BANDIT

1 1/2 Year Old

(Photo taken at the Luthern Hospital Pet a Pet Event)



Bandit is a Walker Hound mix puppy

He entered rescue with C.O.D.A. on 5/14/05

Bandit was found wandering stray without a collar or dog license or identification
tags by our Director's Husband

Bandit was out in the middle of the street and was almost hit by a van when
our Director's husband

jumped out of the CODA van to save Bandit

Bandit still has his puppy teeth so cannot be more than five months old at
most

Bandit has a very loving and playful personality

Bandit currently weighs 38 pounds

Bandit is brown and black in coloring

Bandit is neutered

Bandit is now up to date on all his vaccinations





CODA notified all our local shelters about finding Bandit and also posted
a found ad on petfinder.com

among other online FOUND PETS forums and after a week no one has contacted
us regarding Bandit so CODA will be screening potential new homes for Bandit
until we find him a perfect home where he will never be allowed

to roam stray without identification ever again.

This poor baby could have easily been killed if not for getting lucky enough
to have our Director's husband jump out in traffic to save him.

Bandit was extremely underweight when he was found running stray

Bandit must have been foraging for food scraps for a while as Bandit was pooping
aluminum foil for days after arriving at CODA Rescue.

Bandit will wait until he's taken out of his crate and outside to potty he
has kept his crate spotless since arriving.

Bandit is having a great time playing with our other rescue dogs and Nina
has taken a liking to Bandit and they play nicely together and enjoy each
other's company.



Bandit has learned the command 'sit' already and walks nicely on
a leash

Bandit is slightly 'pidgeon pawed' on his front paws but is a healthy,
happy, normal puppy who can see and hear just fine

Bandit loves to play with dog toys and loves treats and is eating well and
putting on weight nicely

UPDATE 5/27/05

Bandit was neutered yesterday and is recovering fine

Bandit is totally housebroken and has NEVER had an accident in the house or
his crate

Bandit is crate trained and will go into his crate when he's told, 'crate
up'

Bandit has learned 'sit' very consistently

Bandit knows quite a few verbal commands such as 'no', 'come
here', 'lay down', 'settle down', 'get down'

Bandit walks like a little gentleman on a leash

UPDATE 5/17/06

Bandit has been waiting for his forever home for a year now.

Bandit is 100% housebroken and gets along fine with other active, playful
dogs

Bandit loves to go for rides and walks

Bandit's favorite games are ' tug of war' and ' fetch with
a ball'

Bandit is a very lovable, active, energetic dog but does settle down nicely
when crated

Bandit would love a home with a big yard to play in and older children to
play with

Bandit knows ' sit' and 'give me paw' and ' come
here' and ' down' among other basic commands
