About Bonnie
Bonnie is 4.5 year old German Wirehaired Pointer mix. She is a big sweet girl (35kg).
Bonnie came to Best Friends after an extended period in a council pound. Since coming into care in October 2022 Bonnie has transformed. She is a very friendly, happy and highly-energetic dog but she is also timid. She is also a very good guard dog and is very cautious of strangers, especially men, when she first meets them. However, once she's comfortable she will insist on lots of pats and attention.
Bonnie can sit, drop, walk on the lead fairly well and has good recall unless distracted. When on lead she can be strong when excited or trying to greet other dogs but this is improving. She has no interest in chasing cats and has also proven to be good around horses and cattle. Around other dogs she knows Bonnie loves zooming, tug, and wrestling but she can get rough so life with a dog similar in size and play style would suit. Bonnie's ideal owner will have experience training and handling large breeds and have the patience and understanding needed to build trust with a timid dog. Bonnie will need a home with high fences. She is crate trained and likes to sleep in her crate at night. Bonnie is located in Wagga.
