“Hey, Santy! It’s me, Bandit! I was hoping that you’d ask me to help pull the sleigh this year—huskies are very good at this, you know. But I realized that you knew full well that the minute you stopped at the right home for me, I’d beat you down the chimney or however you get in, curl up under the tree, and refuse to leave.” Bandit’s correct. He’s been kenneled for over a year now, and despite the walks and Fido Field Trip breaks, he’s still there. He’s a good boy—he plays well with other dogs with similar energy and strolls slowly on leash, never pulling the walker along. He’s 5 years old and needs a home with humans familiar with the breed who’ll give him the late holiday gift of a forever and ever home.
