BANJO UPDATE – SUCCESSFULLY ADOPTED

9-year-old Red Cattle Dog x Staffy “Banjo” had shared his entire life since puppyhood with one person.

When his life companion made the hard decision to move overseas, she couldn’t imagine Banjo, with his particular quirks and habits, adapting to a new home or situation, so purely out of care & concern, she wondered if euthanasia could be the most compassionate solution.

After meeting with the adorable sweet-natured boy, I assured his owner that we could find Banjo a wonderful new home where he could adapt and continue to enjoy his life.

Enter Jeff and Robyn, who were missing the company of a dog on their farm in Newrybar. They also found Banjo to be “a gorgeous boy who we’d love to trial on our farm”.

Banjo bonded with Robyn immediately (he was used to a female companion) and very soon after bonded with Jeff too. He loves his long walks on the farm with Jeff, adores sitting with Robyn while she tends the gardens and relishes evening loungeroom-time where he sits with his paw or head, lovingly resting on their laps.

All the stakeholders in this story are absolutely delighted with the outcome.

Good on you Banjo! Happy life! 💓🐚

Banjo is a 9-year-old de-sexed male Red Cattle Dog x Staffy.

He has been with his owner all his life, but won’t be able to accompany her abroad – he is therefore looking for his ensuing and new life-adventure.

Banjo has always lived on an unfenced rural property, where he self-exercises, but reliably returns home for much loved human company and cuddles.

Banjo has also enjoyed beach excursions where he loves (a bit too much) to chase balls and socialises well with other dogs.

He can also be obsessive about wildlife, particularly birds, and will bark at them. He also barks for attention and rather charmingly, is a real chatterbox.

Banjo loves people and is a very sweet, gentle and affectionate boy. He enjoys being an inside/outside dog and would suit a rural/farm setting where he would love to hang out with and help his new companion/s.
