02/26/2016 PET PROFILE MEMO
02/26/16 19:20 Basic Information: Bandit is a 3 year old neutered male Pit Bull. His previous owner had him for 2 months and got him from a friend who owned him prior. He was surrendered because his previous owner is moving out of the country. He has not been to the vet and has no known injuries or health problems. Socialization: Around strangers Bandit is friendly and outgoing and when he plays he is exuberant. Around children ages 5-9 years he is also friendly and outgoing and exuberant when he plays. Around other dogs he is relaxed and affectionate and gentle when he plays. Around cats he is respectful. Behavior: Bandit has never bitten a person or animal. He isn’t bothered by storms or fireworks. If his food bowl is touched while eating Bandit walks away or continues to eat with a relaxed body. He is friendly if a treat or toy is taken from him. He was not allowed on furniture. He is friendly when given a bath, if his coat is brushed, if an unfamiliar person approached his home or previous owner. He isn’t bothered if he is disturbed while sleeping. For a New Family to Know: Bandit is described as friendly, affectionate, playful, confident, and excitable and he has a high activity level. The two things his previous owner liked most about him were; he’s friendly and protective. When his previous owner was home he would follow him around. He liked to play with balls and chew toys. His favorite games were fetch and tug. He was kept indoors only and at night he slept in his crate with opened door. He ate both wet and dry dog food. He is house-trained and never had accidents indoors. He was well behaved when left alone indoor and in the yard. He is crate trained. He knows how to sit on command. For exercise he went on slow walks 3 times a day and didn’t pull on leash. When off leash he would stay by previous owner’s side. Behavior during intake: Bandit allowed me to take pictures and he walked nicely on the leash. His body was relaxed and he had a wagging tail. When I tried to pet him he would move his head away and curl his lip but he seemed more fearful than aggressive.

03/01/2016 WEB MEMO
A volunteer writes: Say hello to 114 pounds of pure LOVE! A big ol’ meatball with the softest nature and a million dollar smile, Bandit is out to steal ALL the hearts. He’s wonderfully friendly with people but if you really want to see his social prowess in action, playgroup is the place to be. Marvel at his gentle patience and low-key energy levels, laugh at his goofy trotting after the ladies and wonder just how anyone could let such a sweetheart go. Despite his hefty size and elbow callouses Bandit is actually only three years old, and like any youngster he loves to get out and explore; trotting happily down the street and taking care of all his business promptly, saluting passing dogs with a wagging tail and just luxuriating in the pleasure of a sunny day in the park. He’s a pretty good listener and will come and sit on command, but my treat rewards hold no interest (not even hot dog!) and I suspect Bandit has been on a diet of ‘people food’ for quite some time. Just imagine what an active lifestyle and TLC will do for this already gorgeous guy, he’s going to be a head-turner for sure. Of all the wonderful reasons to love Bandit, cuddle time is definitely in my top three. He adores being the center of attention and nothing beats seeing the look of absolute bliss on his face as he enjoys a good full-body rubdown–when Bandit smiles, the whole world smiles with him! Already neutered and ready to leave today, Bandit would make a wonderful pet for almost any family, and he so deserves the chance to live a long, healthy and snuggle-filled life. Check him out at our Manhattan Care Center and I think you’ll agree, Bandit might just be the Friendliest Dog Ever!
