My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Name: Bentley (20220809-01)
Weight: 55 lbs
Age: 2 years
Gender: male
Neutered: yes
Breed: Dutch Shepherd / dingo mix
Color: brown and black brindle with white patches on face and chest

Neck size: 18”
Chest size: 26”
Height: 28”
Length: 34”
Crate size: large

Good with women: yes
Good with Men: yes
Good with Kids: yes but older children preferred as he is shy and needs time to warm up
Good with other dogs: yes
Good with Cats: seems indifferent to the cat in his foster home
House trained: 75%
Crate trained: yes
Energy level: med/high
Can be handled/ touched: yes but needs time to warm up
Barker: only when first put in the crate
Flight risk: yes until he learns his boundaries and forms a bond
Food aggressive: no
Current food: chicken and rice kibble
Walk on leash: yes but needs some work
Reactive to people or dogs: no
Rides well in car: yes but is a bit nervous
Destructive: unknown
Needs a home with yard: yes
Needs home with another dog: Bentley would love another dog around his size but not a requirement

Backstory: Bentley and another dog were brought to the shelter together as strays, the other dog sadly passed away. Bentley had been at the shelter almost 6 months, and his days were numbered. NDR and foster partners saved him!

Bentley is extremely sweet and friendly, but needs someone patient that is willing to give him time to come out of his shell and warm up. Sudden and fast movements still cause him to jump so a quiet home will be best for him. He absolutely loves other dog so a home with a confident dog would be amazing for him!

Go meet their pets

The majority of our dogs are adopted before traveling to Canada. We are a foster based rescue, so a meet & greet can be arranged with some dogs that are already here.

More about this rescue

We are so much more than a dog rescue! We are a community of incredible volunteers with one goal in mind: To help dogs in need find a loving, forever home. We are moms and dads, sisters and daughters, sons and brothers from all walks of life. We have come together with one goal in mind: To help dogs that need it most. Those on death row, those lost, those hungry those broken-hearted. We will work and work and work until we find a family for each one of them. We will not stop until each one of our dogs has the one thing they wish for: the safety of a home and the love of a family. We are foster based. This means we do not have a facility, dogs are pulled from shelters and put in to comfortable homes until they are adopted. Each foster volunteer allows us to save one more dog and help him/her find a loving forever home. Since 2015, NDR has saved over 9500 dogs. These dogs are ALIVE today because of we cared and we worked and we cried and we pleaded and we drove and we checked and we advocated and we fought and we begged and, in the end, we made this possible without funding or paid staff. With no shelter or corporate sponsors. With nothing but the will of our amazing volunteers working together to help save the lives of the dogs we can help. We keep our heads down, we focus on what we need to do to help our dogs and we go to work. We have made a difference in the lives of those dogs that are fortunate enough to be ours.
