About Banjo local dog

Meet Banjo, a lively Blue Heeler mix who's all about happiness and friendliness. At 2 years old and weighing 55 pounds, he brings a lot of energy and affection to the table. Originally from Mississippi, Banjo found his way to a loving home in New England, thriving on a farm. Unfortunately, due to financial situations, his family needs to find him a new home, but they promise that he’s ready to continue spreading joy wherever he goes. Banjo's cheerful demeanor means he often wants to greet everyone he meets. Whether he's out exploring fields or enjoying town outings, he’ll happily make new friends. He lives indoors, is housebroken and crate-trained, and he walks well on a leash. While he enjoys the company of other dogs, he likes a bit of privacy during mealtime. As a Blue Heeler mix, Banjo has a strong prey drive, making a cat-free and chicken-free home essential. He needs an active family that can offer him plenty of outdoor adventures and exploration. If you're looking for a loyal and fun-loving companion, Banjo might just be the one for you! All dogs are up to date on vaccinations and spayed/neutered at the time of adoption. Ready to meet Banjo?
