Put Short Bio here: Meet Mahogany, aka Bentley, a 10-12 week old puppy rescued from a high-kill shelter in Georgia. While a bit timid and adjusting to his new life in NYC, he's gaining confidence quickly. He's very young and impressionable so a great age to train, socialize, and learn, and he catches on to training very quickly. Bentley sleeps comfortably in a playpen (even throughout the entire night) with no issues while we finalize his crate training, and is already being left alone for several periods throughout the day without any negative behavior other than some whining. Though indoor only, we're making use of my apartment's outdoor space so we can housebreak him and get him comfortable outdoors.
Fill out all below:

ALL adoptions require a completed application and final contract. The application can be found at WaldosRescue.org and once you are approved to adopt you will be put in touch with the foster to see if it’s a good match. We are a RESCUE not a shelter. We conduct veterinary and personal reference checks during the application approval process. We are unable to contact every applicant for every dog. We will select the best applicant for each dog, based on the dogs needs.
