About Bonk
Say hello to Bonk! This charming 1 and a half-year-old staffy mix loves nothing more than your attention, playful interaction, and affection. His personality is unique and compelling, making him quite the character in the best way possible.
Bonk would be quite happy as the only pet in the house however a more relaxed and quiet dog could also be beneficial to Bonk.
His individual personality pounds with the heartbeat of playfulness and a craving for companionship. He's energetic without being overwhelming, he is charming, and playful, and affectionate in the coziest way.
If you are looking for a dog who will add laughter and companionship to your home, and you have the time and love to give Bonk the attention he adores, then he could be the perfect new member of your family.
Adoption details
We are not open to walk ins, appointments by booking only. All households members must be present before we can adopt an animal out.
As our goal is to adopt animals out from the shelter into loving homes as fast as possible, multiple bookings may be made for the same animal.
We are not able to hold any animals for any reason.
As such, there is a possibility that the animal you may have found a forever home before your appointment. If this is the case we will inform you by phone call as soon as possible.

Apologies if we do not reply to your enquiry, we are a busy Shelter and get pulled away from the office often.
We appreciate you wanting to adopt! Please do not let this discourage you from adopting in the future!
