Bandit - Australian Cattle Dog Blue Heeler and Shepherd Dog Available for Adoption in Lafayette, Colorado

Bandit is the life of the party and brings nonstop fun wherever he goes. He's incredibly playful and always ready to wrestle, chase, or turn anything into a game. If there are puppies awake and playing, you can safely assume Bandit is right in the middle of it.

He enjoys engaging with his people just as much as he does with other dogs, though for Bandit, that usually means playtime over cuddle time. He's the kind of puppy who wants to be doing something, exploring, or finding his next playmate.

Because of his energy level, Bandit would thrive in a home with another playful dog who can keep up with him. If you've ever said, “my dog needs a dog,” Bandit might be your perfect match.

Bandit and his siblings overcame parvo early on and have bounced back into happy, resilient puppies ready for their next chapter.

He loves other dogs, has been around a patient cat (and is learning not to chase), and is great with kids. He's smart, treat motivated, and while not potty trained yet, he's already doing well with potty pads.

He is neutered, microchipped, up to date on vaccinations, and being fostered in North Denver.
