About Bentley

Adoption Fee: $100.00
Rhodesian Ridgeback mix
Age: Young Adult
Sex: Male

BENTLEY��%BD��%BD%BD'��%BD��%BD%BD|. . the perfect name for this regal looking boy! With a striking appearance, he captures the attention of most and receives many compliments. This Rhodesian Mix (possibly lab?) has all of the personality traits of a Rhodesian, with a bit of a softer look. A favorite physical feature is how his eye color matches his coat color exactly! He loves to cuddle and lean in when giving hugs. He values the company of his human(s) and will greet you as if you've been away for months every time you return home (even if you just went to the grocery store for 15 minutes!) Bentley loves to get out and RUN, so you would be his most admired hero if you are the one to take him on long walks, jogs or bike rides! He loves to just hang out with you at home and around the yard as well. With very nice inside manners, he knows all of the basic commands, plus a few special words unique to his previous household (such as, 'easy/calm' 'back up' 'wait' 'treat' 'go' etc). If you want a deep connection with your next dog, you could have it with Bentley! He wants to please his human, and will gaze into your eyes with soft blinks, and sit next to you on the couch with his head relaxed in your lap, and likely his tongue hanging out. He is easy to bathe, and his grooming needs are minimal. He is crate trained, but at his age and level of obedience, is only crated for travel. Bentley likes all humans. He hasn't spent much time with little ones, but he is a strong boy with a long tail. There are no indications of any aggressions toward people. He does possess a natural prey drive, so if he has an opportunity, he will chase cats and squirrels ��%BD��%BD%BD'��%BD��%BD%BD| and boy is he fast and sleek! A well fenced yard will keep everyone safe ��%BD��%BD%BD'��%BD��%BD%BD| oh, and did I mention his athletic abilities?! A 4 foot fence won't do the trick. Bentley currently attends a 'doggie playcare' where he interacts with other dogs that he has been appropriately matched with, however, he has been known to pick fights with some dogs, and ideally should live in an environment where he gets his exercise and play time with people, rather than other canines. There is a highly likelihood that he would engage in a serious attack or fight with other canines, possibly due to 'resource guarding'. An experienced large dog owner would be the best fit for this highly intelligent, strong dog, devoted boy. The ONLY reason he is being rehomed is that current owner is in an area where there is significant contact with other canines, which could lead to fights/injuries.
