Bandit Jack Russell Terrier Mix Lenoir, NC

Bandit is a very healthy gentleman. Don't let his age fool you into thinking he's a senior. He's resisting that category and stealing energy from the younger dogs in his foster home :)

With a guesstimated birthday in Aug. 2013, Bandit could use a little trimming down.

Bandit is leash savvy and crate-trained. He loves to be busy and will keep everyone energized :) He's affectionate and hasn't met a stranger. He gets along with most female dogs - although he doesn't particularly care for males. He also doesn't like other dogs near his food, so his foster feeds him in his crate so he can eat in peace.

Although not aggressive, he loves to play chase-the-cat which is unpleasant for most felines. Maybe a home with a lion would help him learn to leave them alone.

Bandit is an affectionate guy and would like to have his own forever family to snuggle with.

Whether dogs / puppies come in as strays or owner surrenders, we usually have to make our best guess as to birthdate and breed.

If adopted into a home with other animals, particularly cats, your new pet should be crated or secured when you're not available to supervise to insure a harmonious relationship.

A vet reference is required to confirm responsible pet ownership. Requirement is a minimum three year vet history documenting current / previous pets are spayed / neutered, kept up to date on core vaccinations, and on heartworm prevention. We suggest first time pet owners without a vet history look for an adult dog for companionship and to gain experience. Other rescues or your local government-run animal control agency may have different adoption requirements.

Adoption fee covers two vaccinations. Additional fees for 3rd puppy vaccination, refundable spay/neuter deposit, etc. may apply.

We are an all-volunteer, foster-based rescue. We receive no funding from agencies.

Not all foster dogs are available for viewing during public events, held most Saturdays at Tractor Supply (360 Blowing Rock Blvd) in Lenoir, NC from 10:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m. We recommend interested parties contact us to pre-qualify for adoption so their new furry family can go home once paperwork is complete. Fees are required in cash. For more information on our organization, our website is www.petpartnersrescue.org.
