Location Fostered in San Ramon, CA

Hi! Bandit here. They say I’m a little dog with a BIG heart, and I couldn’t agree more! I’m an adorable 18-month-old Shih Tzu, and I am on a mission to find my forever family after being picked up from the shelter. I’m sweet, friendly, loving, and completely overflowing with affection. My daily routine involves showering my foster family with love, cuddling on the couch, and making sure everyone in the house is smiling. I’m a professional lap thief, and I’m firmly convinced that every lap in the room was made just for me.

I love spending time with people and also get along wonderfully with children and other dogs. I love going on walks, making me the perfect little companion for someone who enjoys getting outside and having a furry sidekick by their side. I am happiest whenever I’m cuddling at home, playing, meeting new friends, or going for a neighborhood stroll. My fosters and the rescue team are picky about who gets to meet me, I deserve a family who will give me the same unconditional love and affection that I give in return. If you’re looking for a loyal, loving companion to become part of your family, put a lot of love into that application.
