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.
