Banjo

His journey started when he was found in the bush as a young pup with no sign of his parents. He spent the first year in our sanctuary where he learned to be a dingo with the other pups and dingoes in our care. Banjo made great progress in the sanctuary given his rough start to life and transitioned into foster care where he has been learning how to live with a family in a domestic setting for a number of months.

His quiet and gentle nature makes him a firm favourite of the two young girls in his foster home. Banjo is reserved until he gets to know you but once he does, you’ll be greeted by his beautiful long and bushy tail fanning out a special greeting for you. When you sit quietly he’ll come up to you and loves to get a gentle pat or to softly smell what you have been up to for the day. He is house trained and will sit quietly on his bed watching the activities of the household.

Banjo loves to go out for a walk with those he trusts and again responds very well to his young foster guardians and will walk well on lead for them. He has made excellent progress with his foster carers and will respond to commands such as ‘leave it’, ‘come’ and ‘sit’. On the home front where Banjo is free to move around more easily he plays well with other dogs and dingoes including puppies and has never shown any aggression towards people. He loves a good squeaky toy (has even been known to retrieve!) and keeps all of us amused with the obvious joy he has for hiding his soft toys around the garden.

Banjo is a gentle soul, wise beyond his young years. He’d do very well in a home where he has a full time human companion.

Alternatively if you cannot be home full time, Banjo would do well with another dingo or mid/large dog for company during the day and a companion who is willing to invest that little bit extra to help Banjo gain his confidence when out and about with other canines. Banjo is a strikingly good looking example of our beloved dingoes with much of the gentle and cautious nature that have enabled them to survive and thrive for generations on our land.
