I am full of joy, but sometimes I remember the beatings.

Update: Bandit was adopted on October 9th!

Exuberant and fun-loving, Bandit cherishes running and playing almost as much as he enjoys gentle pats and attention.

He is a very attractive Shepherd & Retriever mix with an easy smile. He is neutered, about 4 years of age, and ready today for adoption into a lifelong home.

Besides being compatible with most other dogs, Bandit is reportedly housetrained and crate-trained.

Bandit needs a hero. The victim of severe past abuse, sudden movements that catch him off guard can cause him alarm and fear.

A very experienced, adult-only home can help him regain trust and security without lapsing back to old anxieties. But there are no instant fixes, so your patience is essential.

A behaviorist or dog trainer can be helpful in setting up stable lifestyle routines Bandit can count on in your home with you.

He enjoys other dogs and adores people who snuggle with him.  Please help us find Bailey a forever home where he will be cherished and showered with affection.
