Bandit

Meet Bandit, an energetic and affectionate one-and-a-half-year-old Miniature Poodle/Jack Russell Terrier mix from Colmar, PA, whose playful spirit is as big as his fluffy curls! With his striking black-and-white coat and a personality that shines just as bright, Bandit is a pup who brings excitement, laughter, and endless cuddles to those around him.

Bandit is a lively little guy who thrives on playtime, whether it's tumbling around with his housemates, going on fun walks, or happily chewing on anything that resembles a stick or toy. He’s incredibly smart and always eager to be by your side—just call his name, and he’ll come running every time! While he hasn’t had formal obedience training, he already knows how to "sit" and is crate-trained, making him a great companion for someone willing to continue his training with patience and positive reinforcement.

This lovable fluffball has a high-energy personality and would do best with a family who enjoys keeping up with his enthusiasm. He does well with young children and is friendly toward strangers, making him a wonderful companion in a welcoming and active household. When it comes to other dogs, he can be selective—he gets along with some but may need slow introductions with others. Cats? He finds them a little puzzling but isn’t aggressive, just a bit shy.

Bandit is neutered, microchipped, and up to date on vaccinations, so he’s all set to join his new loving home! He follows a steady routine that includes three daily walks and cozy naps throughout the day. He also enjoys regular grooming, with baths every one to two weeks and professional grooming once a month to keep his fluffy coat looking its best.

If you’re looking for a smart, affectionate, and spirited pup to brighten your days, Bandit might just be the perfect match. And if you’re open to the idea of two loving companions, you might also want to meet his brother, Rocky—their bond is truly special. Could Bandit (and maybe Rocky!) be the perfect addition to your family? Reach out today to learn more about this adorable, curly-tailed sweetheart!
