About Banjo

Meet Banjo, a spirited pup weighing in at 40 lbs who believes he's among the giants. Likely a mix of Shar-Pei and Australian Cattle Dog, he embodies a delightful mix of traits and quirks. At around 3 years old, Banjo was found wandering as a stray, leaving us to ponder his past life before making his way to safety in a rural shelter. Banjo is not just friendly with people but also gets along well with other dogs. He enjoys his daily walks and playtime, bringing plenty of joy to all he encounters. Already house-trained and crate trained, he's picking up leash manners as he continues to learn. His eagerness to please shines through, especially when treats are involved—he’s highly motivated and has mastered the command "sit". If you’re looking for a playful and loyal companion who can also bring a bit of silliness to your home, Banjo could be the perfect fit. Click apply to start the adoption process.
