My story

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

Hi! My name is bandit. I am a 4-5 month old herding "mutt" (cattle dog, Aussie, border collie and a few other things). I was picked up with my brother (Bear) on an Eastern Utah reservation-- tiny, starved and scared. Luckily we found rescue with Herding Haven and have gained weight and confidence. I am a playful pup. I love wrestling with my doggy foster brothers and sisters. My ideal home would be a with an active family who will walk me daily and take me on fun outdoor adventures on the weekend. Because of my herding dog tendencies, I would not be a good fit for a home with toddlers. Older (> 10 yr) dog savvy kids would be OK. I'm super smart and learn really quick. I already know "sit" and "come". My recall is really good for such a young pup. My foster mom says I will make a great off leash hiking partner when I'm older. I am crate-trained, 90% housebroken and learning to walk on a leash. I am up-to-date on my vaccinations and will come with a neuter discount. If you are interested in meeting me, please contact kathie@herdinghaven.org

More about this rescue

Herding Haven is a non-profit (501c3) organization that rescues and rehabilitates dogs with special needs so that they may become more adoptable. The dogs in our rescue come largely from shelters where they have been deemed "unadoptable" to the general public due to physical disabilities, medical problems and/or behavioral issues. Herding Haven provides medical care, physical and behavioral rehabilitation and then works to very hard to find the dogs the perfect forever home.
