About Bandicoot

Meet Bandicoot, a sweet 3-month-old Yellow Lab Mix weighing around 20 lbs. This little guy has had a challenging start, learning that the world can be a safe and loving place. He's made great strides in adjusting to his new home and has become almost completely potty trained. Bandicoot knows how to sit (from a distance, of course) and is eager to build trust—tossing treats his way will go a long way in winning his heart. He loves being near you, seeking warmth and affection, and adores his foster mom and her children, aged 8 and 3. His foster siblings, Hippo and Gator, have been wonderful companions, teaching him the joys of being a dog. Bandicoot is learning to embrace new experiences like playing with toys and riding in the car but still needs help overcoming his fears of leashes, unfamiliar people, and new environments. Bandicoot needs a patient and understanding adopter who can continue to help him grow into the confident and brave dog he can be. If you're up for the challenge, apply to adopt him today, and he promises to return your love tenfold!
