Here's what the humans have to say about me:
This beautiful boy is Bentley! Bentley is a English Cream Golden Retriever who is about a year old, & he needs a new forever home! Bentley is a friendly, sweet, & affectionate boy! He is good with all dogs big & small, loves people including kids, he’s smart & submissive overall. One of our favorite trainers has worked with this guy & even evaluated him for service. While Bentley was great at the training center, he has had some issues with boundaries at home. Like many young, smart dogs, Bentley pushes boundaries & can be very stubborn when he wants to be! He is also a high-energy boy & if he doesn’t get the energy burn he needs, his attention will turn to destructive behaviors. While Bentley loves to play with other dogs, he has a tendency to resource guard at times with toys. We are looking for an experienced owner for Bentley that will appropriately set & reinforce boundaries & expectations with this sweet boy. We’ve been working with him a couple weeks & have made great progress; he just needs to know what is expected of him & boundaries need to be reinforced. Bentley is both treat & toy motivated. We are also looking for an active household with a young, playful dog sibling & a fenced yard as he loves to run & play! Bentley also loves water, or at least laying in the kiddie pool in summer! He is housebroken & leash trained. He is also crate trained although he isn’t a big fan of being in a crate; this is one of the areas we have focused on & made good progress with lots of positive reinforcement. Bentley is fully vetted including all his vaccinations, neuter, & microchip with lifetime registration. Adoption fee is $150. Adoption application, home visit, vet reference and adoption contract are required. Filling out an application is the first step in our process. Applications are given preference and attention before emails. Click on “Apply to adopt” on this page or follow the link below to fill out an application for this beautiful boy today! SERIOUS INQUIRIES ONLY. PROCESS IS MANDATORY FOR ALL POTENTIAL ADOPTERS.
