B onnie

Bonnie is a very pretty, blond, 2 year old girl that was originally found as  a stray. She spent two weeks living at a vet's office, because they liked her so well, before coming to Gold Ribbon Rescue. Bonnie is doing well in her foster home and loves playing with her foster GR brother and sister. She is also good with any other dogs we have encountered. She is good with kids, including toddlers and takes treats SO gently. She does enjoy her treats and has learned to sit and shake. We are working on stay and down. Bonnie is still learning her name and needs to practice coming when called consistently. Bonnie is house trained but is still learning to stay off the furniture (greatly improved!) and to tell the difference between doggie toys and baby toys. She really enjoys dog bones, etc., so when she takes the wrong thing, we substitute a dog chew for that and she is content with the swap.

Bonnie seems to enjoy the game of dashing out the front door and watching all the silly humans chase her up and down the street. She likes to see what type of treats we will bring out to tempt her to come back home. I am sure she wonders why we are chasing her and calling, "Bonnie!" If we only knew her real name, perhaps she would listen. We are working on some behavior techniques to help Bonnie learn that it is not a good idea to bolt out the door. Bonnie is very clever and is showing much improvement already. However, her new family will need to continue with this program until Bonnie  is totally adjusted and comfortable in her new home and becomes attached to her new family.

Bonnie is very calm in the house and enjoys romping around outside with the other dogs. She enjoys fetching and has jumped in the pool a few times to cool off. She is a good swimmer! Bonnie has a great appetite and eats her food very well. We have not had any problems with counter surfing or raiding the trash. Outside, she is well behaved. The only digging she does is to create a little "nest" in the kids' sandbox to have a nice, cool, snugly place to lay down.

Bonnie is anxiously waiting for her special forever family that will love her and give her a home that she can call her own.
