Story
***BENTLEY IS BEING FOSTERED IN A HOME LOCATED IN ROCKAWAY, NJ AND AVAILABLE FOR A MEET AND GREET WITH AN APPROVED APPLICATION***
Born around June 25th, Bentley is ready for his forever home! His siblings, Blossom and Bunny are also available for adoption and are being fostered around Sherborn, MA.
Bentley has a gorgeous blonde, thick coat and the most bright, green and blue eyes. In the dark, his eyes are green but when the sun hits them right, they are blue.
The foster that has Bentley describes him as perfect. Here are a few things she has to say about him:
His tail starts wagging basically every time you even look at him and he has the sweetest little smile when he’s comfy and sleeping. He’s definitely a great fit for an office pup. Wherever he goes I hope he continues to meet other dogs. He’s a social butterfly with dogs and people.
How is he with house training?
He’s doing very well. He’s not alerting yet but is waiting to go potty until we bring him outside. Any accidents have been because we lost track of typical puppy potty timing, or we were too slow in the morning leading him outside.
Crate training?
Excellent in the crate. He occasionally barks for a minute when he first goes in but settles very quickly. He sleeps through the night 50% of the time (10:30/11-6:30/7:00ish) and the other 50% he gets up once to go potty. That timing varies but it’s in the 12-2am range
Any quirks?
He might see ghosts he occasionally looks at “nothing” and growls/grumbles or barks
Food motivated?
He’s food motivated but not food crazy. He’s already learned sit and is half way to lay down and “here” If he’s hungry you’ll know because he’ll just look for anything to put in his mouth. (Grass, pinecone, stick, shoe, whatever is around) when he’s fed he stops the searching
What can you tell me you’ve learned about him?
He loves other dogs and is interested in but respectful of the cats. He does bark at them when they don’t want to interact but is not obsessive about it. He loves to be pet and held and is friendly with everyone he meets. He’s a quick learner for such a young puppy and eager to please- he will be very trainable.
Can you tell us anything about that make him stand out?
He’s a super snuggle bug with people and will be with dogs (our resident dog is not a snuggler and regularly breaks his little heart by walking away when he tries) He loves to roll around and show his belly. He’s a vocal communicator with a wide range of whines, grumbles and barks. He has beautiful green eyes that are hard to really capture in pictures. He’s only been with us (almost) a week, but this is what we came up with so far. I’ll keep you posted on his house training, I think he’s going to learn fast
Bentley LOVES other dogs and gets along wonderfully with them. He is definitely the more submissive type and a follower. He would love another dog in the home.
He is very respectful of the fosters cat and the boundaries. He is not overbearing at all and gets along great with the kitty.
Bentley is very easy to redirect with toys/treats/attention when he is getting into puppy trouble. He is very food, treat and attention motivated, which is fantastic for a puppy!
He already is learning commands within the first day and knows sit.
Bentley goes to work with the foster, and he has a fan club there. He is the happiest little puppy.
He loves everything and just so goes with whatever is happening. He loves walking, dogs, cats, treats, naps, crates, all people.
He LOVES tug of war with the fosters dog.
If you’re looking for a cuddly, loyal, super friendly, loving, smart, curious, gentle, fun and all-around amazing puppy (also a little bear!), please consider adopting Bentley.
