Bonnie

Bonnie's adjusted write up:

Bonnie requires the following in her new home:
- An active lifestyle.
- A home where any children are over the age of 5
- Owners who can set healthy boundaries and continue her training.
- Her people home often.
- Must have a fenced yard for her to play and sniff in.
- Toys and enrichment activities.

Bonnie may only weigh 6kgs but she has the personality and energy levels of a much bigger dog. She will be looking for an active and interesting lifestyle with lots of cuddles thrown in. This lass is not interested in just being a lap dog. She is outgoing, intelligent, very inquisitive and spirited. Bonnie has a friendly, happy nature. Bonnie has responded well to basic training (including, crate training, waiting to be released to eat her food, sitting and leash walking). Bonnie will be best in a home with adults that are home often and who can give her a good amount of exercise and mental activities. She loves to fetch her ball repeatedly, to play a game of hide and seek with said ball and thinks a game of tug’o’war is awesome!

Bonnie is not suited to dog parks or other off lead dog spaces as she feels more comfortable in situations where she can know that her humans have her back for sure. It would be good to continue to have clear boundaries in the home to help her remember she is a dog and not a human, that she needs to listen to her people and follow their rules which will promote good house manners. Her growth in these areas of life since coming into the rescue have been absolutely stunning and she is such a delightful and fun dog to share daily life with.

Bonnie can live with another desexed confident male dog that is bigger than her. Other doggie matches are possible but need to be assessed on an individual basis. In her foster home she has lived alongside and adjusted to a few different size dogs, all with different personalities and she has really rocked at the necessary adjustments. Her foster carers are proud of how she has matured with handling new canine relationships.
Bonnie doesn’t bark much with door knocks, visitors or cars. If she is playing with another dog, she may be vocal in her enthusiasm, or if left outside for too long she will remind you that you need to let her back inside. If she is playing with her humans, that’s a relatively quiet affair. All her intensity is then poured into “focus”!!

This gorgeous girl adores car trips, any outing really, and ultimately spending as much time as possible with her people.
