Cherryland Humane Society
Name: Bandit
Info: Male, 2 years
Bandit isn’t just a looker-he’s a true sportsman at heart. For this dashing guy, tennis ball is life. Nothing else matters once that green fuzzy ball enters the picture! If you’re in need of a loyal ball-chasing companion, Bandit is your MVP.
With that said, Bandit can get a little too into his game, so it’s important to set boundaries with ball time and work on cues like “drop it”-he has a habit of helping himself to toys (and sometimes hands!) when excitement takes over. Because of this, a home with mature, dog-savvy kids is the best fit.
Bandit enjoys the great outdoors, where he can sniff to his heart’s content and show off his leash skills. While he may come off a bit aloof at first, he warms up with patience and soon reveals his affectionate side. He’s a big fan of booty scratches, cozy snuggles, and playing detective to find where you’ve hidden his beloved tennis balls.
He’s smart, eager to please, and already knows sit, down, and come. As a working dog type, Bandit thrives when his brain and body are engaged-so a home that can offer enrichment, structure, and continued training would be ideal.
Bandit has potential to live with cats and other dogs with ongoing socialization and guidance. When the tennis balls are put away, he’s a curious, gentle, well-mannered gentleman who’s ready to explore the world by your side.
Ready to meet your match on and off the field? Bandit’s waiting-ball in mouth.

AuSable Valley Animal Shelter
Hello Friend! I’m Uno, yep – that’s right – just like the card game! The shelter staff gave me the name Uno, because they said that I’m 1 of a kind. I’m big, I’m handsome, and I have about 1 brain cell total – I don’t take offense, they say all the best boys do!
I am an American Bulldog, weighing in at about 110lbs. I’m roughly 1-1.5 years old, I’m neutered, I’ve been vaccinated, microchipped, and I’m up to date on my heartworm testing!
As you know, I’m a big dude, with a big personality, and a big past that I’m trying to overcome. I was originally found in Genesee County, when Animal Control saw a very angry & mean person throw me from a moving vehicle. I was scared, & injured, and hesitant to trust anyone again. Thankfully my friends at Genesee County Animal Control helped me learn that I could trust people again, and helped me get a much-needed surgery for my eyes! Then they reached out to my friends here at AVAS and I made my big journey up North!
Since I’ve been here, I’ve come such a long way! I’ve healed from my eye surgeries; I’ve been spending time playing with all the toys and eating all the snacks! I should let you know, I am an equal opportunity snacker! I love all of the snacks, treats, and I will eat anything – anytime! I love to enjoy long and slow walks, and take in all the smells outside. I also love to just roll around in the grass and relax!
The home I’m looking for will have humans familiar with large breed dogs, lots of patience (bonus points for those that have helped dogs overcome their past), older teenage children, and a comfy couch for me to relax. Although I’m young, I tend to be a bit on the lazy side. Oh, and a well-stocked treat cabinet is a must for me. I tend to get very excited and prey driven when I see those things that meow, so a home with no cats is going to be best for me. I might do well living with another dog, but I’d have to meet them first to make sure we’re compatible.
I’m hoping someone out there is looking for a smushy face like mine to make their house a home. If you’d like to meet me, or have any questions about me, reach out to my friends at AVASCares2@gmail.com, or by phone at 989-348-4117. I hope I get to meet you, and test drive your couch soon!
