When Bonnie was picked up by animal control wandering along a highway in Utah, she would've had no clue that in just a few short weeks she'd be facing a death sentence. Seems that the shelter was so stressful for her all she wanted was to get out or have the other dogs leave her alone. Since neither was really an option, she became urgent! This is how Bonnie came to GPRRUM and a lot has changed since then, she has since been adopted and returned, due to no fault of her own. She now finds herself in an absolutely wonderful foster home and is ready to find her forever home, this is what her foster mom says about her.....
Bonnie is an absolute joy and one of the most low maintenance dogs you will meet!
She came to her new foster two months ago and a quiet environment with a regular routine has done wonders!
The first couple of weeks were an adjustment with her foster brother. Bonnie wanted a safe, dark space (in this case the guest bedroom) and growled at her foster brother the first few days when he came in.
After a week, they were getting along swimmingly and sleeping in the same room together. Now Bonnie initiates play with her foster brother at least once a day (generally before their morning walk).
Bonnie weighed 107 lbs when she came to her foster home and with daily exercise and a healthy diet (all natural people food, think the Farmers dog) she has lost at least 10 lbs.
She loves her daily walks (about an hour each day) but would probably be fine with less. She is one of the laziest dogs you will meet!
-loves to sleep
-good with bathing and having her nails cut
-loves to eat (she and her foster brother wait for their food together but she will bark or growl if he trying to take over her “food” territory
-does not chew or have separation anxiety.
-Very independent.
-Likes to dig once in awhile
-is a Pyrnees and likes to patrol the perimeter and notify her owners of any “danger”
- not a fence jumper!
- great with people and pre-teens.
- great with younger kids- unknown- hasn’t been exposed
- very good with medium to large size dogs WITH a proper introduction
-small dogs unknown. Has encountered a few and ignored them. Thought one was prey. Again a proper introduction is crucial for any dog.
Bonnie would do best in a quiet home with a regular routine. Although she likes to carve out her own private space, having owners home more often than not will give her the security she needs.
She is being fostered in NV, transport is available.
