Bandit's Story

Pretty pittie Bandit is 5 years old. He is a brindle coated Pit mix. He is powerful, even though he does not weigh that much. He is shy and reactive to new people, but he makes friends pretty quickly. He wants to be somebody's baby badly. He is very loyal and protective of staff, and if he became your dog, he would be the same way. Bandit will be fine with older kids, say 10 and up, but under that age not recommended. He does not like cats, and, at least while here, likes very few other dogs. So his ideal home would be one with adults only - no other animals, or adults and older kids, with no other animals. Bandit, as a pit bull terrier, exhibits all the qualities of a terrier...protective, independent, and smart. Terriers were bred to work alone, and he is perfectly happy being the only dog. He is neutered, up to date on vaccines and microchipped.

Animal Preservation of East Texas (APET)'s Adoption Policy

We have potential adopters apply for the animal they are wishing to adopt. We try to have an indepth conversation about what kind of pet they are seeking, which ones would be the best fit for them, and do they have the necessary home environment for the animal they wish to adopt. If we feel they meet the criteria for the home, we then ask to be allowed to contact their vet to make sure any other animals on the home are spayed/nuetered and up to date on vaccines. If we have any doubts at all, we schedule a home visit. We go out to the adopter's home and check their fence, their home, and any other animals they own. All of their own animals must be spayed and neutered and up to date on vaccines or they are not allowed to adopt any of ours. If everything passes inspection, they adoption is allowed to proceed and they return to the shelter to pick up the animal. Most times however, just having a conversation is sufficient. We make a copy of their ID, we have them fill out the application, we go over the most important parts of the application that we feel they need to pay attention to, and we allow the adoption to proceed.
