We have a 6 year old son and decided we wanted a dog. Pat and I hadn’t had a dog since we were kids but we knew the joy they brought and wanted that for our son. So secretly we were both online kind of dipping our toe in. I had found an 8 month old terrier mix and put in the application then came home and told my husband 🙂 The foster mom Susan said they reviewed our application but most likely he was very close to being adopted by another family. I had told her I was looking for a Schnauzer/terrier mix. She said take a look at our site, we just started fostering Bandit and he is a Schnauzer mix. We met him on a Thursday and he was ours on Saturday April 11,2015. Needless to say we are in love with him. I didn’t think I could love a dog as much as I do this one, he is such a wonderful addition to our family…plus to see my son’s smile is worth it. He stole our hearts that Bandit…a happy beginning.
