About Bandit

Bandit is a sweet senior looking for love and companionship. This charming pocket-sized Rottweiler mix weighs about 55 pounds and perfectly balances being affectionate and a bit shy. He adores his humans and eagerly follows you around, always seeking warmth—whether it's from the sun, a heater, or snuggles with you. He is full of personality, often acting like a lap dog as he plops down beside you for a nap. Bandit gets along well with dogs of all sizes and can be a bit goofy during playtime with his foster sister. He is crate-trained and fully house-trained, walking nicely on a leash. His strong desire for food makes him quite treat motivated, and he’s picking up commands like sit and stay in his foster home. Despite being a sweetheart most of the time, Bandit's health issues require careful management. He has hip dysplasia, hyperthyroidism, arthritis, and early-stage kidney disease, which can influence his behavior if his medication isn’t just right or if he gets overwhelmed. For this reason, an experienced dog handler would be the best match for him. Bandit’s monthly medication costs are under $100. He’s ready for his forever family—could that be you?
