Meet BENTLEY 💙<br/>3 years old • Neutered • Heartworm negative • Fully vetted • Professional shadow)<br/><br/>Hi. I’m BENTLEY.<br/>I’m a 3-year-old heeler with a soft heart, a loyal soul, and just enough quirks to keep life interesting.<br/>Let’s get the basics out of the way:<br/>✔️ Neutered<br/>✔️ Heartworm negative (been there, beat that)<br/>✔️ Up to date on everything<br/>✔️ Great with dogs of all sizes and ages<br/>✔️ Cat curious but respectful (have passed outside cat tests on leash)<br/>✔️Chickens pique his curiosity, but with proper management and consistent training he can likely live safely with them. <br/><br/>Now that we’ve handled the résumé portion…<br/><br/>My Personality:<br/>I am what you might call a Velcro gentleman.<br/><br/>I bond fast to my people. The ones who feed me, show me kindness, and speak gently? Those are my forever humans. I will follow you room to room like your quiet, devoted assistant.<br/><br/>I love to lay next to you while you watch TV or work on the computer. Not in an anxious way — just in a “we’re a team, right?” kind of way.<br/><br/>I also happen to be very fond of men (Farmer Jack is my current favorite human, but I’m open to applications).<br/><br/>My Quirks (Because Everyone Has Them)<br/>• I’m a door bolter… in recovery.<br/>I used to think open doors were invitations to the Olympics. I’m learning impulse control and making great progress.<br/>• I “pancake.”<br/>If I think I’m in trouble, I dramatically melt onto the floor and roll over like a submissive croissant. It’s both heartbreaking and slightly theatrical. I’m learning that raised voices don’t live here anymore.<br/>• I wake up early sometimes and like to announce the sunrise. I’m working on that too.<br/>• I crate well once settled, but I prefer knowing where my people are. I’m still building confidence being alone.<br/><br/>The Important Stuff:<br/>I have a scar on my lip from a past scuffle. It’s healed, but it tells a story. Whatever my early chapters looked like, I didn’t always win.<br/><br/>Despite that, I am gentle. Submissive. Kind.<br/><br/>I do wonderfully with other dogs and would likely thrive with a confident canine buddy. I take cues well and don’t start drama.<br/><br/>Heelers aren’t for everyone — we’re smart, loyal, and emotionally intense — but I’m in my mellow 3-year-old era. I’m not a wild puppy. I’m a thoughtful project dog who will absolutely blossom with someone willing to invest in me.<br/><br/>Who I’m Looking For<br/>• A home without chickens<br/>• A secure yard (remember… former Olympic door bolter)<br/>• Someone who appreciates loyalty<br/>• Someone patient and consistent<br/>• Possibly a dog friend (or two)<br/>• A human who wants a shadow, a sidekick, and a best friend<br/><br/>I am not a “plug and play” golden retriever.<br/><br/>I am a loyal, slightly sensitive, incredibly devoted heeler who will bond deeply with my person.<br/><br/>And if you’re the right person?<br/><br/>I will be your dog.<br/>Quirks and all. 💙
