Bandit - Chihuahua and Yorkshire Terrier Dog for Adoption in West Peoria, Illinois

This zesty and zippy pup is looking for his forever lap. Bandit is a Chihuahua/Yorkie mix that is 10 pounds. He spent most of his time in a kennel in his previous home. So, Bandit is looking for a pet parent that is home most of the time and willing to further his training. He is potty trained once he knows where outside is and you learn his schedule. Fortunately, Bandit is only 2 years old and still very eager to please. He will pick up your routine and training quickly. He does know some basic commands and walks well on a leash. Bandit only knew his previous home, so he will need more socialization since he can be a bit shy at first. It only took a night for him to warm up in his foster home though. Now he fits right in with his 5 doggy friends and could care less about the 2 cats. Bandit is fine with kids but would prefer a calm home where he's the main focus. Please apply at gfrpets.org to see if this mini might is right for you.

Bandit's adoption fee of $300 covers his neuter, microchip with registration, vaccines, negative heartworm test, and flea & heartworm prevention.
