Hi everyone! I’m Bentley, a five-year-old Golden and Lab mix. Somewhere between my last home and a shelter, I lost my people, but Homeward Bound picked up the plot from there, and I’m ready for my next chapter.

Now, about that next chapter. I just put in a full shift as the unofficial assistant on a stack of adoption bios, and the deal was that I’d get a stellar write-up of my own once the last dog was done. For the record, I was an ideal coworker: I parked myself right on top of my human’s feet, took the occasional snuggle break with my chin in her lap, and patiently waited for my turn. Staying right by your side is what I do best. Clip on my leash and I’ll glide along like we’ve done it a thousand times. When the mood strikes, I’ll fling my whole body at you in one big flop, because sometimes a dog just needs to be a blanket. Toys and balls aren’t really my thing. You are my favorite thing. I like being close so much that I’ll go looking for you. And I’m a certified Houdini, so people who are around a lot and a a secure yard with person who double-check the latch go a long way.

I prefer your company or that of a gentle, calm dog. Cats might be OK with slow introductions. I do best with older kids in a quiet household where I can be part of the action without too much commotion.

After a day on the job, I know how these things end, so here goes: I’m looking for a calm home, daily walks, and an open lap, do you think that’s you?
