Bentley - Part Snugglebug, Part Tough Guy -- 100% Your Sofa Buddy

Meet Bentley — a sweet, soulful little guy who is happiest when he’s close to his favorite people. Whether you’re working from home, folding laundry, or just relaxing on the couch, Bentley will be right there with you (and if you can’t find him, check the laundry basket — it’s one of his favorite cozy spots!).

Bentley is a quiet companion who thrives on daily routine, tasty treats, and outdoor adventures. He enjoys walks and sniffing around the yard, but he doesn’t need a fenced yard if he gets regular walks and time outside with his person. He’s not high-energy — just the right balance of playful and chill. His true passion? You. Bentley is deeply loyal and would love a home where he can be the center of someone’s world. He doesn’t need a canine buddy, but if there is another dog in the home,

Bentley would do best with one who is laid-back and respectful of his space. He can be a little selective with dog friends and may get sassy now and then — daily exercise and clear structure help him stay his best self. Bentley is housetrained when kept on a regular schedule and appreciates getting out first thing in the morning. He’s not one to ask to go out, so a consistent routine is key. 

Bentley would do best with an experienced dog owner who understands that, like many of us, he needs a little time and guidance to build trust and feel secure. In return, you’ll get a devoted little shadow who will love you with his whole heart. If you’re looking for a loyal, affectionate companion with a big personality and an even bigger heart, Bentley might just be your perfect match.

Bentley's adoption donation is $350 and he is being fostered in Central Ohio. He has been neutered, microchipped, received his rabies, distemper/parvo, bivalent canine influenza, and bordetella vaccines, tested negative for heartworms, and started on prevention. Bentley has also had a dental cleaning.

PLEASE NOTE:   If you are viewing this biography on a website other than the Ohio Fuzzy Pawz website like Petfinder, Adopt-a-Pet, or another search engine (the OFP website is www.ohiofuzzypawz.com), not all information transfers to partner websites in some instances.  If you go to the  individual webpage of our dogs , you will be able to get more information each dog.

Visual breed identification in dogs can be unreliable so, in many cases, we are only guessing at the predominant breed or breed mix.  We get to know each dog as an individual and will do our best to describe each of our dogs based on personality, not by breed label.

Our Adoption Process

The adoption process has several steps involved. Please review prior to submitting an application. Our adoption process is detailed here:  http://www.ohiofuzzypawz.com/info/adoption

Our volunteers work very diligently to process each application and we try to ensure that we are making the best match possible for each dog.  We do not schedule meetings with dogs until an application has been approved.  It can take up to a few weeks to process an application or as little time as a few days, from the time you submit an application, please be prepared to adopt as we cannot hold dogs.

Special Requirements

Some dogs may have special requirements (for example, medications, a fence) -- if you apply for a dog, please be sure to read over the biography completely to see if there are any special needs and if you're home would be suitable.  If we indicate on the dog's biography that a fence is required, this means your home must have a physical fence.  Other dogs may require a "strong vet reference" which indicates that we are looking for a home that has a documented history of veterinary care with previous pets. 

The first step in our process is to submit an online adoption application at www.ohiofuzzypawz.com/forms.  The application MUST include the personal references and veterinary, grooming, and landlord references (if applicable) and their respective contact information.  If you do not include the references and the contact information, your application will be delayed as it CANNOT be processed.  Once the references have been successfully completed, a home visit is then scheduled when a rescue representative can meet all members of the family or residents of the home.  No application is approved prior to the home visit being done.   At that point, the Directors will discuss any and all applications on a foster dog and make a selection--in many cases, there are multiple applications for each dog, so please be understanding that our only priority is the successful placement of each of our foster dogs.

Out of State Adoptions

We do adopt out of state to outstanding applicants, however, our process requires a home visit, so out of state adoptions can take longer.  We do not ship our dogs, adopters should be prepared to pick up the dog in Central Ohio.
