Bentley is a 8-year-old Basenji in Huntsville, AL, who needs $1,222 for Surgery.

I adopted Bentley from a Basenji rescue organization in 2018, and we just passed her third gotcha day! She is 9 years old. She lives with myself, her dog dad Nick, and our other dog Phinn. Bentley keeps us on our toes and is really active. She especially loves trail runs and even learned how to jog alongside her dad on a bicycle. We live in Huntsville, Al.

Bentley lives with her brother Phinn, who is a rat terrier. They are inseparable from each other and from us. Bentley spends her days lounging in any ray of sunshine she can find - usually from the table I built her so she can catch some sunshine while staring out the window. She wants you to believe she is fiercely independent, but is the first one to claim her spot snuggled up next to me in bed.

The last two weeks have amounted to $2,000+ In vet bills. I am in a hard financial position due to my own current medical costs from finding out I have an incurable autoimmune condition with expensive medication. Right now I can’t imagine a life without Bentley. Thank you.

Bentley started vomiting unexplainably two weeks ago. She has been to her vet almost daily and had a plethora of tests ran. Despite this, the results are inconclusive but she is still vomiting. In two weeks, she has lost 5 pounds. Our veterinarian believes surgery will be in her best interest to see what is going on inside her stomach and correct whatever is causing her to be so sick.

Bentley is incredibly special because she’s so full of life. She loves to go on walks, hikes, trail runs, bike rides, and to the dog park (where she thinks she is boss!). She keeps me on my toes and life with her is anything but boring. She’s always impressing me with how smart she is, and can solve canine puzzles in her sleep!
