About Bandit

Bandit is a 1-year-old neutered male Miniature Pinscher mix weighing in at 11 lbs. He thrives on companionship and enjoys sticking close to his foster family. His playful spirit shines through as he engages with toys and other dogs. Bandit also has a confident side—he loves to admire his good looks in the mirror! While generally affectionate, he does exhibit anxiety that can lead to reactivity during walks. It's essential for Bandit to find a patient adopter who can help him build confidence and train through this behavior. At home, he’s a lovebug who sleeps quietly in his crate but prefers to roam freely during the day. Potty training isn’t an issue for Bandit; he’s house-trained and sticks to his outside schedule. However, he’ll need a fully-fenced yard due to his prey drive. This young guy would flourish in a home with experience in handling small breeds and someone who can be firm yet loving during training. Bandit is good with other small dogs, though his history with cats and children is unknown. If you’re ready to make a difference in Bandit’s life, submit an application to come meet him soon.
