Here's what the humans have to say about me:
Hi! My name is Banjo and I'm a really good boy looking for my forever home! I'm around 60lb and 4 years old. I've had many names this past year - Snape, Banjo, Bean and Bruce - but I'll respond to any of them, especially if you have a treat for me! I loooove food and it's the easiest way to win over my affection. I can be shy at first, especially around males, but once I know that I can trust you I'll be really friendly and sweet. I love playing with toys but I'm pretty low energy so I'll need a long nap after playing. I've lived with other dogs and a cat in my previous foster home and did wonderful around them. I haven't been around kids much and I might be a little nervous if they approach me too quickly but once I know that person is my friend, then you're my friend for life. I'm really calm and gentle and don't seem to have a mean bone in my body.
I had a really tough year - I was found running around in a church parking lot and was brought into a shelter in Houston. I had scars all over my body and my one ear is badly torn. Do you notice the white speckles on my face? Those are actually healed scars. I tried my best to be super well behaved in the shelter, but it's an overcrowded municipal shelter and I found myself on the euthanasia list after a month. I was a heartworm positive black dog and that can make my chances of being noticed and adopted REALLY hard in such a crowded shelter. I was really nervous that no one was going to notice what a good boy I was, even though I was trying my very best to be really quiet and not cause any problems. Luckily the shelter staff, intake staff, and volunteers all raved about what a perfect gentleman I was. I'm really easygoing, calm, and down to go anywhere with you - again, especially if there are treats involved! A wonderful foster stepped up and Bark About It Rescue was able to save me, treat me for heartworm, and transport me up north so I don't have to be a stray dog on the streets ever again.
Now I'm looking for my forever home, where I can live out my days snoozing on a comfy couch and getting all the treats and bones and toys that I think I deserve. I am crate trained, house trained, walk very calmly on a leash, super food motivated, and dog and cat friendly. Surely there's a family out there looking for a handsome gentleman to add to their home!
