Guinevere
Age: 3 years old
Breed: Domestic short hair Siamese mix
Background: Guinevere was rescued in March from Chicago Animal Control.

Bandit
Age: 2 years old
Breed: Rhodesian ridgeback mix. He looks like he could be part bulldog, but has the tall and lean body shape.
Background: Bandit was adopted from HELP when he was about 3 months old and was returned because the family was having a second child.
Personality: This 60-pounder has the sweetest personality. He is anxious to please and knows some basic commands. Bandit grew up with a small child and is great around kids. Bandit would do better in a home as an only dog or with another female. He plays with other dogs during the day at a doggy day care and just doesn’t have the confidence for “in your face” dogs. Bandit sleeps through the night and very much loves to be around his people. Bandit is low to medium energy.
Other: Bandit is neutered, microchipped, and up to date on shot and monthly heartworm and flea preventative.
Where to find him: Homes for Endangered and Lost Pets, www.helpinganimals.org or 877-364-2286.
