Meet Bentley - the gentle boy with a heart full of love! Bentley is a handsome and lovable large/medium boy who is looking for his forever home. Bentley may be a big boy in size, but his heart is even bigger!
Bentley’s journey has not been an easy one. Rescued as a puppy, he spent his early years in a Romanian vet clinic after being diagnosed with diabetes. Despite his condition, Bentley remained a sweet and affectionate pup, but sadly, no rescues offered to take him on due to the ongoing medical costs. That’s when we stepped in and brought him to the UK in June 2024, giving him the second chance he truly deserves.
Since arriving in the UK, Bentley has flourished! With regular vet visits and medication, his diabetes is now stable. He is such a trooper and takes his daily medications and regular blood tests in stride. Bentley is THE most patient, gentle, and loving dog you’ll ever meet, and his calm, positive nature makes him a joy to be around. Bentley’s diabetes does require him to follow a strict diet to keep his glucose levels stable. His adoptive family will need to commit to maintaining this routine, but Bentley’s loving nature and wonderful personality make it all worthwhile.
He gets along beautifully with other dogs and has also lived alongside cats in the vets, so he’d be happy in a multi-pet household. His favourite things include sunbathing, cuddling with his human friends, and being the centre of attention (he’s quite the charmer!). Bentley has won the hearts of everyone who meets him, and it's impossible not to smile when you see his sweet face.
Despite his remarkable qualities, Bentley has had little interest from potential adopters. We believe this is largely due to his ongoing medical condition even though he rarely needs to see a vet now that his condition is well under control. As a charity, we are committed to continuing Bentley’s insulin medication costs for as long as necessary, but what he truly needs now is a family who will appreciate his kind spirit and give him the love he deserves.
Please note that Bentley would thrive in an adult-only home where he can live safely with his strict diet and no temptation for food outside of his prescribed meals.
If you think you can offer Bentley the loving home he deserves, please pop on to our website and complete a pre-adoption application at https://www.savingandrehomingstrays.org/dog-application-form. (Please note a home check and adoption donation will apply).
We know Bentley has so much love to give, and with your help, he’ll find the perfect home where he can live the rest of his days surrounded by warmth, love, and cuddles. Thank you for considering giving this incredible boy the life he deserves!
