00:00This is Banjo. Banjo is part gator, part pig.

00:04I'm really excited to be his dad and I'm excited to have this silly boy.

00:07Whenever I go and foster, I always ask for the dog that's been there for longest or is suffering.

00:13And so Banjo was that guy.

00:16Today I am picking up my 40th foster.

00:19It might sound a little dramatic, but I like to get the apartment ready.

00:22I want them to know that the space is also theirs.

00:25We got bowls, baby.

00:27That bed is made.

00:28Ready for some petty cuddles.

00:30On my way to pick up our boy Banjo.

00:32And the moment he walked out of the door, he just peed like nonstop.

00:37And I was like, yeah, this is the one.

00:40Hey, buddy.

00:40Banjo was just ready to be held, to be touched, to just rest his head finally.

00:45So now we got toys, goodies.

00:48I'm gonna go over house rules.

00:50I have this bully ritual as they enter the pit bull palace, which is my small New York apartment.

00:56I like to give them a coconut oil shampoo bath.

01:02Good job.

01:05I also like to watch 101 Dalmatians.

01:09Banjo's comfortability with me was pretty immediate.

01:12Hey, who's my gator?

01:14Hey, gator.

01:15But we had a lot of anxiety.

01:17It's okay, buddy.

01:18I promise.

01:19Come on, come on.

01:21It was hard for him to go on walks.

01:23At first, he was terrified of the stairs.

01:26So I've been telling Banji baby over here that there's treats upstairs.

01:31I'm gonna try to use that method today to get him up the stairs.

01:34It was a lot of me stopping in my tracks wherever we were to talk to him and talking through it.

01:41We're gonna get some treats upstairs, okay?

01:43Treats, all right?

01:45You got this, buddy.

01:46Come on.

01:47I believe in you, buddy.

01:48You're doing it, buddy.

01:51Yes, bud.

01:52Buddy, come here.

01:53Come here.

01:54Just seeing that shell break in real time is so emotional.

01:58This Banjo, our baby boy, our lamb manatee, has conquered the stairs.

02:04When Banjo and I had our very first successful walk,

02:08I did this little tippy-tappy, and he sort of mimicked me.

02:13Good walk.

02:14That walk was good.

02:17That walk was good.

02:18It just brought me so much joy to see him so joyful.

02:22And from that moment forward, whenever we had a good walk, I would always do the dance.

02:32The last few months or so of us together, he was now in the driver's seat.

02:36I was in the passenger seat letting him drive,

02:38and it was an absolute blessing being a passenger in Banjo's car.

02:42Oh, look at him.

02:44Oh, buddy.

02:47It's such a weird thing you have to do.

02:49You develop this relationship and this bond, and they become a part of your life.

02:54And then, out of nowhere, a day comes along where

02:57someone else sees exactly what you see, and you have to let them go.

03:03Good morning.

03:04It is Banjo's adoption day.

03:06It's one of those things where you kind of feel like you're always ready for it,

03:09but you're never ready for it when it's ready for you.

03:13Let's get you ready, huh?

03:15I got all this stuff together.

03:18I prepped for baby gator Banjo before he left me to let him know that he's good

03:24and to make sure that his new family has stuff that he likes.

03:28Crying like a baby, and he's lying down like a baby.

03:32Sounds about right.

03:36Banjo reacted lovingly to his forever family.

03:39It was emotional for me to see because it was seeing this new Banjo.

03:43I feel like that Banjo was always there.

03:46He was just trapped.

03:47There he goes.

03:48I'm so proud of him.

03:50I knew from the moment they met that he was going to live with them forever.

03:55I couldn't have asked for a better situation for my little piglet, Mr. Banjo.

04:01Banjo has two fur siblings.

04:03It's just amazing to see that Banjo not only has human family, but animal family as well.

04:09This is the forever that me and Banjo prayed about over our dog treats.
