Bentley is still looking for his forever! 🐾 Special requirements needed - please read thoroughly.
Bentley is a 1.5 year old boy weighing 100 lbs. He is incredibly intelligent, athletic, and loves being outdoors. Whether he’s going for a run, playing with his favorite toys, or soaking up attention with belly rubs, Bentley enjoys being active and engaged with his people.
Bentley is not your typical young dog. He has special behavioral needs and requires a very specific home environment to ensure his continued success. During his first year, Bentley had a great deal of freedom and limited structure, making consistency, routine, and strong leadership absolutely essential for him. He has spent the last several weeks in professional training and has made tremendous progress learning boundaries, manners, and expectations.
Because of his unique needs, Bentley must be placed with an experienced, confident adopter who understands strong-willed working breeds and is committed to maintaining the structure and training he has worked so hard to achieve. His trainer stresses that Bentley needs calm, dominant leadership at all times and will thrive only with someone who can confidently guide him and continue reinforcing his training every day.
Bentley is exceptionally smart and enjoys testing boundaries, so his adopter must be physically capable of handling a powerful 100 lb dog and dedicated to providing the consistency he requires. This is not a dog who will succeed in a casual pet home—finding the right home is critical for Bentley's long-term happiness and stability.
Bentley must be placed in a home with:
🐾No small children
🐾No cats
🐾No small farm animals
🐾A large, securely fenced yard (5 feet or higher)
This clever boy has learned how to open doors, so a secure environment is a must.
Bentley is located in Florida and is searching for a very special adopter who understands his needs and is willing to invest in his future. With the right person, continued structure, and clear leadership, Bentley has all the potential to be an incredible companion. His perfect home is out there—we just need to find it.
