*Banks is attending the Gregory Hills Macarthur Pets adoption day on Sunday 15th June with his foster carers*
Banks is in a foster home in a unit/apartment - read below to find out what he's been up to!
"He's now been left at home up to seven hours on his own with no issues at all - he stayed in his bed and slept the whole time and was pumped to go to the park when I got back. He's a very affectionate boy, loves pets, and presses his head into my chest or leg for neck scratches. He's pretty goofy and playful, loves a squeaky toy and has started bringing them to me to play. He's inquisitive, always wants to know what I'm doing or to investigate the not-too-scary sounds. He's been quite resilient all things considered! Even though he gets a bit anxious on walks sometimes, he still gets excited to go out the next time I pick up his leash, and will happily take himself up the stairs even knowing the loud cars are at the top - he's been very brave!
Banks ended up meeting my landlord's small dog and spent some supervised time with her in my apartment. He was good, even initiating play at one point - it lasted all of a second though because she's about 1/10th his size, if that. He's had absolutely no issues with any kitchen noise including the range hood, air fryer, gas stove, etc. My landlords use a mechanical inclinator that docks above my deck that can be quite loud and he's so used to it now he can stand under it when it's moving without getting scared. He's great with stairs, if a bit wobbly at times but it hasn't stopped him yet. He's a very gentle boy too, very politely and delicately takes treats and doesn't play rough by any means"
Banks would suit a home with another dog, he is very dog social and loves spending time with other dogs. He would be OK with longer hours alone as tested in his foster home, and a house/unit with or without a backyard. He is still mastering the doggie door in foster care.
Banks is available from the Western Sydney adoption centre.
