🐾 Meet Banjo  
ID #A2083553  
6-year-old Male German Shepherd Mix, Black / White  
Weight: 56.4 lbs  
Intake Date: 6/30/2026  
Banjo came in with another dog, who is not currently on the euthanasia list (ID #A2083552, picture in comments).

Medical Notes:  
Banjo is heartworm positive and has mild dermatitis affecting his ears, head, chest, shoulders, and legs. A skin scrape was negative for mites, and no secondary skin infection was found. He has been treated with Advantage Multi and pyrantel dewormer, and has received his DA2PP, Bordetella, and Rabies vaccines. His skin condition is considered mild and manageable with continued care.

Behavior Notes:  
Banjo is a gentle but frightened dog who appears shut down by the shelter environment. He will slowly approach when spoken to kindly and allowed time to build trust, but becomes fearful when asked to leave the kennel. He often prefers to remain curled up on his blanket and has needed gentle handling due to his fear.

Little Banjo is on the euthanasia list at BARC, Houston for Monday, 7/6/26 @ 1pm. Sweet 6 year old GSD mix who’s timid at first but quickly opens up. Available for adoption in the US/Canada or local foster. I hope someone can give this boy a chance. Please share.
