Sunshine Boy
Adopt Bentley
Boy • 3 years old • Sagittarius • Yellow-brown • 19kg • Mixed Breed
My story
Bentley is an optimistic and playful sunshine boy! With his bright smile, he used to be a stray who simply loved people too much. He often played too wildly with strangers, forgetting his large size, which accidentally caused some trouble by jumping on them. After being reported, sweet Bungee didn't resist at all; he willingly hopped into the animal control vehicle and cheerfully entered the Keelung Shelter. He is incredibly friendly, absolutely loves making friends, and enjoys acting affectionate. He is now looking for a forever family that can embrace his endless passion and love!
Personality
Bentley has a classic "ESFP Entertainer" personality. He is enthusiastic, cheerful, and a true social butterfly! He loves interacting with humans and is an affectionate food-lover. He can be quite protective of his own pack. When meeting other dogs, he prefers proactive and enthusiastic playmates. Bentley is opinionated and great at expressing himself. Although he sometimes acts like a confident leader, he is actually very smart and cooperative. If you clearly refuse him or give a command, he will immediately adjust his behavior. He is a thoughtful companion with a great personality.
