Adopt a pet

Summer is just around the corner and Bentley is hoping to jump start his summer adventures with his furever family! Bentley is a young, funny boy with all the pawtential to be your best buddy. Not only is he one of the most handsome boys we have (seriously, how can you not swoon over his face?), but Bentley has the most pyrfect pyrsonality to be your furever companion. Despite his size, Bentley is goofy when playing with his canine foster siblings, and he is the sweetest gentlepyr when interacting with his feline friends. Kids? They're just furless friends who walk on two-legs; no worries, we are very inclusive in our playtime :) After a long day of learning his cues, perfecting leash manners, and fun times with his friends, Bentley loves to lay down by your feet and relax as a family. Of course, you can always make his day even better by showering him with kisses and belly rubs, but he is also content to chill by your side as you read or watch a movie. This lovely, easy-going boy is a gem with so much love to give. We are pawsitive he will continue to thrive in a home filled with love and affection. He is more than ready to go to his furever home!

NYS Registered Rescue # RR102

Our goal is to assess every application on its own merits. Key considerations are: 1) the experience of the applicant with large breed dogs 2) children in the household or regularly visiting the household are ready for a large-breed dog who is a guardian by nature and 3) the sex of other dogs currently residing in the household to avoid same-sex aggression issues. For puppies under six months old, the applicant’s ability to socialize the puppy with older dogs is a priority.
