Bentlee B

Bentlee B found her new forever home via Southeast Pug Rescue & Adoption. Bentlee had a bad skin infection and was surrendered to the rescue group by her owners. SEPRA nursed Bentlee back to health and then set out to find the sweet pug a new forever home.

Bentlee's new family saw her picture and her story on the SEPRA website and just couldn't resist that cute little face. The family submitted an adoption application for the little pug and was ecstatic when their heard back from the rescue organization the next week. The adoption process had officially started!

During the adoption process the whole family was very excited. They received an e-mail with pictures of their new baby girl and found out more about her personality. The family's two daughters even raised money for Bentlee B's impending adoption by selling frozen cups to their friends.

And then the day finally came. The day they would meet Bentlee and bring her to her new forever home. The family drove to Jacksonville, FL to meet the Bentlee's foster parents. They describe the event as a "sleepless night, like they were expecting a new baby." As soon as they met Bentley, it was love at first sight. Valerie, Bentlee's Mom recalls, "when we finally met her she knew we were her family."

Bentlee has since settled in very nicely to her new forever home. She loves her two new sisters and greets them at the door everyday when they get home from school. Bentlee has also helped her new sisters make friends in their new neighborhood. The girls walk Bentlee every afternoon and the kids in the neighborhood always come by to say hello. Bentlee has just been an all around gift to her new forever family. Valerie says, "Bentlee B is there to comfort you when you feel tired, sick and a little upset. She loves to climb on you and lay down to show you she has love for you. Bentlee B is a wonderful pug and giving her the same love she gives you is even better than words could describe."
