“Hello there, I'm Banksy! I'm full of life, always ready for a game of fetch or a good puzzle. I've got energy to burn and I'm smart as a whip, so I'm hoping for a family who loves to play and learn as much as I do. I can be a bit shy initially, give me a little time, some yummy treats, and pets; and I'll be your best friend. I like my independence, but I'm also very curious about the world around me. I'm looking for a home with a yard to explore, no apartments please. Adopting me means endless fun, love, and a loyal companion!”

Banksy (45979) is a 7 year old male Australian shepherd in search for a home that will understand his needs to be successful in that home. Banksy originally came to the shelter as a stray, so not much is known of his past. Banksy can be shy initially and would greatly benefit going to a home that is experienced with the breed or other working dog breeds like himself. Banksy has met other dogs here at the shelter and has gotten along with them well. We recommend Banksy not go to a home with children 8 and under. Banksy would do best in a yard to play in, so he would not be ideal for apartment or condo living households.  You can visit this pet during our Animal Viewing Hours below.
