Bono (D2711)

Red Heeler X

Bono is the son of Kayah, who is also available for adoption. \ Although the two have been together since Bono was born, he is very focused on the humans in his life and would be happy even if separated from Kayah. His carer describes him as having a "joyous, bubbly" nature. He always stays next to his carer, even when they are out walking, and loves nothing better than to sit at her feet at the end of the day. He is a very loyal boy who is good with kids. He loves the ocean and to burn off some energy running at the beach, and he also enjoys a morning walk. He is good with other dogs and is used to living inside and outside.. This mature boy would love to settle in and live out his days with a loving family.

More from Sue H re Kayah and Bono:

These two dogs were adopted from SAFE over 6 years ago. Their owner was called out of the country and that’s why he surrendered them to SAFE for rehoming. The dogs were located in Perth, and Sue says ‘everything fell into place’ when several businesses all jumped in with their support:

Bob Patterson at Paws, Claws & Beaks (http://www.pawsclawsandbeaks.com.au) Boarding Kennel took the dogs from the owner, and discounted their boarding costs until travel could be arranged to transfer the dogs to Karratha. (By the way, Bob also said they were delightful and if he’d been seeking a dog he’d have them any day.)

Epsom Vets (http://www.vetfind.com.au/epsom-avenue-veterinary-clinic-ascot-perth/) did temperament checks, vaccinations and microchipping, and Leticia, from the clinic, even provided transport from the boarding kennels to the vets and back, as Bono needed some extra vet work. When the vet had an opening in their schedule, they moved Bono’s appointment up, so all the work was completed on Friday instead of the following Monday as originally planned, thereby shortening their time in the kennels.

Angus Matheson from Jet Pets (http://www.jetpets.com.au) offered the use of his cages, and transported the dogs from the kennels to the airport, for their trip to Karratha.

It’s support like this that makes SAFE’s work possible... I can’t thank all those involved enough, as their great teamwork has eased the transition for Kayah and Bono considerably!
