About Bentley

Adoption Fee: $400
Yorkie
Age: Adult
Sex: Male

Bentley is an adorable 7 year old male neutered purebred Yorkshire terrier. He weighs 6lbs. He is up to date on shots. History: He was a backyard breeding dog for the first 5 years of his life. For the past 2 years he has been living in a different home setting where he is learning to be housebroken. He is very scared of sounds, noises, and some people. Currently: He is very healthy, happy, and energetic and loves treats. He can be a very sweet and friendly dog however; he presents as highly anxious and is scared of sounds and too much activity in the house and needs to continue to work on being desensitized to anxiety/fear provoking situations. He requires someone with patience and the ability and willingness to seek positive behavioral support to help address his fears, anxiety, and aggression. He may bite when fearful as he is easily triggered and can redirect his aggression towards the nearest person or dog. He is not a malicious dog but has suffered some traumas in the past causing him to be afraid. We know that he can be rehabilitated with training and the right person. He uses puppy pads in the house but still needs to be watched around rugs and carpets. What he needs in a Fur-ever home: He needs an owner that is familiar with the yorkie breed. He has a strong desire to be alpha and may do best with an alpha owner or with a dog pack where he loses his alpha position. He needs a quiet home with no children. He can do well in a home with other dogs (preferably female/calm). A lot of his situational aggressive and dominant behaviors appear to be attributed to him always wanting to be alpha dog. What he enjoys: He loves walks, trips to the dog park, loves sitting out in the backyard and getting some sun, and running around. Please contact me if interested - Monika 818-292-3527
