My story

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

Are you trying to master this whole being an adult thing? Me too! Hi there, I'm Bandit! I'm a young and friendly guy with a goofy side that'll make you chuckle. I've got energy to spare and love to play. I enjoy tug of war, chase, and being sprayed with the water hose. My favorite thing? Making friends, both the two-legged and four-legged variety. I get along great with adults, older kids, and other dogs! At only 1 year old, I'm gaining knowledge on how to be an adult dog. So far, I've mastered the command "sit" and house-training is going pretty well. I'm still learning the ropes when it comes to leash manners, but I'm getting better every day. I'm just so eager to explore the world around me! I'm a sweet boy with an adventurous and energetic personality, and I'm searching for someone that matches my spark. If that sounds like what you're looking for in a companion, look no further. I'm Bandit, an American Blue Heeler mix, and I'm ready to steal your heart!

More about this shelter

The Humane Society of Southwest Missouri is an independent, 501(c)3 non-profit organization incorporated in 1956 and licensed by the Missouri Department of Agriculture. ​Funding for the organization comes from private donations. We do not receive any funding from any government agencies. We are the largest No Kill shelter in Southwest Missouri. No Kill means we do not believe in euthanizing animals for space, and we are dedicated to finding a home for every animal that comes through our doors.

We receive our animals from people giving up their pets for a variety of reasons, including changes in family situations and moving. Some of our animals have been strays rescued from the streets by a kind citizen. All of our animals are looking for permanent and loving forever homes!
