About Bonsai

Meet beautiful Bonsai! This lovely, affectionate pup is on the lookout for her forever home, and it could be with you! Rescued from an overcrowded facility in rural Kentucky, she came to safety with her four littermates. Now, at just 8 months, Bonsai weighs a little over 50 pounds of pure joy and is being showered with love by her foster family in Chicago. Bonsai is a delightful mix of German Shepherd and Doberman, along with a dash of Australian Shepherd, Great Pyrenees, and Chihuahua. She has inherited the best traits from her breed mix, making her a fantastic friend for an active household. While a bit shy with new people, she warms up quickly with gentle words and kind pats. It's best for her to be in a home with older children, as very young ones can be a bit overwhelming for her sensitive nature. Bonsai bonds deeply with her humans and enjoys playing with her toys and cuddling on the couch. She’s doing very well with house training and has a keen eagerness to please, making her a quick learner. Potential adopters should be ready to continue her training and maintain a consistent home schedule. Bonsai is spayed, microchipped, and up to date on vaccinations, eager to start a new chapter with a loving family. Submit your application today to meet this sweet girl!
