Special adoption considerations: Bon Bon is a truly Lucky Dog. She tested positive for heartworms, but landed in a place where heartworm treatment is provided! Heartworm is not contagious to people or other pets, but results from mosquito bites. Heartworm, if left untreated, is life threatening, but after treatment, dogs that were heartworm positive should suffer no significant long-term effects so long as they are kept on a monthly heartworm preventative. Heartworm dogs can resume full active and normal lives, but need to be kept calm for 4-6 weeks after treatment. We are happy to discuss where in the treatment process this Lucky Dog is in right now! Just email the adoption coordinator - the address is at lower left!
Bon Bon is Looking For: Her forever home! This sweet girl landed in the shelter through no fault of her own. At about four years old, she's past her puppy days - and is in her prime as an adult dog. She's up for adventure - she's eager for sniffy walks and romps and world exploration with her humans! A cushy dog bed, quality kibble, and lots of snuggles round out her wish list. But most of all she wants to know where she belongs, that she's safe and loved. What do you say? Do you have space in your home and your heart for Bon Bon?

What My Foster Says About Me: Bonbon is a sweet and calm dog. There are many noises in DC but she handled it pretty well! She is a very strong puller but as the walk progressed, the pulling lessened. She wasnt jumpy and did well following direction. She does not know the sit command, it seems. Very calming presence.

Lucky Dog cannot guarantee any dog is housebroken. All of our dogs are working on their crate training.
