My personality

My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

**Adoption Bio for Bandit**

**Meet Bandit!**
Bandit is a stunning 4-year-old shepherd mix with a heart as big as his personality. This gentle and loving boy is neutered and eager to find his forever home where he can thrive as the center of attention.

Bandit has lived with cats before but would do best in a cat-free home, as he has a tendency to pick on them. While he does well with other dogs, his previous owner believes Bandit would truly shine as the only dog in a home, where he can soak up all the love and attention. He is not suitable for homes with small dogs, as he may view them as prey.

Bandit is mostly housebroken but has had some accidents indoors. This behavior could be attributed to living with another intact male dog before being neutered. With consistency and patience, he’s sure to improve! He’s a quick learner and already knows commands like sit, stay, come, and lay down.

This boy loves backyard adventures but has been known to dig and escape, so a secure yard is a must. He’s also afraid of thunderstorms, loud noises, and strangers but warms up quickly to kind and patient people. While he may show some food aggression towards other dogs, he has been wonderful with children and enjoys being surrounded by a loving family.

Bandit is a sweet and sensitive soul who deserves a home where he feels safe and cherished. Could Bandit be the perfect addition to your family? Come meet him and see for yourself—he’s ready to steal your heart!

More about this shelter

We have a small, rural, government-run Animal Control facility dedicated solely to dogs. This entails accepting both owner surrenders and stray animals found on the streets. Our team consists of four dedicated individuals: two full-time Animal Control Officers, one part-time Kennel Tech, and one part-time Animal Care Assistant. We have limited office staff, and our presence in the office may be intermittent. For the most reliable communication, please reach out by phone. While we do not have a voicemail system, calls will be forwarded to our dispatch center where you can leave a message. Additionally, all transactions are by appointment only.
