Bandit

My story

Hello! My name is Bandit, and I am about 1 years old give or take. Due to my distinctive mask-like markings, I often joke that I could have been Batman’s dog at one point. Allow me to share a bit about myself. I am a mixed breed, combining Rottweiler and Pitbull traits, sometimes referred to as a Pit wilier. This means that I possess a high energy level and have a strong affinity for play, loyalty and running! I am fully potty trained and sleep comfortably in my kennel. If you notice me barking persistently, it likely means I need to go outside. I am still learning to communicate my needs more effectively. I particularly enjoy having my ears and belly rubbed, as those are my favorite spots. I am incredibly loyal and love to cuddle while watching a good movie. I am currently in a phase where I explore with my mouth, which is typical behavior for a young puppy. If you have an abundance of chew toys available, I would appreciate being guided towards those instead, as I may occasionally need redirection. I am in foster care in Solon, Ohio, living with three other dogs, with whom I get along very well. I have noticed that I can sometimes experience some conflict when meeting dogs outside of my current pack, which I believe is often just a misunderstanding. During my time here, I have successfully learned several commands, including sit, stay, go to my cage, and speak. I have excellent recall; if you call my name, "Bandit," from a distance, I will come running back to you at full speed, especially if there is a treat involved! I am eager to learn new commands and tricks, and I respond well to food and rewards. I weigh approximately 45 pounds and do not anticipate growing much larger, which I attribute to my father's genetics. I tend to get along well with children aged 10 and up; however, my high energy may be overwhelming for younger children. With proper guidance and discipline, I believe I would make a fantastic addition to your family. I look forward to the opportunity to meet you and hopefully find my forever home.
