About Bonnie

Bonnie arrived at the shelter with her companion Buck after their owner could no longer care for them. At around 5-6 years old, she enjoys walks and playtime in the pen. Bonnie walks well on a leash, though she can pull if she spots a bunny or squirrel. Known for her sweet nature, she loves to hang out and get pets, making her an excellent couch buddy for your binge-watching sessions. While Bonnie had some masses removed during her stay here, she's now healthy and ready for adoption. She can be adopted alone or with Buck, as they share a friendly bond but aren't dependent on each other. Given her interest in small animals, it's best that she goes to a home without cats.
