About Bandit

Bandit is an outgoing 8-year-old neutered male merle-headed white rough Collie. He thrives on human companionship and loves being around other dogs, easily recognizing his fellow Collies from afar. Bandit has made great strides in his health; he is up to date on vaccinations, heartworm negative, and has had a thorough dental cleaning. Due to a history of being kept in conditions that exacerbated his sunburn situation, he now requires a careful approach to sun exposure. Daily walks during cooler hours have become a part of his routine, and he enjoys his walks, especially in a Joyride harness. Bandit is house trained, making him a wonderful addition to any home. This sweet dog is looking for a caring family that will provide him with a primarily indoor lifestyle filled with love, quality nutrition, and some gentle spoiling. His perfect home would include a securely fenced yard, gentle human companionship, and a commitment to his health care needs.
