Story
🐾 Meet Bentley — A Good Boy with a Heart of Gold! 💙
At 8 years old and approximately 40 pounds, Bentley is a handsome Australian Cattle Dog (Blue Heeler) who's ready to find a loving family and a comfortable place to call home.
This sweet, well-mannered gentleman has years of experience being a wonderful household companion, and he's hoping his next chapter will be his happiest yet! ❤️
🏡 A Wonderful Housemate
Bentley is housetrained, crate trained, and knows his way around family life. He's obedient, knows tricks, walks well on a leash, and has been described as well-behaved when left alone.
And don't let his age fool you! Bentley enjoys a good game of fetch and spending quality time with his favorite people. 🎾
🐶 Friends, Family & Personal Space
Bentley has lived with other dogs and generally does well with canine companions, especially those with calmer, more easygoing personalities. He appreciates having his own space, so a respectful dog who isn't constantly trying to engage him would be his ideal match.
He's also lived with children and has done well with them. Because Bentley values his personal space, a home with older, dog-savvy kids who understand boundaries would be the best fit.
As a Cattle Dog, Bentley also has some natural herding instincts, particularly around cats. He has been observed trying to herd them, so a cat-free home is recommended.
🩺 A Little Extra TLC
Bentley is currently undergoing heartworm treatment, and he's doing well! He's making good progress and needs a calm, restful environment while he completes his treatment.
For now, that means keeping activity low-key and saving those energetic games of fetch for when he's medically cleared to enjoy them again.
Our team can share more details about his treatment and care needs with prospective adopters.
💙 The Home Bentley Deserves
Bentley would love a calmer household with a predictable routine, plenty of affection, and people who appreciate a mature dog who knows what he likes.
He still has a playful side, but he's equally happy having a little room to relax and enjoy life at his own pace.
At 8 years young, Bentley has so much companionship and love left to give. All he needs is someone ready to give this deserving boy his forever home.
Could Bentley be your new best friend? 🐾💙
