Story
Banjo is a 4-month-old - 6 lb., shihtzu/yorkie mix puppy that has not had an easy life.
His big, sad brown eyes look right through you.
The family that had Banjo didn't even bother to give him a name during the time they had him. Their dogs had an accidental litter, and they rehomed all but Banjo, they wanted to keep him. The longer they had him, the more they realized they could not care for him any longer.
Thankfully, we have helped them in the past and they reached out to us to take him in. We will be getting the mom fixed so she does not have any more puppies.
Banjo is now safe with a foster and is available for adoption.
Banjo is more like an 8-week-old puppy than a 16-week-old puppy. He doesn't know what toys are. The floors inside the house are his own personal slip and slide haha
He has been introduced to kittens, and he fears them. The kittens walked up to him, and he ran away in terror, despite they were smaller than him.
Banjo would do best in a home with another small dog or 2. He is very timid at first and other small dogs around him help build his confidence.
When he is around other dogs, his spunky, happy, fun side comes out, and he is a whole other puppy
He will need grooming throughout his life as he does have long, soft hair.
Based on his parents, we do not think that Banjo will get over 10-11 lbs once full grown.
Please keep in mind when applying for Banjo that he is a tiny puppy who needs lots of love, training, patience, care and comfort to help him become the best he can be.
This sweet, gentle boy will be a wonderful companion for the perfect home!
Banjo is current on age-appropriate vaccinations, current on flea/tick and heart worm prevention, microchipped, current on de-wormer, and will receive a clean bill of health from a licensed veterinarian prior to transport.
