About Bandit

Meet Bandit, the energetic heeler who’s ready to steal your heart! At about 9 months old, Bandit was found as a stray, and you can tell he’s all about fun. This playful pup loves to play fetch, often from sunrise to sunset, and he needs a doggy buddy who understands his enthusiasm for the ball. If you're looking for a loyal friend, Bandit will bond closely with the person he chooses as his special human. His joyful personality truly shines through when he smiles, and he definitely has a lot to say! Bandit is best suited for a home in the country, where he can express his natural herding instincts (although he won’t hog the spotlight for long!). He has shown gentle herding behaviors, especially with kids, but he is friendly and not aggressive. While he’s fully house trained, he sometimes gets a little nervous and may piddle. Though Bandit takes a moment to warm up to strangers, he quickly becomes your great companion once he knows you. He walks nicely on a leash and is eager to run along with you. Just keep in mind he hasn't been tested with cats yet. If you’re experienced with heelers and ready for an active partner, Bandit is waiting for you in Lewis Center, OH. Let’s give him the fun home he deserves! Click apply to start the adoption process.
