Bandit Australian Cattle Dog / Blue Heeler Manassas, VA

Meet Bandit! He's a 2.5yr old, 50lb blue heeler/cattle dog. He's a typical heeler, a velcro dog and loves to be with his humans, whether lounging inside or hanging outside. He loves helping his foster mom with barn chores and errands. He enjoys going for car rides and loves camping trips! He travels well and rides quietly in the car both alone and with his foster brothers.

He likes treats, toys and playing fetch and also knows how to sit, lay and shake. He's shown no signs of food agression and is gentle with treats. Bandit gets along with other dogs he's met so far (he has two foster brothers!). He's cat friendly with his inside feline companions, but can get too excited if they run and may chase outside cats.

He does well on a leash, is both crate trained and housetrained. He's extremely affectionate once you're in his circle of trust, but is very leery and cautious of new people and does not do well interacting with strangers. He currently would not be a good fit with a busy household (with lots of new guests or with kids). He will ideally need a local adopter who's willing to spend a few visits getting to know him and earning his trust and willing to continue his training on his interactions and reactiveness with strangers.

Bandit is heartworm negative, neutered, microchipped and is up to date on vaccinations and preventatives. This special boy is easy to love and will make someone a great companion and best friend!

Bandit is located in Conway, SC. For questions, please contact mgilbert1110@gmail.com.
