Reston Now will now be featuring pets available for adoption as our Pets of the Week.  If the pets find a new home after our posting, the new owners will win prizes and treats from our sponsor, Becky’s Pet Care.

This week’s pet is Bandit, an older dog from Homeward Trails Animal Rescue who loves to ride in the car.

Little Bandit is an 8-year-old, adorable and active Lhasa Apso with the cutest little underbite!

His ideal family would be one that would love to spend time with him, taking him on lots of walks, car rides, and just hanging out with him and giving him lots of love.

Bandit thinks sitting in your lap and cuddling is the perfect way to spend the evening and he gets exercise by running circles around you. Literally!

Bandit simply loves to go for car rides so you can take him anywhere you go. He is a bit unsure around very young children, so an adult home or one with older children is ideal. If you will give him a wonderful home, Bandit will repay you by being your loving, loyal companion for life.

See more about Bandit on his Petfinder page.
