History: Bengal is a handsome little fella who is doing well after being returned to rescue. He does take time to meet and feel comfortable around strangers. This could take all of 4 minutes or could be 4+ days with new people. Trust is hard for him but give him time on his terms without pushing him into loving us people, and he becomes your best friend and very loyal and loving to his people. He hopes to find his forever home soon!
A Note from the Foster: 🐾 Meet Bengal — Your Next Best Friend Is Waiting!
If you’re looking for a cuddle bug who will steal your heart (and your lap), Bengal is your guy. This sweet, good-natured boy is everything you hope for in a dog — affectionate, smart, and genuinely easy to love.
Life with Bengal looks like this:
Lazy Sunday mornings with a warm dog curled up beside you. Evening walks through the neighborhood. A pup who already knows sit and down — and learned both in a single day. Yes, really.
Here’s what makes him special:
• 💤 Fully potty trained & crate trained — sleeps through the night without a peep
• 🛏️ Flexible sleeper — happy in his crate or snuggled up in your bed
• 🐕 Gets along beautifully with large dogs — he even holds his own in a tug-of-war with a 90-pound dog!
• 🦮 Good on leash — he’s a bit of a zig-zaggy explorer, but we’re working on it and he’s making progress
• 🧠 Quick learner with an eagerness to please — and treats make him very motivated to show off
• 🧸 A true toy lover — he plays hard and is working on sharing his favorites. He’s made real progress and continues to improve every day
• 🏷️ Still learning to respond to his name, so patience and consistency will go a long way
Best fit:
Bengal would thrive in a home that can keep up with his energy through daily walks and shower him with the love he absolutely gives back. Have treats handy — training this boy is a genuine joy. A family that understands he’s still growing and learning will help him become the best version of himself. He would do best in a cat-free home.
Adoption Fee: $510 + tax
Adoption Status: Is this dog available? Submitting an application is the best first step to learning if a dog is still available. There is a chance this dog could have a pending adoption when your application is submitted, however our team will offer approved applicants to be put on a waiting list for that dog. Additionally, we can make recommendations on other dogs that may be a match. Pending adoptions do not mean the adoption is finalized. Why did we implement this change? We implemented this update because, unfortunately, dogs were pending for applicants for several weeks and then the applicant would change their mind. This happens more often with puppies, as applications are submitted impulsivly more often for them. Our process is great because it takes a little time, so impulsive decisions fade. However it was unfortunate for the dogs, and the foster homes, as then the process needed to be re-started. By securing a wait-list we are able to move forward more quickly if a pending adoption falls through. This is a new process for us, so your feedback along the way is helpful! Thank you for supporting rescue and adoption!
