In the shelter’s words
Breed: Shih Tzu / Pomeranian X DOB: 12/2016 Gender: male Altered: yes Coat: medium Size: small Color(s): tawn/blond Description: ***Needs a Foster Home*** This dog is in need of a foster home as well as a permanent home. If you are interested in fostering please fill out an online foster application. Hi, I'm Bentley, a distinguished senior gentleman with a heart of gold, who is seeking a forever family to call my own. I'm a unique mix of Shih Tzu and Pomeranian, with a tan/blond coat that shines like the sun.As a senior pup, I've learned a lot about life and love, and I'm hoping to find my perfect match with a family who understands my needs. You see, I'm what you might call a "lone wolf." I prefer to be the only dog in the spotlight, receiving all the love and attention. It's not that I don't have enough love to go around; I just like to keep my circle small and intimate. I'm also a bit particular about my resources - I like to keep my things close, and I can be a bit territorial. But don't let that deter you from seeing the sweetness beneath.I'm a feisty and opinionated guy, always up for an adventure or a good treat. I enjoy my walks and exploring new scents, and I'm house trained, so I know my manners. I'm also very affectionate and love spending time with my people; I just ask that they be female adults who understand my unique personality.In the right home, with the right family, I will shine and be the loyal companion you've always dreamed of. So, if you're looking for a dog with character, wisdom, and a whole lot of love to give, I may be the guy you've been waiting for. Please fill out an online application to meet me.

Plan a visit with the source organization
1. Before making your selection, please consider the following. https://www.pawsandlearn.org/contact After reading, select a dog that interests you and fits your lifestyle. For puppies under 11 months old, children in the home must be at least 6 years old. 2. Everyone in the household needs to spend some time interacting with the dog. If you already have a dog in your household, please bring your dog over to meet the dog you’ve selected. All dogs and people in the home must meet the dog you’ve selected. 3. Fill out an adoption application form (note: filling out an application DOES NOT guarantee an adoption). 4. An Adoption Counselor will review the application. Upon approval of the application, you will be contacted to submit pictures/videos to confirm that the fencing and gates are secure, and the yard is safe for the dog. 5. No dog is ever adopted from the program without a home check. 6. If more than one application is submitted for a given dog, our adoption committee will select the home that is best suited for the dog’s needs. 7. The entire adoption process can take up to one week. 8. The adoption process is concluded when an Adoption Contract is completed and the non-refundable adoption fee is paid. 9. Our non-refundable adoption fees per dog are: $300 for puppies up to 6 months old $250 for puppies over 6 months old and under 1 yr old $225 for dogs 1 yr old and under 8 yrs old $175 for senior dogs 8 yrs old and up If you can increase the adoption fee for the dog you are adopting, please do so. Any amount over the adoption fee is tax-deductible. If you cannot, please remember us during the holiday gift giving season and for donations of dog toys, dog beds, blankets and other items all rescue groups need. But most importantly PLEASE remember to tell your friends who FALL IN LOVE with your dog (because they will) to ADOPT, don't breed or buy.
