About this Dog
BENTLEY HAS DENTAL WORK SCHEDULED FOR THE WEEK OF JULY 7th AND WILL BE AVAILABLE FOR ADOPTION AFTER. Bentley is an 8 year old male Shih Tzu who weighs in at 12 pounds. This dog's adoption fee is $400. If you are still interested, please read more below. Bentley is a very calm and potentially very loving little boy. He came from a situation with little or no loving human interaction. He has warmed up considerably since coming into foster care but tends to be a bit cautious. His foster can come up to him and although his tendency is to back away he doesn't really run away. It is pretty easy to pick him up and he is very calm. He shows no signs whatsoever of aggression or defensiveness. Bentley loves having his face and back rubbed. He has quite a few canine companions in his foster home and gets along with them all very well. Bentley is particularly close with Dexter - a 6 year old Maltese that came in with him. If one of the other dogs wants to play with him he pretends to be annoyed but really loves the company. He has the cutest little bark he converses back with them. He is not nearly as wary as Dexter but not one to come run into your arms. Not yet at least. He is not leash comfortable but working on it. He has learned to use the doggie door all on his own. Bentley does not take treats from his foster’s hand but will take them if they are left on the floor for him. He eats very well and gets excited with the rest when their food is being prepared. Bentley needs time and patience to become what his foster is sure will be a very loving companion. Bentley is microchipped, up to date on all vaccinations and neutered. This dog's family will be required to complete a basic obedience course of their choosing. A meeting will not be scheduled until you have an approved application, so if you are interested in adopting this dog, fill out an Online Application today! Once your application has been approved, an ARF volunteer will contact you to arrange a meeting.

Adopt Bentley and Receive Bentley's Fund
Adopting a pet can be expensive, and we're trying to help by fundraising for each individual in need of adoption. After verifying the adoption, Bentley's new family will receive the funds that their pet has raised.
$0.0 is Bentley's current balance
The adopting family is the only party eligible to receive the contribution. If you adopted the Bentley, thank you for providing a home and a loving family!
Please begin the process of claiming Bentley's contribution here.
For adoptions in which nokillnetwork.org was the matchmaker and we have contact information for both parties, we make every effort to contact the adopting family. For adoptions that were not facilitated by nokillnetwork.org, we still encourage the adopting family to claim the contribution by submitting the necessary information.
The adopting family is the only party eligible to receive the contribution. The adopting family will be required to provide proof of adoption between 4-6 weeks after adoption. This is to ensure that the home is a good match and Bentley was not returned. After we have verified the adoption, Bentley’s balance will be sent to the adopting family. Our staff provides instructions and help throughout this process.
We want the Bentley’s balance to go to the adopting family as a way to say thank you for providing a loving home and to help with pet care expenses. In the unfortunate event we cannot contact them and verify the adoption, Bentley’s balance will remain in our general fund. This fund may be used to match contributions made to other adoptable pets, incentify other adoption-related actions, promote our mission, or support the operating expenses of nokillnetwork.org. If you would like to make a direct contribution to nokillnetwork.org to help us help other pets in need, you can go here. We appreciate your generosity and help!
