For Adopt a Pet and the PEDIGREE® brand, October is all about finding homes for dogs in shelters. Adopt this month for a PEDIGREE® Wet Food Pouch and a chance to win a Homecoming-style photo shoot and shelter donation.
Meet Banks, the lovable hound with a heart of gold! Read what Banks's foster has to say about him:
"I can't say enough how much I absolutely ADORE him! He's 9 and a half, but he's full of life and energy. Banks absolutely LOVES his walks and being outside, and he enjoys spending time with humans.
He's good about letting me know when he needs to go outside and waits patiently at the door. If I don't catch him, he'll bark to get my attention, although he does still have the occasional pee accident in the house.
Banks gets along well with other dogs, but he likes to be in their space a lot, so he might do best with dogs who are more social and don't mind that kind of interaction. He's reactive to other dogs during walks (barking and lunging), but with some training treats, he quickly shifts his focus back to me.
At home, he loves lounging on the couch and snuggling with his humans. He's even taken to sleeping in the bed with me, and he stays in one spot all night. He's highly food motivated, and I found out he knows tricks like sit, paw, lay down, and even jump. He also stays if you tell him to!
Banks also enjoys playing with toys every now and then-his favorite is a crocodile-shaped squeaker toy-and he loves a good game of tug of war! He's such a sweet guy, too-he gives the most gentle kisses and is always affectionate.
When he first came to me, Banks was constantly licking his paws, but since starting allergy medication and receiving a Cytopoint injection, he's been doing so much better! It's really helped him, and he seems much more comfortable now.
Oh, and he's a talker! If I bark, he'll bark back, which is just hilarious.
All in all, Banks is such a sweet, fun, goofy, and loving dog, and I feel so lucky to have him in my care. Thank you for placing him with me, we are enjoying our time together! "
