Not everyone wants a big, playful dog. Some people want a sweet, mellow dog — a dog like Bandy. Bandy just knows there’s a dashboard on a big motorhome waiting for him to set down on a pillow and nap in the sun. A 13-year-old neutered apricot toy poodle, Bandy is in the prime of his life. He’s housetrained with nice manners, likes other dogs and cats and enjoys being groomed. This quiet gentleman will return your love with interest.

Bandy needs a quiet home, though, because an old war injury left him with a broken front leg. He’s healed, but limps a bit and doesn’t want anyone bumping into him.

If you’d like to adopt a pet, call or stop by the Animal Shelter across from Public Works off the Sterling Highway. The shelter is open Tuesday-Saturday, noon to 5 p.m. Call 235-3141 for more information.
