About Bonnie

Bonnie is a 1-year-old German Shepherd/Husky mix whose life started on a rough note, pulled alongside her brother from a shelter at just six weeks old. Both pups were sick with pneumonia, but thanks to plenty of care and attention, Bonnie bounced back quickly. Now she is energetic, social, and loves exploring her world, showing off typical puppy charm. Bonnie thrives on activity, picks up leash walking fast, and is well on her way to mastering outdoor potty breaks. She still needs guidance as she grows, so a family ready to keep up with her training will help her become a happy, well-balanced dog. Her new home must be committed to seeing her thrive into adulthood. Bonnie has her distemper, parvo, and rabies vaccinations and will be spayed once matched to her family. She’s outgoing, playful, and gets along well with other dogs—an ideal companion for an active household in Torrance, CA. Born January 4, she’s a Capricorn, which means she’s likely to be determined as she matures. Ready to fall in love? Hit apply and lets get started.
