Meet Bandit! Bandit’s story started with PJ’s Rescue as a puppy and sometimes life takes unexpected turns so this handsome boy is back with us and spending time at Black Onyx Dog Training while he searches for the right match. Bandit is almost 1 year old and according to a DNA test from one of his littermates, is a unique mix of Pitty, Staffy, Golden Retriever, German Shepherd, and 10 other breeds. He is a smart, active, and incredibly loyal companion who thrives when given guidance and direction. Bandit can be shy and insecure when meeting new people. He takes a little time to warm up, but once you’ve earned his trust, you’ll see a sweet and devoted side of him. While in training, we’ve been focusing on building his confidence and helping him navigate the world more comfortably. Bandit can also come on a bit strong/high energy when meeting other dogs. However, with proper introductions and respectful boundaries, he has shown that he can do well with canine friends. He simply benefits from taking things slow rather than being thrown into social situations. His ideal home would be one without children, or with dog-savvy children over the age of 10 who can respectfully interact with and understand his boundaries. Bandit is not looking for a life of endless free-roaming and lounging on the couch. He enjoys having a job to do and truly shines when provided with structure, consistency, and clear expectations. The more clarity he has, the more confident and successful he becomes. He is the type of dog who wants a partner, not just a place to live. To help set both Bandit and his future family up for success, his adopter will receive his training tools along with a training lesson to ensure everyone starts off on the right foot. Adoption fee includes: veterinary exam, DHPP up to date at time of adoption, microchip, spay/neuter and deworming.
