 Bandit has improved in leaps and bounds over the last 3 months, but not without a few bumps along the way. Not only had he been physically starved and neglected, but was also emotionally scarred. I believe the sole reason his original owner purchased this registered collie was to use him for stud. Why, otherwise, would this sweet collie be sent to live outside among trash from the age of 6 weeks.
Bandit was 10 1/2 years old when he came into foster and was not neutered. He knew nothing about being housebroken or living in a home with a family. He was only programmed for the need to breed. Because Bandit was only 49 pounds, the vet recommended he gain weight before undergoing neuter surgery. Those three weeks were filled with lip smacking, drooling, marking and the constant obsession to mount the other dogs in the home even though they were all spayed and neutered.

His last few years will be filled with days of running and playing with the other collies, never having to worry about when and if he will be fed and receiving regular grooming so he can feel and look his best ever. And Bandit has taught us one important lesson to - never walk away from the grill with the cover open because he cannot resist stealing the steak when you are not looking!
