Story
Meet Brandon
AKA: The Frito Bandito (yes, the legend is real)
Vibe Check: Distinguished senior gentleman. Low drama. High cuddle potential.
Fun Fact: Brandon is a professional couch potato—but please install guardrails. His depth perception is more abstract art than science.
Rescue: Albert’s Dog Lounge
Age: Senior (aged like a fine wine)
Weight: 11 lbs of pure elegance
Health Notes:
Brandon has dry eye and needs Optimmune (about $54/tube). The good news? He accepts his eye ointment like a polite little sir—no protests, no theatrics. His vision isn’t great, and he may be hard of hearing… or he may simply be choosing peace and ignoring you. Jury’s out.
Backstory:
Brandon had a loving owner who sadly passed away. After that, a neighbor kept him in a barn and fed him once a day for who-knows-how-long. Despite this, Brandon remains sweet, trusting, and ready to live his best indoor life.
Foster Home: New Glarus, WI
Activity Level: Low… except for his daily scheduled Zoomies™️
Social Skills:
Dogs (if they roughhouse too close to him, he might get up and move though)
Cats
Older, respectful kids
Loves the ladies, but REALLY loves men. Full-butt-wag enthusiasm. No judgment—we all have a type.
Sleep Style:
Strictly dog beds only. No furniture hopping. No risky jumps. Bandit trusts vibes, not vision.
Dining Preferences:
Stella & Chewy’s raw kibble topped with meat, twice daily. Mindful eater. No food theft. Stays in his lane.
Bark-O-Meter: 0/10
Brandon believes barking is for uncultured swine.
Shedding Meter: 0/10 (but yes, he’ll need regular grooming—great hair requires maintenance)
Fashion:
A tux with tails, red bowtie, and cummerbund. Ready for Valentine’s Day or a formal gala.
Signature Color: Crimson—because it pops against his inky black fur.
Walk-Out Song: “Renaissance” by Eminem
Favorite Season: Sunbathing while listening to birds and feeling the breeze
Best Feature: Silky-soft fur
Signature Move: Locate soft bed → immediate nap
Love Language:
Car rides on a cozy blanket, hanging by your desk on a plush dog bed, or chewing a marrow bone while you watch TV. If allowed, he would chew marrow bones 24/7 without regret.
The Final Word:
Brandon is pretty much perfect. He’s happy, cuddly, and leans hard into chin scritchies—his absolute favorite thing in the world. He thrives on routine, sleeps through the night, and is an overnight pee-pad pro on the rare occasion he needs one.
Basically?
Brandon is ready to retire into your heart.
