Bentley’s journey to rescue is one of survival, healing, and second chances.
Bentley suffered a brutal attack by another dog that left him with a serious wound. His family immediately sought emergency veterinary care, where the injury was cleaned and Bentley was sent home. Unfortunately, the wound later became severely infected and it became clear that he needed much more extensive medical treatment.
His family tried to get him the help he needed, but as Bentley’s condition became more complicated, his care became overwhelming. With few options left, they made the heartbreaking decision to surrender him to their local animal shelter.
Because of the severity of his injuries and the level of medical care he required, Bentley was immediately placed on the euthanasia list.
When the shelter sent out an urgent plea asking rescues to save him, Yorkie Rescue Houston said YES.
We picked Bentley up and took him straight to our veterinarian, where he underwent surgery to debride and thoroughly clean the infected wound. A drainage tube was placed to help the area heal, and Bentley began a course of strong antibiotics along with daily hydrotherapy.
When Bentley returned to the veterinarian to have his drainage tube removed, the difference was remarkable. His body was healing beautifully, and this sweet boy had already come so far.
Now Bentley is ready for the next chapter of his story.
Bentley is an incredibly chill, laid-back boy who seems happiest simply being close to his people. After everything he has experienced, we are looking for a special home that understands that physical wounds can heal faster than emotional ones.
Bentley needs a patient, compassionate family willing to give him the time and security he needs to fully understand that he is safe. He deserves a home where he will never again have to wonder what comes next—a home filled with kindness, consistency, and love.
Bentley survived the hardest part.
Now he just needs someone to show him what forever feels like. A home with NO STAIRS!
