DESCRIPTION
MEET BONNIE
Bonnie is ready for her forever home
3+ years old • Spayed • 60+ lbs
Gray & White American Staffy + possible Boxer mix
Bonnie is an absolute tank with the sweetest puppy-dog eyes you’ve ever seen. She’s still young, full of life, and loves to run, play, and show off her zoomies the second she gets back from a walk.
After spending the last month in foster, she’s come out of her shell and is finally showing her big, fun personality. She loves being around her people, sharing the couch, and making new friends wherever she goes.
What Bonnie Loves
• FOOD… seriously, she’s very food motivated (perfect for training!)
• Water… so much that toilets must stay closed
• Playing with dogs and hanging with her humans
• Snuggles on the couch
She didn’t always have a stable past, so she’s learning what it means to feel safe and cared for every day.
Training & Home Needs
• Crate trained
• Mostly housebroken (still learning, will need routine)
• Good in the car
• Working on leash manners
• Can be a bit of an escape artist → secure fence strongly recommended
Kids
Best with dog-savvy kids who understand she’s still learning
Dogs
Dog-friendly! Loves to play and does well with both energetic and more chill pups
Cats
No cats for Bonnie
Her Perfect Home
Bonnie would thrive with a family who will continue her training, give her structure, and help her burn off energy. She already knows “sit” and “stay” and is eager to learn more especially if treats are involved.
She’s goofy, loving, and so deserving of a home that will give her the life she’s always deserved.
Fostered in Manayunk
