Hi, my name is Banff and I would love to meet you. I have been at the shelter since Jan 26, 2024. I`m a young pup with a passion for learning, already mastering commands like sit and come, and working on perfecting stay and down. I absolutely adore playing fetch and hanging out with other furry pals—I even rocked it in playgroups at the shelter! Whenever I go for walks my foster paw-rents giggle about how cute my ears are when they bounce. I can’t help it, they’re just like that! Let`s embark on adventures together—ready for some fun?
