Description:

Meet Bandito! He is a very loving old boy and wants nothing more than to be at your feet napping and to be loved in return. He lost his home due to no fault of his own. He LOVES going for car rides! He also loves hanging with his foster brothers and sisters.

Bandito does not handle separation well and will need someone who is home a lot in order to fufill his needs. He also has to have a large breed female dog, who is ok being left home alone loose in the house in order for him to feel relaxed and not become anxious and possibly destructive. As long as he has canine company he does alright. His foster mom has attempted to teach him to stay in a dog crate when alone but he becomes frantic and destroys the crate to escape. His separation anxiety started when his lifelong dog companion passed away. Up until that point, he had always been left loose in the house with his friend when home alone and did just fine.

Bandito has what is called Iris Atrophy. He saw a very good canine eye specialist who diagnosed this disease. He told us that it would not cause him any issues with his eyesight and did not require any medical care as there is no repair for this disease. This disease causes the pupils not to dilate or constrict properly because of tears of the tiny muscles that control this action. The only consideration needed is Bandito will need a pair of canine sunglass goggles to keep him comfortable when he is outside in bright light, especially wintertime. His foster mom is training him to accept these now.

*The pet you are viewing is a rescued pet which is most often from an animal control facility and does not come with a pedigree. The breed(s) listed are our best guess and are in no way guaranteed. Sometimes the pets appear to be a particular breed(s) in the pictures we receive from our rescue partners and when they arrive we are surprised to see an entirely different breed(s) in person! If you choose to DNA test your adopted pet, test results may vary from company to company and our breed guess may not be reflected in those results as it is just that, our best guess. It is with deep longing that we wish there was a breed called "cute" as we believe all of our dogs would fall under this new breed classification!

Completion of an Adoption Application via our website www.midwestanimalrescue.org is the best way to show your interest in an animal and is the first step in our adoption process.

*Animals who are not fully vaccinated and altered are not eligible for long distance adoption.

When you adopt a pet from Midwest Animal Rescue and Services, your adoption fee covers: Microchip and registration, Core Vaccines including Rabies, Distemper and bordetella, age appropriate heartworm testing or FeLV-FIV testing, sterilization, heartworm/flea-tick prevention and deworming while in foster care.

Adoption fees are non-negotiable and can be paid by cashier's check, money order or credit card. We do not accept personal checks.

Any issues that arise after adoption are the full responsibility of the adopter after the finalization of adoption. Adoption fees are only part of the expense of owning a pet, so we ask you to consider the costs for the life of the pet before adoption. We recommend pet insurance.
