My story

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

I am very cute and friendly. Reportedly, I have not done well around cats and other small animals in the past (I chase them), I may do best in a home without smaller animals unless someone has the time to dedicate to training - I am young so I still have a lot to learn. I reportedly did well with potty training in my previous home, and I have done very well with people since I came to the shelter. I`ll make a great companion in the right home.

Foster notes on Bandit:

`Bandit is such a sweet pup! We went on a 3-mile hike, and he loved being outside. He did very well on leash and was super curious and excited! He was really friendly to new people and once he settles in, gets very cuddly and LOVES pets/scratches. He is a total sweetheart and would thrive in any home!`
`Bandit is a wonderful dog very energetic, playful, and full of happy vibes. He loves to play for about 30 minutes and then settles down for a nice 30-minute nap, which makes him a great balance of fun and calm. He has a sweet personality and brings so much joy to the home. He would be absolutely perfect for a young, active family or anyone who enjoys playtime and companionship. Whoever adopts him will be truly lucky to have such a loving and cheerful dog in their life. He loves to watch TV.`

`Bandit is a wonderful dog who is very friendly, playful, and cuddly. He responds well to commands he knows, like `sit,` and picks up new commands pretty fast, like `down,` if he is jumping on you. He has some puppy energy but tires with walks or play. The puppy energy sometimes comes out as jumping on you or others or running outside before he is told to. He wants to be around you all the time, which is wonderful and sweet. The only downside is that he will push through doors to try and follow you (could be problematic when leaving the house through the front door but he has not made an attempt to escape at our house). He does bark at people walking by or animals. He also barks at cats. You can tell that he wants to play with the cats, even though they don`t want to play with him. Though it`s likely he would acclimate to a cat if he was adopted into a house with one or several. He is so sweet and loving. I think he would be very trainable; he`s highly motivated to please people and also treat-motivated.`
