About Bonnie
Little Bonnie, the cuddlepie.... , a small English Staffy....this little girl is the most gentle, snuggliest, most affectionate that her carer has ever met. She’s been a dream in the couple of weeks she’s been in care. Excellent with cats and her 3 doggy foster brothers, rarely barks and is just so eager to please! Bonnie wants so badly to be a good girl, and if you show her what you want she just can’t wait to do it!
Bonnie is very popular wherever she goes and everyone comments on her quiet kind nature. Quite a few times, her carer has been calling the dogs only to look down and see Bonnie waiting quietly for her next instruction. She sticks like glue! Bonnie is a real people-dog and would love a home where she’s part of everything. She’s spent quite a bit of time with 2 and 4 yo children and has enjoyed their soft pats and kisses. She hasn’t put a foot wrong whilst in care but would love her own family, even a doggy companion would be nice! She stays at home regularly on her own and behaves perfectly! She loves snuggling and wearing clothes too, as her coat is so fine and satiny.
?
Bonnie loves car rides and sits quietly. She may get in the front if she’s left there for a while, but gets straight in the back when told to. At the off-leash dogpark she plays well with others and stays close to her carer at all times. Bonnie would love a home with kind people and especially some kids to adore, and maybe school runs, family days out etc!
Medical notes
Bonnie has been desexed, vaccinated and micro chipped. She is up to date with flea and worm control.
Adoption details
Once the animal is advertised candidates for adoption are requested to fill in a form.
The adoption questionnaire form asks where the animal will sleep, details of people and other animals in the home, training and exercise plans etc. We use this form as part of our screening process.
If we like what we read and the animal’s individual needs are met we then conduct an informal phone interview.
Then the potential adopter meets the animal at the carers home or the carer may choose to take the animal to the adopter’s home to do a house and yard inspection.
If the adopter meets the animal at the carer’s home a house/yard inspection is done after the meet.
When the yard inspection is done we are able to further evaluate the suitability of the candidate to adopt.
If we are satisfied that the animals needs will be met by the adopter and that they are a good match for one another then a trial period may begin.
We have legally binding pre-adoption forms which allow us to remove the animal from the home if all other solutions to issues have failed.
We have a good support base which adopters can utilise if needed, such as a professional trainer, a behaviourist, vets and a groomer.
Homeless Hounds offers support to our adopters for the life of the animal. It is policy that each adopter is aware that if the ever need help or to rehome the animal then HH wants to facilitate that.
Our procedures are based on advice from "model" and well established rescue groups and trial and error.
This pet has been adopted and found love with its new family.
