Nova Scotia Duck Tolling Retriever puppies and dogs in Portland, Oregon

Meet Bentley, he loves walks, laying in the garden, and will sit at your feet while staring warmly into your eyes. To me he has a sunshine face, you know the type- the ones that practically glow. This face of his, plus his happy, friendly goofy way is a big part of why we believe he may be part lab. Of course in rescue we cannot know a dogs breed with a 100% confidence but look at Bentley and tell me he doesn’t have the looks and presence of a lab. One look at his sunshine face and those sparkling eyes and you’ll know where we see lab, but just in case there is a doubt, we will call him a lab-mix. Take a look at all of his mellow sweetness and charming presence here then come back to read more about Bentley. https://youtu.be/4vv2ci6Vs0M Bentley is estimated to be just over 2 y/o, he weighs 54 lbs and is fully grown. Age along with breed are details we cannot offer with a 100% certainty given he is a rescue but our medical team is experienced in aging dogs based on a variety of consistent factors. His mellow presence alone tells us he is past the puppy days and into his couch companion era. He is a great age for learning and comes with a great pre-set number of skills. Our favorite is his auto-sit! That means when he comes up to you or any one else, he will automatically sit and hit you with those big ol’ eyes and that sweet face of his. In addition to being friendly, smart, and good-company, he is also great with other dogs. Bentley is so fortunate and is being fostered in a dedicated, multi-pet home where he has impressed everyone with the ease he settled into the routine in their home. On top of giving Bentley an opportunity to practice all his best house manners and good-boy skills, being fostered gives us a front row seat to who he is as a house dog and part of a pack. Bentley lives with 7 other dogs, spanning the full range of sizes and ages. From pack walks to everyday time in the yard together while their foster mom gardens, he proved to feel at ease in a pack and was an easy addition. We introduced Bentley to a handful of new dogs to get a feel for his approach to new dogs and his playstyle. He took things slow with each dog, letting them approach him and preferring to keep interactions short initially. If you are looking for a canine companion for your current pet, Bentley is perfectly suited for an easy-going playmate who will let him take his time to open up. A very bouncy, eager friend would be a bit too much for Bentley. His slow and steady approach to life can come across as shy but it isn’t truly a shyness, just a slower pace. If given the chance to be an only dog I do not think Bentley would mind one bit! Your love and affection, regular walks, and a few good toys is his ideal of heaven. Bentley truly has a love for laying in the garden and soaking up the sun and smells, so a home with a yard would be his dream but apartment living with access to open space or a small patio for an occasional nap would be perfect as well. He will benefit from continued practice with his on-leash skills, his pace and presence are great, but continued exposure to new environments and social situations will help build on the beautiful base he already has. Bentley is a classic, good-boy with best-friend energy and a guarantee of loyal companionship. Plus, he is about as cute as they come, in case you didn’t notice. This boy will not be available for long so If you are ready to make the first move- apply! https://adopt.animalsfirst.com/animal/62cc8e128b02916730334440/67ec09aa6c76c3e8500aef49 If you have any questions please email elizabethbower@threelittlepittiesrescue.org We facilitate adoptions across the US through our own internal transport to ensure the quality of care.

Our on-site trainers support the positive growth of our dogs and we enjoy seeing their progress!  Our commitment to comprehensive medical care sets us apart. We've received glowing feedback from veterinarians who commend our dedication to ensuring the health and well-being of every animal in our care with treatments that often go above and beyond. Our adoption fees reflect the extensive care and resources that go into each animal we save. The adoption fee is a donation to the mission and goes far beyond getting a fully vetted pet.  The rescue’s hard costs alone (excluding transport) for a healthy dog to go through our program typically range between $412 to $859, which includes boarding, food, medications, vaccines, and spay/neuter. For heartworm-positive dogs, hard costs are upwards of $1,368. Additionally, dogs requiring extended boarding, extra training, or extra medical care—such as dental work, vision care, or orthopedic care—can lead to expenses running into the thousands. Also, included in the adoption fee are costs to cover transport up to the Pacific Northwest or East Coast. Transport is a significant additional expense to the rescue.  While adoption fees help cover part of these expenses, we want to emphasize that the rescue does not receive government funding and must fundraise to offset the remaining expense balance which ranges $100-1,000++ per animal on these direct costs. It doesn’t stop there!

Our goal is simple— to reduce the homeless pet population through community outreach, free spay and neuter services, and by rescuing animals from the streets or overcrowded shelters where euthanasia due to lack of space is often the only option.

Looking for a sweet golden boy? You found me. I am Jango and I love everyone and everything (though I haven't tried cats yet). I am a sweet boy who is ready to find my forever home with someone who needs a walking pal, a cuddle confidante and a canine vacuum. If you have other dogs... that's great, if not.... that's great too. Just me and you's will work, I am just wanting a family of my very own. *All of The Right to Live dogs are fostered locally in San Antonio Texas and will be transported to other states to their new families upon adoption. We believe fostering dogs and not having them decompress in a kennelled environment is more beneficial for the dogs and builds their trust and companionship in a family situation. Adoption fee includes transportation costs, previous/current medical treatment (spay/neuter, etc.) and a health certificate for cross-state travel*
