About Bandit

Meet Bandit! Bandit is a 9-month-old puppy searching for his forever home. He was bottle-raised after being rescued from a steel mill in Houston, along with his seven siblings. While his siblings quickly found homes, Bandit ended up on a large property with limited training and attention. Unfortunately, when typical puppy behaviors arose, his family decided to give him up rather than provide the guidance he needed. Luckily, Bandit has gotten a second chance and is ready to learn and thrive! He has come a long way in his training. Bandit is fully crate trained and sleeps soundly in his crate at night, is potty trained, and knows how to sit and respond to his name. He's also discovered how to play with toys and interact appropriately with other dogs — skills he hadn't learned before. This playful pup thrives in the company of other dogs who enjoy his energy. A home with a fun canine companion would be ideal. However, he sees cats as toys and loves to chase them, so a cat-free home is best unless his new family is committed to training. Bandit is fully vaccinated, neutered, and up-to-date on heartworm and flea prevention. With patience and love, he will continue becoming the wonderful companion we know he can be. If you're ready for a loving, energetic young dog to share your life with, Bandit could be the perfect fit! What are you waiting for? Apply today!
