Banks Urgent: 2/14/11	Breed: Pitbull Terrier {mix}
	Age/Sex: 1 yr/Male
	One-year-old Banks was left in the local dog park. He played with the other dogs in the snow as he awaited our arrival to pick him up. The concerned citizen pointed him out in the park but he was hard to spot because he blended in with the snow banks, hence his new name. Banks is DEAF but responds well to face recognition and some hand signals. He would love a home where he will receive extra training for his disability. He is very sweet and cuddly but does play like a wild man at times and it is hard to get his attention in order to have him chill out. A patient person is definitely needed to partner with this adorable little guy.
