You might recall that a couple of weeks ago I posted about the awesomely adoptable 3-legged Gerbil. Well, Gerbil is now living with her forever family! I’m so happy. She’s a great dog.
Kim Sporrer, Director of Communications for the Human Society of Boulder Valley (HSBV), and I were so excited that we’ve decided to embark on a new project beginning today. Once a week, on Tuesday or Wednesday, I will publish an “Adopt this Awesomely Adoptable Dog” post about a very special dog at the HSBV in need of a loving home.
If you are interested in Bandit please call 303-442-4030 ext.697.
This week’s awesomely adoptable dog is Bandit! You gotta love the tongue! Check him out in all his sweet glory here and in the video below.
Bandit is a 7 year old purebred English Setter. He’s neutered and up-to-date on all his shots.
The last time Bandit was relinquished to BVHS in February 2009 (He’s a bit of an escape artist and has been taken to BVHS as a stray 3 times before.), Bandit caught the attention of a longtime HSBV S.T.A.R. (Specially Trained Adoptable Rover) volunteer. She adopted him a month after working with him through the STAR program in the shelter.
Sadly, Bandit lost his ‘loving STAR’ who had given him a wonderful home when she most unfortunately passed away this summer from cancer. Bandit is now living with the woman’s daughter who is fostering him until he finds his forever home. “Of course many of us have a special attachment to this dog, and we’re looking for someone very special to adopt Bandit and give him the kind of home he deserves and had with our volunteer,” Kim told me.
Bandit is a very sweet boy, who loves to be with his people. He loves going for walks, gets along well with other dogs, and is up for a belly rub any time. Bandit is most at home when he is home with his people, and is happy to just lounge around, lay outside, and will entertain himself with a fuzzy squeaky toy. Bandit also loves to watch birds and squirrels, but will happily come when called. Bandit does have separation anxiety, especially if left alone or in a confined space for long periods of time, so his best fit would be with a guardian who is not gone for extended periods of time. Bandit is also a little overweight due to mild hypothyroidism, which is managed well with medication. Bandit is a real love, is loyal and attentive, and would make a wonderful companion.
Enough already from me. See for yourself! And, PLEASE contact Humane Society of Boulder Valley if you are interested in helping Bandit find a home. Just call 303-442-4030 ext.697 or visit his page at HSBV.
Just one more thing, even if you can’t adopt him, you can help support Bandit until he finds his forever family. Just go to Bandit’s page. On the right side of the page you’ll see “If you can’t adopt me, sponsor me!” I did!
