A Note from the Foster: Meet Bandito – A Little Survivor with a Huge Heart ❤️
Bandito may be small, but his story — and his heart — are mighty. This sweet Chihuahua mix came from a hoarding situation in Texas and even survived a house fire. Through it all, he has remained gentle, loving, and incredibly resilient. Now safely in Minnesota, he’s settling in beautifully and is ready to find the forever home he truly deserves.
If you’re looking for a professional snuggler, Bandito is your guy. Cuddling is his absolute favorite pastime. Whether it’s a cozy night by the fire or burrowing under the covers right by your side, he’s happiest when he’s close to his people. And don’t even get us started on his kisses — they’re legendary!
Bandito gets along well with dogs of all sizes and does great with cats, too. He tends to be an observer at first, taking in the world around him, but he also enjoys being part of the action once he feels comfortable. He’s the perfect mix of calm companion and quiet participant in daily life.
After everything he’s been through, Bandito is more than ready for a safe, loving home where he can relax, snuggle, and simply be someone’s cherished best friend. If you’re ready to give a brave little survivor the warm, cozy life he deserves, Bandito is waiting to meet you. 🐾
Adoption Fee: $560 + tax
Adoption Status: Is this dog available? Submitting an application is the best first step to learning if a dog is still available. There is a chance this dog could have a pending adoption when your application is submitted, however our team will offer approved applicants to be put on a waiting list for that dog. Additionally, we can make recommendations on other dogs that may be a match. Pending adoptions do not mean the adoption is finalized. Why did we implement this change? We implemented this update because, unfortunately, dogs were pending for applicants for several weeks and then the applicant would change their mind. This happens more often with puppies, as applications are submitted impulsivly more often for them. Our process is great because it takes a little time, so impulsive decisions fade. However it was unfortunate for the dogs, and the foster homes, as then the process needed to be re-started. By securing a wait-list we are able to move forward more quickly if a pending adoption falls through. This is a new process for us, so your feedback along the way is helpful! Thank you for supporting rescue and adoption!
