I've found my furever family!

Meet Bandit: professional friend-maker & certified happy boy!

Named after Bluey’s dad, this Blue Heeler landed at a shelter after a kid brought him home without getting the parents’ approval.  But Bandit hasn’t let that dampen his spirits—this boy has NEVER met a stranger! Everyone is a friend, every dog is a potential playmate, and life is pretty much the best thing ever. 

Bandit loves dogs and kids of all ages, walks well on a leash, is crate trained, learning commands, and working hard on potty training. He’s also met cats and was basically like, “Oh, cool" but could care less. 

He seems to have broken his tail before coming to ARPO, but the vet has checked it out and confirmed it's healed, doesn't bother him at all, and just gives his tail wags a little extra character. 

He’s up to date on age-appropriate vaccines and ready to find the family that says, “Yep, you can keep him.”
