💔 Meet Bankston — the Brave Boy Who’s Had His Heart Broken 🐾
Bankston and his sister Peanut Butter came to Castoff Pet Rescue for what was supposed to be a short visit while their mom moved into a new home. We promised them it was just temporary, that she’d be back soon.
That was four months ago. And… nothing. No calls, no messages, no mom. Just two confused pups wondering what happened.
While Peanut Butter has rolled with the punches, Bankston has taken it hard. He’s not doing well in the shelter — he’s scared, shut down, and frankly, a little mad at the world right now. And can you blame him? He lost everything he knew. 😞
But underneath that tough exterior is a loyal, sensitive boy who wants to be good — he just needs someone patient enough to help him find his footing again. He seems to trust men a little more easily, but what he really needs is a person who understands dogs, emotions, and the power of second chances.
The right person for Bankston will be:
✅ Experienced with dogs (especially nervous ones)
✅ Ready to start proper training right away — like, STAT
✅ Kind, patient, and consistent
✅ Willing to love him even when he’s scared to love back
If you’re that special someone who can see past the fear and help this boy heal, please reach out. Bankston is ready to learn that forever really can mean forever. ❤️
✨ Bankston doesn’t need perfect. He just needs someone who won’t give up.

More about this rescue
The mission of Castoff Pet Rescue is to save and nurture homeless dogs; to match companion animals with loving, life-long homes; to foster responsible pet care; to control overpopulation in our community through spay/neuter programs; and to assist other shelters and rescue groups in any endeavor to benefit the animals. We believe that the same kindness, compassion, and generosity we extend to our two-legged neighbors should be given to our four-legged friends because they are not able to speak for themselves.
