Story
Meet Bandit, an adorable little Chihuahua weighing around 12 pounds and estimated to be 11 years old. Bandit was found as a stray, and sadly, no one came looking for him. We don`t know much about his past, but we`re pretty sure his future should involve a comfy bed, a loving family, and absolutely no more adventures on the streets. Bandit has the quirkiest little crooked grin, and we think it makes him even more irresistible. He has one of those faces that makes you smile just because he`s smiling at you. Bandit is a very sweet and friendly little guy. He may be a little nervous when meeting new people, but give him a little time and his happy personality starts to shine. Once he`s comfortable, he`s ready to enjoy the good lifeBandit is also quite the little gentleman on his walks. He doesn`t exactly power-walk his way around the neighborhood. Instead, he does this adorable little trotting routine, stopping along the way to investigate every interesting smell. And we mean EVERY smell.With his low-to-medium energy level, Bandit is a pretty easygoing little companion. He`s not looking for a family that wants to run marathons with him. He`s looking for someone who appreciates the finer things in life, like leisurely strolls, good naps, cozy beds, and having a family to love.Because we don`t know Bandit`s history, his compatibility with cats and children is unknown. He has shown great potential with other dogs at the shelter, so a canine companion could potentially be in his future. As always, a meet-and-greet with any resident dog will be required to make sure everyone is a great match.Bandit is available through our Foster-to-Adopt Program, which means he can live in your home while he completes his veterinary care with our shelter vet. His vetting will include neutering, vaccines, microchipping, and heartworm testing. If you`re ready to add this charming little guy to your family, please email dogadoptions@parmashelter.org and complete an online dog adoption application to meet him. Bandit`s adoption fee is $85.Bandit may have started out as a stray, but he`s ready to put that chapter behind him. All this sweet boy needs is a family who will appreciate his quirky smile, his adorable little trot, his love of sniffing everything in sight, and his talent for being ridiculously cute.
