Meet Bentley — A Loving Dachshund Seeking His Forever Home

Black & Tan • Long‑Haired • Male • 5 Years • 9kg

Bentley is a sweet‑natured, intelligent dachshund who has settled beautifully into foster care. He has bonded quickly with the resident senior dachshund — they cuddle, eat peacefully side‑by‑side, and share space with no issues. Bentley loves affection and will gently nudge your hand to remind you that pats should never stop.

Personality Highlights

  • Quick learner who adapts fast to new routines
  • Enjoys sofa cuddles and being close to his humans
  • A loyal shadow — you’ll never be alone in the bathroom
  • Not overly playful yet, but loves his walks
  • Gets excited when seeing people or dogs and may pull on the lead
  • Calm, affectionate, and gentle in the home

Current Training Progress

  • House Training — Fully toilet trained. Needs a verbal cue to go outside. Like many dachshunds, he dislikes the rain but will eventually go.
  • Lead Skills — Loves walks but pulls, especially when excited. Will benefit from continued loose‑lead training.
  • Social Skills — Initially cautious with new people but warms up with patience and treats. Still working on calm behaviour around other dogs during outings.

Daily Care

  • Diet: Eats dry and wet food. Not a big fan of dental sticks but will have one eventually.
  • Exercise: Enjoys regular walks and outdoor time.
  • Sleep: Settles well overnight when sleeping with family.
  • Behaviour: No food or toy aggression. Shares well with other dogs.

Bentley Would Thrive In a Home With:

  • Patient owners committed to ongoing training and socialisation
  • A calm, structured environment
  • Either a solo‑dog home or one with another friendly dachshund
  • A secure yard for safe exploring and toilet breaks
  • People who understand he may need time to warm up to strangers

Health Status

  • Desexed
  • Microchipped
  • Fully vaccinated
  • Flea & tick treated
  • Wormed
  • Veterinary checked
