Bentley - GA

Greetings Friends! My name is Bentley! I’m a two-year-old, black and gray spotted German Shorthaired Pointer. I’m a male and weigh 60 pounds. I used to live with a nice family but unfortunately, they didn’t have enough time for me and realized that a GSP is quite a unique dog so they made the difficult decision to surrender me.

I was surrendered to the nice and caring folks at Coco’s Cupboard. They have all types of dogs and cats there. Coco’s Cupboard understands that GSP’s are distinctive and that I thrive on exercise, running and vigorous activity coupled with my natural instinct to hunt.  Staying active is necessary for me to be at my best. Coco’s Cupboard read about a great organization called the Southeast German Shorthaired Pointer Rescue and reached out to them to help me find a permanent foster home with a family that will help me find my way to my permanent forever home. The SEGSP Rescue have been kind and gracious to allow me to have my information posted on their website while I am staying at Coco’s Cupboard.

My Temperament – I’m a little apprehensive around new people until I get to know them. I like to observe people I don’t know before I will go up to them. Once I get to know you, then I want to spend lots of time with you and run and play. I love the outdoors and have been told that I’m good at training activities that are done with patience, fun and intermixed with exercise.

At Home – I’m house broken and crate trained. I have a sensitive nature and am playful and affectionate. I even love to cuddle a lot. About my meal times, I have to eat my meals in my crate because I’m possessive of my food when eating and have been known to take food off the kitchen counter. I need to learn that I’m not the boss. I know that with patience and positive training, I can learn to eat my meals like a gentleman. I am very motivated with treats so they are a good motivator for me while training.

Friends – I’ve met lots of nice people and other dogs at Coco’s Cupboard. I have many dog friends in every breed, shape and size. I enjoy playing with all of them! I enjoy people friends as well but if you are a push over, I may try to be in charge so I’ll need consistent rules and guidance from you. I will do my best to learn my manners with your help. I’m not familiar with being around young kids so being with adults is best for me at this time.

Activities – I love to run and my breed is known for hunting, pointing and retrieving. I have prey driven tendencies and will follow scents until I find what I’m looking for.

My Forever Family - I would love to find an active, patient family that will help me find my confidence and take me on lots of fun adventures! Please complete the following application for a meet and greet to determine that we are a good match and suitable for each other: https://www.shelterluv.com/matchme/adopt/COCO/Dog

If I am fortunate to be chosen by you to join your family, I will forever be your devoted and loyal companion and will do my best to be an awesome family pal. I really look forward to meeting you!
