DOG OF THE WEEK - Help Bandit find his Forever Home

16 week old Labrador Retriever/Pointer mix needs a home, will it be yours?

Bandit and his siblings were found as puppies. Someone just dumped them off at the local dump in Southern Georgia. Luckily, they all survived and were taken in by a local Reverend. Bandit and his siblings have been transported up to New Jersey by Home For Good, where they are safe and up for adoption. They are about 16 weeks. Bandit will be a large dog when fully grown.

Bandit is very playful and gets along with other dogs and cats really well. He loves kids too. Bandit is very smart. He walks nicely on a leash and has learned the command "sit". Bandit is now working on "paw”. His foster mom says that he is the best! He has discovered that empty water bottles make a lot of noise and are the best toys ever. If you are looking for a cute, sweet, loyal companion, Bandit is your guy.

For more information on Bandit or any of the other dogs available through Home for Good Dog Rescue visit the Home for Good website, call (908) 598-8212 or email contacthfg@gmail.com.
