Bentley - Australian Cattle Dog Blue Heeler and Shepherd Dog Available for Adoption in Lafayette, Colorado

Bentley is one of those puppies who just wants to be where his people are. He's incredibly affectionate and loves attention, always happiest when he's close by and part of whatever you're doing.

He has the sweetest face, with bright eyes and soft, fuzzy hair that make him hard to resist. Bentley is a true cuddle bug and will gladly soak up as much love as you're willing to give.

At the same time, he's growing more confident every day. He's starting to engage more in play with his siblings and is learning that the world doesn't revolve entirely around his humans (even if he'd prefer it did). It's been really fun to watch his independence slowly build.

Bentley would do best in a home where someone is around often, or with another dog to help keep him company and continue building his confidence.

Bentley and his siblings overcame parvo early on and have bounced back into happy, resilient puppies ready for their next chapter.

He loves other dogs, has been around a patient cat (and is learning not to chase), and is great with kids. He's smart, treat motivated, and while not potty trained yet, he's already doing well with potty pads.

He is neutered, microchipped, up to date on vaccinations, and being fostered in North Denver.
