My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Say Hello to Bandit! This handsome young dog was brought to CARE after he was attacked by a much larger dog. Bandit sustained significant wounds in the process, including an abdominal hernia (the muscle that normally holds the intestines in the abdomen was damaged, so his intestines were just under the skin). During the initial examination, it was also determined that Bandit was heartworm positive and would need surgery for cherry eye. Emergency surgery was performed at Northwood Animal Hospital to correct the abdominal hernia and treat his wounds. Thankfully, there was no significant damage to the intestines themselves. Bandit recovered well from the dog fight and received cherry eye surgery at the time of his neuter two weeks later. Today, Bandit is progressing through his heartworm treatment. This means that he requires strict exercise restriction, to decrease the risk of complications of heartworm disease. Although he is available for adoption now, he needs a family dedicated to his care, who will bring him back to Northwood Animal Hospital for his heartworm treatment injections and keep him calm/quiet. Prior to joining the CARE program, Bandit enjoyed living with several other dogs. However, since the attack he has shown some dog aggressive behavior.
