Hi, it’s me, Bentley! I'm a sweet and affectionate boy who's been through quite a journey, but now I'm ready to find my FUR-ever home!

I’m a 1-year and 10-month-old male weighing in at almost 22 pounds. I came into foster care after my previous owner had to surrender me, and I'm currently hanging out in Thousand Oaks, CA. I absolutely love spending time with my humans and FUR siblings—I’m happiest when I’m surrounded by them. On the flip side, I really don’t like being left alone.

I’m a special boy with some special needs, especially after my BOAS surgery and facial reconstruction. I’ll always need extra care, like avoiding collars due to my compromised trachea. I take some daily medications to help with itching. And, I have a sensitive tummy, so I eat a special RX GI food mix of wet and dry food, especially after my recent surgery. 

People often describe me as very sweet, and my surgeon even called me "delightful." I’m building up my endurance, but sometimes I get so excited about being able to breathe and play that I overdo it. It’s like I’m a puppy who just discovered the joy of playing, breathing, and barking all at once! Energy-wise, I’m a 5 out of 10, but when it comes to affection, I’m definitely a 10 out of 10.

One of the most adorable things I do is hang over my bed to sleep. I used to sleep standing up because of my breathing issues, but now I’ve learned that I can lay down and relax.

I’ve never shown any aggression or destructiveness, but we’re still getting back on track with my potty training since my surgery put that on the back burner for a bit. I’m great with a doggy door, especially for going outside to do my business, but I’m still working on getting it right every time.

I’m good with other dogs, especially the ladies, but I’m not sure about small children or cats yet. I’m crate trained, and while I’d be okay in an apartment or townhome as long as I have a potty area, I’d love a FUR-ever home with someone who understands my needs and maybe a small female fur friend to keep me company.
