About Banjo

Meet Banjo, the lovable one-eyed wonder! This playful pup carries his stuffy around, excitedly tossing it in the air, bringing joy to any room. Recently, Banjo had his right eye removed and is blind in his remaining eye. Because of this vision impairment, he thrives in a home with an open layout to help him navigate safely. Banjo is currently mastering clicker training with his foster. He communicates his potty needs by tippy tapping his front paws on the floor, showcasing his cleverness. In his foster home, he gets along well with both dogs and cats, even snuggling with the kitties. Overall, he's a quiet little gentleman and has yet to bark. One quirky trait is his love for rocks, so his future family will need to ensure he's not picking them up during outdoor adventures. This sweet boy is ready to find his forever home!
