3 years old

Bentley is a very loving, loyal male, 3 years old, medium to large size staffy x terrier mix

Good with cats: Yes Good with dogs: Yes Good with children under 10: not pre-school age Good with children over 10: Yes - although takes a while to get used to anyone new. Needs fencing at least: 1.5m high Can be left alone during work hours: Yes and doesn't bark

Bentley is a very smart energetic boy but also happy to chill if that's what you're doing. He loves chasing his ball until he decides when he's had enough.

Adores sleeping in front of the fire and puts himself in his crate to sleep all night. Loves car rides, has handled up to 6 hour trips brilliantly. His foster has a couple of towels on the floor by the patio doors and he will come in from outside and lie on the towels with his feet in the air until the foster drys them off, a very smart boy.

Would suit a family with older children and perhaps a second dog, takes a while to warm to new people and surroundings but once settled in, he is a fabulous boy.
