My story

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

*** Iandamp;#39;ve got a video starring ME for you to watch! Click through my pictures, and youandamp;#39;ll find it there! ***andlt;br/andgt;andlt;br/andgt;Big boys donandamp;#39;t cry, right? Well I certainly try to live by that motto, but ending up all alone at an animal shelter can certainly make a guy a bit weepy. Iandamp;#39;m not gonna lie, I was very scared at first, but Iandamp;#39;m getting the hang of it here, and I feel more like my old self every day. Hi, Iandamp;#39;m Banner, and I am approximately 6 years young. Iandamp;#39;ve got the sweetest eyes, and the softest face that is chock full of funny expressions. Some of my new friends at the shelter are engaging me with games of andamp;quot;tugandamp;quot; and andamp;quot;keep awayandamp;quot;, and Iandamp;#39;m getting to go on those fun andamp;quot;walkiesandamp;quot; with volunteers and staff. Iandamp;#39;m even learning some cool new commands - andamp;quot;drop itandamp;quot; is a new one, and Iandamp;#39;m very good at it now. I definitely know how to sit for a treat, and since I consider myself a pretty intelligent guy, I know I could learn a bunch more commands if only someone would teach me. You perhaps?andlt;br/andgt;andlt;br/andgt;Not to spend too much time bragging on myself, but I had such a great meet and greet recently. I was so well behaved, good energy level, so sweet and affectionate, attentive to the adopters, and I just wanted to soak in all the love and pets that I could. I was FUN! The adopters werenandamp;#39;t ready yet, BUT, that didnandamp;#39;t mean that I didnandamp;#39;t SHINE! Iandamp;#39;m really an angel in dogandamp;#39;s clothing. I even had an overnight at a staff memberandamp;#39;s house the other day, and she said that I was a wonderful houseguest. I was into snuggling! I canandamp;#39;t help it, Iandamp;#39;m a big love.andlt;br/andgt;andlt;br/andgt;I think my very best new home would be one with older kids and one where I can be the only pet. Iandamp;#39;ve always considered myself the star of the show, the center of attention, maybe even the king of my castle. Iandamp;#39;d like to be somebodyandamp;#39;s baby. Wanna meet? Come to the shelter and letandamp;#39;s see what might come next for us, ok?andlt;br/andgt;andlt;br/andgt;Love from Banner
