My story

BANDIT (watch my video!) Male, neutered 2 years old Pit bull terrier 60 lbs. Microchipped, up-to-date on core vaccines and takes monthly flea/tick/heartworm prevention &#226&#128&#139 Bandit, formerly Malik at the PG shelter, was found as a stray, underweight and with an upper respiratory infection. He began his first weeks at the shelter in isolation then immediately went on their 3/11 Urgent List due to no space. Fortunately, he passed his food and dog test and was rescued by Lovepaws! He has been eager to please ever since. This sweetheart has both brains and beauty, as he is learning a repertoire of commands, including sit, down, stay, and place. Bandit is food motivated but will drop everything for some scritches. He LOVES snuggles, head and neck rubs, and giving kisses. He has the best sploot and adores the company of his hoomans. He enjoys squeaky toys and working on enrichment puzzles and kongs. Bandit has spurts of energy but is also happy watching tv and snuggling on the couch. He has adorable antics with a full-size basketball that will brighten your day and his curiosity, with full head tilts is just as adorable! Bandit will happily join you on walks and has made great strides with his leash manners. His youthful exuberance is infectious, he lights up in the presence of children, and his loyalty and love are boundless. Don't miss the chance to welcome this unique, loving soul into your life. Stay tuned for more updates as we learn more about Bandit’s strengths with other dogs, with the assistance of a trainer. Interested in adopting? Of course you are!
