Story

Bandit is such a sweet guy. He just turned 7 in November 2025. He has let us know he does not like fast movement and little kids. We have three kids and he bite our youngest. He prefers quiet spaces, long naps and would love to sleep in your bed with you or have his dog bed nearby. He was attacked by a coyote when he was less than a year old. Lucky to survive and it left him with a preference for no light unexpected touch on his back ribs. He had an eye infection from birth and the eye meds did not support his comfort so he is now happily the one eyed bandit. He is so sweet and loving. He just needs the right home not a loud busy one with a lot of unexpected movement.

Story

Born approximately 3/20/2017 Hes been with us since late May 2017 Attended daycare as a pup where he was bullied and bitten. Likes: Sticks, chew toys, off-leash walks in the woods, sleeping in beds, guarding his territory, car rides, treats, swimming Does not like: his feet touched, his mouth touched, baths, THE VET We did our best to train him but he still needs help with that. I am only able to walk him on leash with a Hermspringer prong collar. He goes with a dog walker 1-2 times a week. He has always lived with cats and free roam bunnies. Due to recent personal health issues, I can not provide him the care and attention he deserves. I am open to answering any questions you may have. Megan 978-879-7518
