Bentley's Story

If you are looking for a dog that needs and truly deserves a stable loving forever.. you have just stumbled on the jackpot. Meet Bentley! His entire life has consisted of failure after failure, pain, resilience, and the lowest of lows. Bentley has been on the streets for an unknown amount of time, was picked up by animal control, adopted to an unfit family, then again dumped on the streets... this cycle continued for 6 STRAIGHT YEARS. It is unknown how many families have failed him and given no care for his fragile gentle heart. Somewhere along the way Bentley suffered an accident that left his femur protruding from his leg, a totally shattered jaw bone, and broken canine teeth with the nerves exposed.. did he receive care then? No. Person after person passed him by allowing him to suffer in the most cruel and crippling pain imaginable until his injuries healed on their own: improperly placed and arthritic from months if not years of never ending pain. We are fortunate to have gotten word of this boy when he was again taken in by animal control. That’s when we as a rescue knew we had to step in. Our precious Bentley, we are so sorry so many failed you. We promise to find you a forever worth living. Bentley is now a tripod with a wonky smile, big heart, and a few teeth missing. Pain no more, clear skies, and rainbows ahead for this gentle, loving, GOODEST OF GOOD BOYS!<br/><br/>BE HIS MIRACLE! Make a difference in his life, and show him how kind and caring you can be.
