About

Please meet Bandit, a very sweet-natured and affectionate Husky/Staffordshire Bull Terrier youngster born on 15 October 2021.

He weighs 20kg.

Bandit is an alert and very expressive dog.

Happiness and enthusiasm just seem to radiate from his handsome face.

Affectionate, playful and very gentle, he loves all humans and is good with children.

Until recently, he was living with a family with lots of children, including a toddler.

He’s never met a dog he doesn’t love, but is untested with cats.

True to his breed mix, Bandit is very clever and is currently learning to walk properly on a lead.

Being the sort of boy who’s keen to please his humans, he’ll soon have his basic commands down pat, too.

He loves car rides, swimming in the dam, and playing with his doggie mates in the backyard.

He’s not a noisy dog and only barks if a stranger comes onto his territory.

He’s shown no inclination to jump fences, but we regard secure fencing as essential.

He’s accustomed to living outside most of the time, but doubtless would love the opportunity to become an inside-outside dog.

Bandit would make a loyal and loving family dog and will do best in a home where he’s regarded as an integral member of the family.

Preference will be given to a home where someone is around most of the time and where there is at least one other compatible dog for him to play with.

Bandit is definitely not suited to a solitary life in the backyard.

His adoption fee is $495 and he is desexed, vaccinated and microchipped.

If you are interested in meeting Bandit, please complete the online application form at southerndownsark.com.au/apply-to-adopt/ and ensure that you include photos of your yard and fencing.

He lives in Warwick, Queensland and is available for interstate adoption.

A virtual meet and greet may be offered to approved applicants.
