My story

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

Bandit is a one year old, 36 pound, shepherd mix. He was rescued in the desert in California, and his finger send him back to Cleveland for his mother. Unfortunately, her two senior shepherds, do not appreciate, Bandit’s level of activity. He was sadly surrendered to the Ark and taken to New Hope Pet Vet where he received a thorough physical and dental examination, received all of his vaccinations, was neutered, and treated for worms. He’s currently on advantage, multi for flea tick heartworm mite prevention. He returns to New Hope in two weeks, 6/3, for booster vaccinations as he had never received any. He’s pictured here with a 44 pound dog at the Ark name Tucker, so you can see he has long legs. He is housebroken, he’s very playful, and would make a great dog for older kids. He would not be appropriate for anyone under five as he would easily knock them down. If you’d like to make an appointment to visit this fan, living guy, email us or give us a call to set up an appointment. To help offset his vetting costs, he has an adoption fee $175.
