ADOPT A PET

Banjo is a fun, loving, happy heeler mix who absolutely adores being around people. He’s the kind of pup who brings instant joy wherever he goes, and he warms up quickly to new surroundings and new friends.

Banjo loves to run, play, and romp around with other dogs and enjoys joining in on the fun with his humans too. He has a playful, social personality and would thrive in an active home where he can get plenty of exercise and attention.

Because Banjo is a heeler mix, he does have some typical herding-dog instincts and may occasionally nip at ankles or feet when he’s excited or trying to play. He is learning to manage his excitement and is already working on polite greetings (he especially loves to jump up to say hello!). With consistency, training, and redirection, Banjo will continue to improve he’s a smart boy who wants to learn. Zoom Room training is included in Banjo's adoption to set him (and you!) up for success. Apply today!
