Bio:
Reintroducing Bento to Our Pack! Back in March, he came to us from Chicago as a 4 month old puppy. Unfortunately not every home is fitting as a forever so he has made his was back to us to find the right family for him!
Bento is a VERY active, excitable boy. As his mix may indicate, his personality really comes as no surprise. Bento is vocal when highly excited such as being able to stretch his legs when you get home. But his happy barks dont last long at all. He plays great with other dogs and would benefit from a companion ready to run and play with him. He is very respectful of the dogs not interested in his antics.
Though very energetic and still being very much young dog, he is eager to please and smart. With a confident owner, he’ll be on a great path in life. Though, small kids are not ideal as he does not know how to control the excitement he feels watching them play. And well, he's a bit clumsy.
Bento does well in a kennel, catch onto routines, hasn't had accidents, and hasn't had issues with resource guarding. If he does do something sassy, he is very easily redirected.

Foster lady read something tonight that really struck a cord. "Most adult dogs in rescue or shelters, were a puppy someone thought they wanted."
And Bento is exactly that. We're now a 1 year old adult, that had a home for a few months, when adopted at 4 months old, until we outgrew puppyhood. The cute tiny snuggles wear away. The energy doesn't disappear overnight. Their need to learn and develop is a forever task.
Bento didn't do anything wrong to end back up in rescue. He just was victim of being super super cute, much smaller, and finding people who didn't commit to the puppy who grew into what they "were looking for"
