Notes from Almost Home Animal Rescue

Hi there! My name’s Bentley, and I’m a 60-pound bundle of fun, energy, and heart. I might look like a grown-up dog, but between you and me... I’m still a big ol’ puppy inside. I’m learning about this whole “being a good boy” thing, and I’m trying really hard! Before now, no one ever really taught me much, but my foster mom has been helping me learn all the important stuff — like not using my mouth when I play (I get a little too excited sometimes!) and that tennis balls are way better for chewing than hands. I'm making TONS of progress.

Read the full notes

I’m already house trained and crate trained, and at night I sleep in my own little mudroom spot like a champ. My family asked my now foster mom to watch me and never came back for me. I couldn't believe it! Talk about heartbreak. I am very VERY lucky that my foster mom is trying to help me find a new home. I love to play and run and be silly! I did great at the dog park, but I like to keep my food to myself — so I’d do best with someone who understands how to help me with sharing and manners. I'd would be very happy to live in a home that is cat free, but those squirrels? Eh, they don’t impress me much. I’m a happy boy, but I dream of finding that special person who really gets me — someone patient, kind, and maybe a little experienced with energetic dogs like me. I just know that with love and some training, I can be the best companion ever. I’ve got so much love to give, I just need a family who will help me figure it all out. Could that be you? Love,Bentley PS. Some of my pictures are before I had my fancy day at the groomers. PSS. A fenced in yard is required.
