Breed Info:
Australian Shepherds are known for their intelligence, loyalty, and boundless affection. They are energetic and curious, loving both physical and mental stimulation. With proper training, they become devoted companions, always eager to bond with their families. Banjo’s loving and gentle personality makes him ideal for homes that can provide exercise, structure, and plenty of attention.

Owner Responsibilities:
Banjo thrives with consistent care, exercise, and interaction. Daily walks, playtime, and mental stimulation will keep him happy and healthy. Provide him with a balanced diet, regular grooming, and continued positive training — and you’ll have a loyal best friend who adores you unconditionally.

Things to Consider Before Adopting:
Before bringing Banjo home, consider:

• Do you have time for daily walks, play, and quality bonding?

• Are you ready for a medium-high energy dog who loves to stay active?

• Is your home and landlord pet-friendly?

• Can you commit to a dog for his entire lifetime, through moves, life changes, and everyday life?

• Are you prepared to continue training and enrichment throughout his life?

A dog is forever family — make sure you’re ready to open your heart and home completely.

Vet Care:
Banjo is healthy, vaccinated, and neutered. Even though he’s in great shape, please schedule a visit with your trusted vet soon after adoption to establish ongoing care and wellness.

The 3-3-3 Rule & Commitment for Life:
The first 3 days: Let him decompress and get comfortable with his new surroundings.
The first 3 weeks: Banjo will learn your home, your routine, and begin to trust you completely.
The first 3 months: He’ll know he’s truly home, safe, and loved.
Adoption is a lifelong promise — a commitment to love, patience, and joy that grows every day.

Why Banjo Would Be a Great Addition:
Banjo’s gentle, loving nature and playful spirit make him a true heart-stealer. He’s a dog who will follow you around with loyalty, greet you with joy, and curl up beside you at the end of the day, reminding you that home is where the heart is. Banjo isn’t just a dog — he’s a companion, a confidant, and a friend who will fill your life with laughter, love, and warmth every single day. ❤️
