About Bono

Bono has an easy kind of charm, gentle-natured but with a quiet presence that draws people in. He comes from the Icon litter—eleven pups born to their mama Lucille, who needed help raising such a large bunch after being found underweight and overtired. Bono took all the noise and the rotating bottles in stride. Now about nine weeks old, he carries that Lab-style broad head and long body, but with a small, low-to-the-ground frame that makes him unique in the pile. It's a guessing game where he'll land on the scale, but expect somewhere between 20 and 25 pounds as he grows. Bono is the type of pup who wants to stick close, blend easily into everyday life, and leaves you wondering how things felt complete before he arrived. He fits into a family without fuss or flash—and that's his magic. Ready to meet your new best friend? Apply now!
