Meet little Bandit. He JUST arrived recently at Pet Project and is settling in. He’s a cute 2 year old Am staff terrier/bully mix about 40 lbs. Bandit was found as a stray by some Good Samaritans. No owner came forward so we had him all checked out, neutered and vaccinated so we can find this sweetie his forever home. He is understandably confused, but warms up quickly and he loves treats! We will post more info as he settles in. Please help us find this boy a happy home.
