About Bonnie (On Trial 1/2/14)
Bonnie is a healthy, 11 month old, red Australian Cattle Dog. She is just gorgeous, she has a stunning soft coat with a mixture of red/tan/white and black and white on her face. She is small for her breed, and probably be small to medium sized when fully grown. She is a very loyal dog with a very gentle nature.
Bonnie can’t get enough of cuddles and affection so someone who has a time to spend with her would be ideal. When she is bored she does occasionally chew as she is still teething, so she needs to be provided with chew toys and bones. We are teaching her sit, stay, come and down. She walks on the lead beautifully! If you have the time, Bonnie would love dog training classes as she is very bright and learns quickly.
Bonnie can be a little scared at times, but she loves children of all ages. She has been in a foster care with children 18 months and 3 years old and is great with them. She also gets on well with other animals as long as they are not overly dominant as Bonnie will want to play.
Bonnie has had surgery on her knee but is fully recovered and is an active, normal, healthy dog.
Bonnie travels very well in the car. She is toilet trained. She currently sleeps inside on her bed. She needs to be allowed to be inside of an evening to feel a part of the family. She is a fantastic family companion!
Bonnie's $400 adoption fee includes her desexing, vaccinations, flea and worm treatments, microchipping and Lifetime Registration so she is all ready to go! For more information or to meet Bonnie please phone foster carer Rachael on 0402-774-287. If no answer, please send a text or leave a voicemail and I will get back to you ASAP. Bonnie is in care in Beresfield, NSW, near Newcastle and Maitland.
Adoption details
(1) The first step is to phone (preferred) or email the foster carer listed on the pet's profile (scroll to the bottom on the description). They can tell you all about the pet. They will also ask you about what sort of home you are offering in order to assess if it is a good match.
(2) Arrange to meet the pet, usually at the foster carers home or nearby.
(3) If that goes well we will arrange a property check so we can verify that your home and yard are suitable for the pet you've selected. They will ask to see photo ID.
(4) If both sides agree, then you can pay for and adopt your new family member! The two week trial begins on the day of adoption.
