Here's what the humans have to say about me:
** If you are interested in adopting Bentley, please fill out our adoption application at http://farfels.com/farfels-rescue/adoption-form/ **
Meet Bentley! Bentley is believed to be a miniature Poodle / Havanese mix.
He is 5 years old and 12 lbs.
Bentley is a timid little guy who is looking for a patient home. Bentley was relinquished to a small shelter in Nebraska and from there made his way to a rescue in Utah, where he has waited 2 months to find a home. With no luck, he is now coming to Farfel's Rescue to find his forever home.
Bentley was relinquished by a puppy mill breeder, who was done using him once he turned 5. Bentley's real life is just beginning, and we are so happy that he has made it out of that life.
Bentley has not had much life experience outside of a commercial breeding kennel. He's looking for a home that will show him love and safety as well as routine and confidence building. Bentley enjoys the company of other dogs his size but is still nervous when it comes to humans. We have seen this so many times with other breeder release dogs, and know that once he gets into a home he will come around with time, patience, and love.
Bentley would do best in a home with a safely fenced yard, since he does not walk on leash yet, as well as another canine companion to show him the ropes in a home.
Bentley would be a wonderful companion for someone who works from home, or retirees who have the time and desire to be best friends with this irresistible pup that's beautiful both inside and out. Since Bentley will be nervous going into a home for the first time, we do not think that a home with kids would suit him.
We'd like to place Bentley in a home where he'll get consistent stimulation, exercise and love. A positive reinforcement group training class promotes great behavior, bonding and confidence. Training is so important in the future behaviors of every dog. It's for this reason that we're unwilling to adopt to a family that doesn't make this loving choice. Farfel's is happy to provide a list of both in-person and virtual positive reinforcement / force- free trainers in your area.
Bentley has been fully vetted, is up to date on his vaccines, and neutered.
Farfel's Rescue is a fully foster based rescue, and offers a one week trial with every adoption. We feel that this is much more beneficial to not only the dog, but the adopter too. We believe that only getting 20-30 minutes with a dog before deciding on a lifetime commitment is not a fair amount of time to the adopter, or the dog. Therefore we give adopters one week with the dog to assure it is the right fit, and offer a full refund of their adoption fee should it not workout within the week trial.
Farfel's Rescue has been doing adoptions this way since 2005 and is thrilled to adopt out ~400 dogs each year.
