🐾 A Year of Waiting… And Still Hoping
Bandit arrived at the shelter “just for two weeks”—but when his family never came back, he stayed. Over the past year, this loyal, loving boy has waited patiently while learning everything he never got to before.
He didn’t know how to walk on leash, didn’t know any commands, didn’t even know how to play. But what he lacked in experience, he made up for in heart.
🌟 A Total Turnaround
Thanks to time, patience, and love from his foster, Bandit has blossomed into an affectionate, playful, and well-behaved dog. He now:
- 🚶 Walks well on leash (loose lead & stays close)
- 🎓 Knows sit, stay, lay down, and even a few fun tricks
- 🧸 Plays with squeaky toys, tug-of-war, and loves rolling in the grass
- 🏃♂️ Is a great jogging partner
- 🛋️ Is crate-free, house-trained, and respectful indoors
He’s got a goofy side too—his “zoomies” after bathroom breaks are sure to make you laugh!
💙 What Kind of Home is Best?
Bandit is looking for a patient, active, and dog-savvy home where he can feel secure and loved. His ideal setup includes:
- ✅ Adults or older teens
- ✅ Possibly a calm female dog (with slow intros)
- ❌ No male dogs, cats, or young kids due to past experiences
He’s on allergy-friendly food and takes monthly meds to stay healthy—easy to manage and well worth it for the love he gives back.
