Banjo is one of those dogs who's got everything going for him but a permanent home.  He is bright, calm, loving and quiet, making him a great choice for someone living in a townhome, condo or apartment.  He learned very quickly to relieve himself outside and has been a delight to his foster mom.

His foster mom tells this story:  "When Banjo arrived at my home, he grabbed onto a stuffed rabbit that was given to my beagle Franny and just would not let go!  That night and every night thereafter, he sleeps with the bunny, and in the morning he takes the bunny off his bed and takes it to the pillow in the sun room as though to say, "OK, this is my place for the day.  Bunny calls it!"  And he just seems so happy..."

Banjo gets along very well with his live-in foster sister, as well as visiting dogs.  He has learned to enjoy being picked up for a cuddle.  Once, he slipped his harness and ran for the bushes, but trotted right back and stood patiently while having it put back on.

He likes attention, but is not an in-your-face boy.  Banjo is a very good and very easy boy to have around.

Dream Home Minimum Requirements: Just needs love and a human to love him.  Oh, and snacks.  He'd really like a home with snacks!
