open your heart to a sweet senior who will fill your days with quiet joy and unconditional love, Bentley is waiting to meet you. This special boy has so much love to give and is ready to become your devoted companion.
