URGENT Courtesy Post: Owner Surrender/Rehoming- Acworth, GA Meet Bandit! He is an 4 year old Australian Shepherd and weighs 50 lbs.

Hello, this is chuy :)) he is 4 years old and a very nice dog. I am very sad to let him go. Unfortunately, I am moving and they don’t allow pets. Chuy loves to take walks and play fetch. He is more of an outside dog. He loves toys and especially the lamb that you can purchase at Marshall’s or even 5 below. Honestly he is so loving and caring. He can also be just a little bit lazy 😂
