"Meet our one year old boy, Bentley, who has a golden heart! Bentley, otherwise called Bennie, is just the cutest thing ever. When he first came into rescue about a month ago, our veterinarian noticed he was slightly favoring one of his back legs. Turns out, this boy had an old injury that had healed incorrectly. We immediately got him evaluated by an orthopedic and he had surgery to correct his leg. He is now nearly a month post op and is doing great!
Bentley has been in a fabulous foster home with another very playful pup. He got to settle in before surgery where we learned a lot about this boy. He is very playful and energetic and his favorite thing to do was wrestle mania with the other pup in the home. He thrives on positive reinforcement and has responded very well to boundaries and corrections provided by his foster family as he just wants to please. He loves attention and getting brushed and will give you kisses galore! He is also house trained and crate trained. He loves his walks and likes to sniff and explore.
Bentley is a boy who needs a home that will continue training and give him lots of attention. He is still very much a puppy who has lots of energy and likes to explore and will get into mischief if left to his own devices. A home where someone is home most of the time would be best to keep an eye on him. He does very well in his crate but he cannot be left in one all day. A family that has older children that would enjoy walking him and playing with him would be ideal too.
After Bentley fully heals from his surgery and learns to leave his puppy antics behind him, he would love to have another dog to play with. It doesn’t need to be right now, but if you wanted to add another pup to the family you could definitely do it with Bentley. Bentley enjoys chewing on his toys and rope toys are his favorite and he loves tug-of-war.
Bentley is now 4 weeks into his 6 week recovery period from surgery (as of 12/27). He is ready to go to his forever home with his new owner knowing that he is able to resume regular physical activity though high impact exercise still needs to be avoided a bit longer. Before you know it, this boy will be zipping around like he was before surgery. He will just be doing it without any of the pain he suffered before his surgery. If you are looking for a fun loving side kick and would enjoy the training process with your pup, then Bennie is the boy for you!"
