About This Dog

Bandit's ideal home

Bandit is an eleven-year-old Pomeranian cross Shih Tzu LOOKING FOR A LOVING HOME TOGETHER WITH PEPPER. Bandit and Pepper could share their home with children aged eleven plus. They are looking to be the only dogs in the home and a home without small furries, cats, or livestock. They need to keep practicing their housetraining and are happy to travel in the car. They could cope with a reasonably busy home environment and are likely to by shy of new visitors. They will need a home with a garden. They are living off-site in a foster home and here’s what their foster carers says, “A pair of gems! Not only do they look adorable, but they also have hearts of gold. They are completely tuned in to their significant person/people. They attach quickly. They soon know your routine. Your down time is their snooze time.”

Could you be Bandit's perfect match?

Bandit and Pepper are a well bonded pair. Bandit is the more confident one of the pair. He wears his heart on his sleave and just wants you to love him and tell him that he is ‘a good boy!’ Bandit, followed by Pepper, is in his element when he is having a fuss and a snuggle on your lap. They love to be close to you. Bandit enjoys a fuss under his chin and behind his ears. Bandit has more dynamic energy and will enjoy a play with his human. Bandit and Pepper are not interested in toys; they love to play rough and tumble with each other. They both have excellent recall. Out and about they are gaining confidence, they are robust walking in all Devon weathers, and they prefer shorter walks rather than long hikes. They don’t want a lot from other dogs. They enjoy treats and they know a stay and wait. “They are a very easy pair of small dogs to have around. They provide endless entertainment, so cute to look at, have such sweet expressions, and make the most adorable sleeping cosy noises.” (Their foster carer.)
