Bonnie Joe is a 3 year old Boxer/Shepherd mix. She was dropped off at a high kill shelter in Indiana and gave birth shortly after. She is great with the kids in her foster family (ages 10 & 12), and would likely do best with a family with kids that don't pull on or scare her. She is an incredibly snuggly girl, perfectly happy to cuddle on the couch all evening. She walks well on a leash, is house broken, and sleeps in a crate. She is a wonderful dog deserving of her forever home! She is up to date on vaccines, microchipped, and altered. If you would like to meet this dog, please call Teri at 630-897-7454. The adoption fee is $275.
