Sweet scruffy mutt looking for a home.
Description
I've been fostering Bandit here in Vancouver since his owner died.
He is 3.5 years old, neutered, weighs about 35 lbs and is up to date with his shots. He is fully housetrained and can be left alone without any trouble. He is low to medium energy, requiring at least one 20 minute walk in the morning, a 45 outing during the day and one 15-20 walk at night.
My partner and I both have jobs that require clients to come to our home and Bandit is always such a wonderful greeter. He's not in your face, he reads the room and either stays to socialize or goes back to napping.
Bandit is a great road-trip dog. Happy to stop at breweries and cafes or go on a hike or a canoe paddle.
He's such an easy dog to have around and generates so much joy! He loves to snuggle and cuddle but he's not needy for it.
When given the option to hang out in the yard or in the living-room, he chooses to be inside. Perhaps this is because he spent the first few years of his life outdoors. This means he'd be great in an apartment or house. Plus he's not a barker.
We think that Bandit was taken from his mamma too early because he self-soothes by suckling on a blanket. Also, when he goes in to say "HI" to another dog he moves in too quickly which often means he wasn't taught to give space. His new owner will have to help him learn these manners.
Bandit can be reactive with some male dogs. We think it's non-neutered small dogs that trigger him. For this reason, it is extremely important to monitor the environment and avoid interactions with smaller dogs until tested. We have dog-sat several small dogs since fostering Bandit and he's been good with all of them however they were all females.
If you are looking for a beer buddy, a road-trip pal, a bundle of joy to get you outside for walk or a companion to be by your side while you work, Bandit is the one!
