Story
This is a working dog that needs plenty of exercise and stimulation, whether through playtime or running around and he also loves to swim in ponds which I’ve taken him to Bow Wow beach numerous times. He is a purebred from a champion dock-diving bloodline and began training at just 3 months old. He already knows several commands and tricks, including a few I taught him myself.He will be 3 years old July 12th and is an amazing, energetic dog with a lot of potential. Unfortunately, due to my schedule, I’m no longer able to give him the time and attention he deserves. Because of that, I’m looking for a loving and active home where he can thrive and continue to get the exercise, training, and companionship he needs.

Story
My husband passed away tragically. My income has decreased significantly and I need to sell my home and downsize. I will be unable to have 3 dogs. Also…Harley is a big dog and he is not good with my senior small dogs. Not mean, just overly playful and clumsy. He hurts them unintentionally. They are tiny and blind/deaf. Not his fault. He loves cats and children. My teenage son is having a hard time with this decision but we have to do what is best for Harley. He deserves a good life…where he is the only dog.

His original owner was my great uncle. He ended up passing from a stroke since I was the only person who would take care of him they ended up giving Bentley to me. I’m a college student who is working I don’t really have time to take care of him like I want to. He needs somebody who’s with him a lot of the time since I can’t be. He includes a cage, food, bowlx2, leash, and his shots
