My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Bonnie is an easy going girl who is about 5 years old, good with the other dogs that she has met and lived with, Good with kids. She is a protector and loved her human children in her last home. In fact she was going to be a service dog for an autistic child that she lived with and loved. That was the plan anyway. Then one day someone entered their home, and Bonnie was confused and didn't think the person should be in the home, and Bonnie told the person to leave and when then didn't, Bonnie bit them on the arm. The arm was badly bruised, but other then that not bad. Bonnie's owner said that she did want to have to deal with issues like that and gave her back to us. Funny, because she had asked for a protective dog when she first came to us. Had this person really been an intruder, Bonnie would have been a hero. We have taken a couple of weeks to observe her around people who come to our house to visit, and she has growled at a couple of people, but we were able to convey to her, that they were friends and it was alright for them to be in the house. I think the stronger she bonds will someone, she could potentially become a little over protective. Her new owner will need to socialize her as often as possible and teach her that it isnt her job to protect the family. Unless of course, you want her to have that job, then you should send her to protection training so that she can make better decisions on who she is suppose to protect you from. She walks well on a leash, she knows her basic commands, sit, stay, down, come, drop it, ect. She doesn't plow through doorways or jump on people when she gets excited. She is crate trained and potty trained and generally a well behaved dog. Have not seen her arounds cats, but there is a good possibility that she may do fine with them. Fill out a questionnaire found here http://www.rottenrottie.com/adoption.html and return it if you would like to meet Bonnie.
