Bandit

Where are our heeler loving folks??? This sweet boy is Bandit and he is a heeler through and through.<br/><br/>Bandit was trapped as a stray and never claimed by an owner. He is estimated to be about 9 months old and he is full of energy! <br/><br/>Bandit can - and will if given the chance - play fetch from sun up to sun down. He gets along with other dogs but he can be a ball hog and would need a doggy friend who understands that. Bandit can also be an attention hog, especially with whichever person he claims as his main.<br/><br/>Bandit smiles when he is happy and it is the cutest thing! Bandit has a lot to say about a lot of things and he will bark to let you know what his opinion is in the matter at hand! So he is best suited for a home out in the country - which is where every heeler dreams to live anyway! Bandit has tried to gently herd the kids in his foster home and he could probably be trained to be a proper farm heeler. Bandit is not aggressive and has not exhibited food guarding. He still struggles with going to his kennel - he knows that there are more adventures waiting out there and more balls to catch and he does not want to get crated. Because Bandit does not love the crate his fosters have not been crating him at night. He has done very well sleeping in his bed without any accidents. Bandit is fully house trained but he will occasionally piddle when when he gets nervous. Bandit has been very good about not chewing anything in the house that does not belong to him. He only chews his balls and his toys when nobody is available to - you guessed it - play fetch!<br/><br/>Bandit barks when a stranger first enters the house but he warms up very quickly (same with new dogs). He walks on the leash well but it takes him a bit to adjust to your speed. He would make a great running buddy. Bandit has not been cat tested.<br/><br/>If you are looking for an active playful buddy and if you are familiar with the needs (and rewards) of heelers, apply to meet Bandit at ricopetrecovery.org. The adoption fee for Bandit is $350 and includes all the vaccines he has received, the neuter surgery and a microchip.
