About Bandit

Meet Bandit, a charming 1.5-year-old Chocolate Lab mix who found his way to a loving foster home after being rescued as a stray. He weighs 56 lbs of pure joy and energy, ready to make every day an adventure. Bandit thrives on exploration and enjoys long walks where he can sniff and discover new scents. He’s a fan of car rides, often seen contently gazing out the window or cuddling with his foster parents. Though he has some indoor learning to do, he's already mastered commands like “sit”, “stay”, and “no”. His playful spirit pairs well with his knack for making friends—he gets along great with both dogs and cats, and has a soft spot for kids, too. He’s neutered, microchipped, dewormed, and up to date on vaccinations. While Bandit is house and crate trained, he’d benefit from a patient, dog-savvy owner to help him flourish. Bandit loves to snuggle and is a big fan of belly rubs. He’s not suited for apartment living due to his playful barking. If you're looking for a loyal companion who's ready to share love and adventures, Bandit is waiting for you! Ready to fall in love? Hit apply and lets get started.
