😭💔 Bentley Blue sits at the fence everyday in the play yard staring at the parking lot. We can only think it’s because he’s waiting for his new family. 😢 Since FEBRUARY - he patiently sits - watching many family’s come in & leave - not with him - but all of his friends. 😮💨 While he is happy his buddies get adopted he doesn’t understand WHY he’s not good enough. ❤️🩹
We are BEGGING YOU TO SHARE Bentley Blue! We have talked to many people about him & he is so deserving!! 🥹🙏🏼
BB is available for ADOPTION at Fairfax County Animal Shelter! They shared the following -
“Bentley Blue has stolen the hearts of our shelter staff and volunteers alike! He is a handsome 66lb house hippo who has an affectionate and loyal personality. He enjoys cuddles, kisses, and sploots in the grass next to his besties. He is a happy ball of energy, ready to join your exercise routine! He hasn’t met a toy he doesn’t love, and watching him joyfully throw them around will bring a huge smile to your face! He knows some basic obedience, but he would love an active family who will take his training to the next level. He’s a smart boy with so much potential to learn!
Bentley Blue can be fearful of new people or situations, and he’s working on his doggy social skills. To ensure that he’s a good fit for your pack, we require the entire household to meet him prior to taking him home, including any resident dogs. Interested in meeting him? Great! To help set Bentley Blue and their adopter up for success, potential adopters who are a good fit will meet with a member of our Behavior or Animal Care leadership team to discuss the dog’s needs and make a great match! To learn more and to inquire about arranging a visit, check in with our Customer Care Staff at the front desk, email us at [email protected], or call 703-830-1100 (Michael R. Frey Campus) or 703-324-0299 (Lorton Campus ) and let us know you would like to meet Bentley Blue.
This pet is eligible for an Adoption Audition! What is an Adoption Audition? It’s a 5-day, no-strings-attached, trial adoption period. You can take this pet home to try it out! Interested? Come to the shelter any time during open hours and talk to one of our Customer Care staff!”
