Meet Banjo! After a tough life on the streets and many months at the shelter he was rescued and put into foster. His foster dad says he’s such a good, happy boy. Now it’s time for Banjo to find His Forever home. He’s 5 yrs. old, neutered, up–to-date on shots and Healthy. Banjo loves people and is dog friendly. He enjoys long walks and trips to the park, but his favorite past time is never-ending belly rubs.
This beautiful Boy is currently fostering with many other 'bully" breeds in our program. His current foster caregiver understands and is experienced with the ability and nature of the breed. We still require an owner that has prior experience with large and or "bully" breeds. He is amazing around people but, proper introductions to new dogs is a must. Banjo's previous owner didn't treat him with the love and attention he needs so he is now getting it with hisfoster home. He loves to sit on your lap as if he is a lap dog. However, like most bully breeds, Banjo needs structure and boundaries. He needs a confident, firm pack leader to help him maintain his place in the pack. When we say this, we do not mean that someone needs to be rough with him or use excessive negative training methods. Rather, Banjo simply needs an owner who will continue to use his training commands, exercise him regularly, and have him follow house rules.
Please tell us a little bit about yourself and your living situation prior to inquiring about this dog.
PLEASE NOTE: YOU MUST HAVE PRIOR PIT BULL, MASTIFF, AMERICAN BULLDOG, OR OTHER BULLY BREED EXPERIENCE TO ADOPT THIS TYPE OF BREED FROM US. YOU ALSO MUST TELL US A BIT ABOUT YOUR LIVING SITUATION, IE: KIDS, OTHER ANIMALS, ACTIVITY LEVEL, ETC

Please read everything below, most of your questions may be answered in our description.
All dogs in our program are up to date on all their shots, dewormed, licensed, spayed or neutered, and micro chipped. Also included is a free health check by our licensed veterinarian. The dogs that come out of our program are very well socialized when they leave, both with people, and other dogs. It is up to the new owners to maintain this. All of our dogs, young and old are crate trained. This gives the new owner a head start for house breaking, and to curb any separation anxiety and or destructive behavior. Most of our dogs are in foster homes and we are able to tell you lots about each of their personalities. We do not place dogs on a first come first serve basis, but rather to the home best suited for them. An adoption fee, application, and contract are required. Please direct all questions to smashfacerescue911@yahoo. All our dogs can be seen 7 days a week by appointment ONLY. We are located in Van Nuys 91405. If you are interested in setting up a day and time please send us an e-mail.
Thank you in advance,
The Bully Connection

The Facility is 100% BARK FREE, cage and kennel free (except for feeding and sleeping). We specialize in anger management for dogs, dog to dog aggression, dog to human aggression, dog to dog introductions, boundaries, and overall socialization for your bully.Founded by a 20 year specialist and expert in dog aggression, Pit Bulls, Mastiffs, and American Bulldogs.
