About Bonnie

Bonnie is a special, outgoing girl about 10 months to a year old and weighs in at a perfect, compact 25lbs. She was found as a stray in a known dumping area and later ended up at a high-kill shelter, but she’s wasted no time showing how much love and fun she has to offer. With a playful spirit and age-appropriate energy, Bonnie fits right in with other dogs and has shown she’d thrive with an active family, but she has a mellow side, too. Bonnie loves toys, treats, and exploring the yard just as much as lounging on her dog bed. She’s a smart dog, listens well, and isn’t much of a barker. She sticks close to her people, enjoys leash walks, and rides well in the car. Potty trained in her current foster home, she transitions well in a crate or pen but will need the usual adjustment in a new setting. Bonnie is also good with nail trims and bath time. She’s up to date on vaccines, spayed, dewormed, on flea/tick prevention, and microchipped. Bonnie gets along with other dogs and children, making her a great pick for families. She’ll be a loyal companion and walking buddy for someone ready to share an active, affectionate life. Ready to fall in love? Hit apply and lets get started.
