Bandino
Hello, my name is Bandino. My animal id is #18333. I am a desexed male black dog at the Brooklyn Animal Care Center. The shelter thinks I am about 6 years 1 weeks old.
I came into the shelter as a stray on 14-Jan-2018.
Bandino is at risk due to being diagnosed with Canine Infectious Respiratory Disease Complex which is contagious to other dogs. Bandino will likely require in home care with a course of antibiotics. Bandino is suitable for most dog homes with an average behavior determination.
Let’s get to know each other a bit more…
A volunteer writes: Sweet, sometimes-shy Bandino is the kind of dog who can easily be looked over– he’s black (the color dog least likely to be adopted), very quiet, and mostly just relaxes in his cage instead of jumping up for attention. But after a tiny bit of coaxing, this gentle boy will warm up quickly and trust me, he’s worth the wait! On our walk today, we ran into a couple of his favorite ACC staff, and he couldn’t contain his waggy tail and happy twirls. He seems to be housetrained and pulls a bit on the leash, but mostly just to get outside– once he’s out, he’s a happy boy. After our walk, I came by his cage just 10 minutes later, and he was already wagging his tail at seeing me. Could you become one of Bandino’s favorite people? Come and meet him today at the Brooklyn ACC!
