Bentley is an adorable and lovable 6 year old Yorkie Poodle mix with the sweetest personality you could ask for. He enjoys spending his days snoozing in a fluffy bed and soaking up as much lap time as possible. Bentley also loves toys and will happily play fetch in his own special way by scooting back and forth to chase them. Everyone who meets him instantly falls in love with what a gentle, affectionate little guy he is.When it is time for an adventure, Bentley absolutely loves getting outside. Walks in his wheelchair are one of his favorite activities, and he enjoys taking in all the sights and smells the world has to offer. Bentley does well with dogs, cats, and children, and his easygoing nature makes him a wonderful companion.Bentley is incontinent and paralyzed in his hind end due to IVDD. Because of this, he is unable to go potty on his own and wears diapers that need to be changed and cleaned several times throughout the day. He is incredibly patient during his care and will scoot right over when it is time for a diaper change, calmly waiting while he is cleaned and changed.His routine is very predictable. Bentley typically has bowel movements after meals, during the night, and sometimes when he gets excited to greet a new friend. His stools are healthy and solid, which makes clean up simple. At night he enjoys sleeping in bed with his person while wearing a diaper and a little outfit to keep everything secure, though he is also perfectly happy sleeping in a cozy bed on the floor.Bentley’s paralysis is very manageable. He happily scoots around the house to get where he needs to go and enjoys spending time in his wheelchair for exercise and fresh air. Most of all, Bentley just wants to be close to his people. He is a loving, resilient little dog who will bring so much joy to the home lucky enough to welcome him.
