Bentley is a Shih Tzu mix who weighs around 13 pounds. He's a small, sweet pup packed with personality and charm. Bentley thrives in a calm, understanding environment where he's given the space to be himself. Once he trusts you, he'll enjoy cuddles and even show off his adorable zoomies! He's not a fan of chaos, but he is ready for love from someone who understands how to earn a dog's trust. Bentley would be a wonderful companion for a singleton or older adult looking for a loyal, affectionate friend. He would love life in a house or an apartment, provided that lots of treats and snuggles are involved!
Ideal Home
A patient, experienced home with someone who understands small dogs and is willing to give him the time, grace, and consistency he needs. He needs a safe space, a gentle touch, and a kind heart. While he enjoys walks, his energy level is more "homebody chic" than "marathon runner." He would be happy with a doggie sibling or as a solo dog soaking up all the love. He has met a cat and is considered cat tolerant, but a kitty sleepover would be best to confirm a good fit.
Ongoing Health
