Meet Bonnie Buchanan, a medium-sized black Lab mix with a medium coat, about five years old and currently in Springfield, MO. She shines in a house with a large fenced yard and won’t be happy in an apartment or a truck until her leash manners improve. Bonnie is loving and affectionate, always ready to dole out playful energy. She gets along with female dogs and dog-savvy cats, but her enthusiasm may sometimes be too much for more reserved pets. She does well with kids, though smaller children could get accidentally bumped during play. Bonnie greets new situations and people with a bit of timidity, so slow introductions and patient, steady guidance help bring out her best. A moderately active home suits her, especially if you’re up for continuing her training—she already sits, shakes, and is working on “off.” Bonnie is fully housebroken and crate trained, and she’s learning to be more comfortable with car rides and walking on a leash. If you’re searching for a smart, affectionate, loyal companion who’s ready to flourish with a bit of structure, Bonnie Buchanan is one to meet. Ready to meet your new best friend? Apply now!
