About this Dog
Banjo showed up on trash night—literally. He ran right up to his future Texas foster on the street, no collar, no chip, just a scrappy, skittish guy who’d clearly been fending for himself for a while. Turns out, he’d been roaming the neighborhood for a month, dodging leashes but accepting food. When he was ready, he picked his people. Now? Banjo is all in. He’s affectionate, sweet, and a total cuddle pretzel at night. He’ll melt into you for belly rubs and forehead kisses like it’s the best part of his day (because it is). He’s also smart—he picked up “sit” and “off” in minutes and is super food motivated, which makes training a breeze. He’s got some leftover street habits—he’ll counter surf if you’re not watching and test dog gates to see if he can Houdini his way through. But he listens, even from another room. He’s working on being alone without getting too vocal, and he’s making progress. He isn't very noisy, just lets out the occasional whine and bark. Banjo loves people. Like, really loves them. He’d do best with someone who’s home a lot or who can get him into doggie daycare. He hasn't been introduced to cats yet, but he’s curious about wildlife (deer and raccoons are very exciting), so cats might not be a great match. Banjo is from Texas. If you are interested in getting to know this animal better, please fill out an adoption application. An adoption application is the best way to show your interest in an animal and is not a binding contract. To learn more about Ruff Start’s adoption process and the care our foster animals receive, please visit our How to Adopt page. If you are unable to adopt but want to help this animal and others in our care, you can donate to support the medical and veterinary needs of all Ruff Start Rescue animals.

Adopt Banjo and Receive Banjo's Fund
Adopting a pet can be expensive, and we're trying to help by fundraising for each individual in need of adoption. After verifying the adoption, Banjo's new family will receive the funds that their pet has raised.
$0.0 is Banjo's current balance
The adopting family is the only party eligible to receive the contribution. If you adopted the Banjo, thank you for providing a home and a loving family!
Please begin the process of claiming Banjo's contribution here.
For adoptions in which nokillnetwork.org was the matchmaker and we have contact information for both parties, we make every effort to contact the adopting family. For adoptions that were not facilitated by nokillnetwork.org, we still encourage the adopting family to claim the contribution by submitting the necessary information.
The adopting family is the only party eligible to receive the contribution. The adopting family will be required to provide proof of adoption between 4-6 weeks after adoption. This is to ensure that the home is a good match and Banjo was not returned. After we have verified the adoption, Banjo’s balance will be sent to the adopting family. Our staff provides instructions and help throughout this process.
We want the Banjo’s balance to go to the adopting family as a way to say thank you for providing a loving home and to help with pet care expenses. In the unfortunate event we cannot contact them and verify the adoption, Banjo’s balance will remain in our general fund. This fund may be used to match contributions made to other adoptable pets, incentify other adoption-related actions, promote our mission, or support the operating expenses of nokillnetwork.org. If you would like to make a direct contribution to nokillnetwork.org to help us help other pets in need, you can go here. We appreciate your generosity and help!
