Bandit is a sweet senior who wants nothing more than your love. He is the perfect combination of sweet and shy that makes your heart melt. While his pictures make him look big, he is actually a pocket-sized Rottweiler mix at about 55 pounds. He loves his trusted humans unconditionally and wants to shadow you whenever he can. Bandit is guaranteed to add lots of love, kisses, and cuddles to your life. Where there is warmth, you will find Bandit; warmth from the sun, from a heater, from a fur friend, or from a human. He sometimes thinks he's a lap dog and will plop himself on your lap for a nap, taking comfort in being with his human. He loves to play with his foster sister and sometimes looks quite goofy, which just adds to his charming personality. Bandit has lived with small dogs, dogs his size, adult men, and adult women and has done well with all. He does take a moment to warm up to new people, sounds, and places.
Ideal Home
Bandit should be adopted by an experienced dog handler due to some health issues that can sometimes impact his behavior.
Ongoing Health
Bandit has hip dysplasia, hyperthyroidism, arthritis, and early-stage kidney disease. He is currently on Thyro-Tabs, joint supplements, and anti-anxiety medication. While 99% of the time Bandit is an absolute sweetheart, if any of his medication is off, if he overdoes his physical exercise, or if he is feeling anxious, he may growl or snap. The cost of all his medication is less than $100 per month.
Training & Support
Bandit is crate-trained, fully house-trained, and walks well on a leash. He is highly treat-motivated and is learning in foster care to do things like sit, lay down, stay, be a gentleman, and wait. All dogs at Better World Rescue qualify for complimentary private and/or group training to ensure a successful adoption.
