My story

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

Please come to our adoption event to meet her and other of our rescued puppies, dogs, and kittens this weekend - Saturday 11/26 from 3:30 to 5:30 outside Petsmart (NOT Petco as they are located on the same street and people gets confused) Petsmart is next to Trader Joe's and Panda:)
1660 Garnet Ave, San Diego, CA 92109 - Please scroll all the way down to learn more about Bonita.

Bonita is about 7 to 8 months old - She has all the color of a Golden Retriever and temperament. She is also a Red nose American Pit Bull Terrier blends. Her momma is a beautiful female young dog with a wonderful temperament, but we don’t know who papa is, other than a rolling stone…! because she is a rescued kid.

She has the special trait of smiling:) she wrinkles her nose and shows her smile like the cartoon Scooby-Doo :)

Her momma's name is Momma Gummy Bear; she was a pup who grew on a hill and abandoned and she gave birth couple times; Bonita is from the litter of her 1st pups. Her second litter of 12 all died :(
We were able to rescue Momma bear, Bonita and sister Chula.

Bonita has been rescued for couple months now and has completed her wellness program of vaccinations, deworming and she has been spayed. She has also been treated with Bravecto to prevent fleas and ticks.

Bonita is now ready for her forever home; she is very social, friendly, healthy, and adorable. At this point, she will need basic training. She is crate trained as well.
Bonita will be perfect for an active family who has the experience of these 2 wonderful breeds who can give you many hours of enjoyment and company.

We are guessing will be medium-to-larger up to 55 pounds once full grown.
Bonita plays wonderfully well with small and big dogs. She may bark at dogs at the beginning but once they sniff each other she is ready to play.

She is happy, silly, and affectionate.

She is great with kids and will make wonderful family buddies – she will be a great companion for anyone.
Please open your home and hearts to our sweet and amazing 4 leg girl:)

A minute of conscious - Please read:)
We ask you Please to be SERIOUS adopters; as there have been so many people that are not ready. We set up meet & greet appointments, do a home visit or send them the address for some meet & greet locations, paperwork and suddenly they said they are not ready or spouse is not ready, etc.
These fur kids have a very hard day the day of their appointment. Due to travelling we hold their food, so they won't get car sick. We bath them, some of them are schedule for grooming as you know it is stressful for them; then they have to travel with us picking up other rescued fur kids, and so on, it is a very stressful hard day for them for people to just cancel at last minute or not show up or do show up and just say they are not ready. Our time as well as your time is valuable. Please don't waste valuable time that is so precious for a rescued pet. Every single wasted time is a time that an animal will die because we didn't get to them on time to help them. In addition, of wasting gas and grooming fees which are paid by volunteers.
Please take the time to put your shoes in the shoes of the volunteer and most of it to put your shoes on our rescued fur kids!! Please take a minute to tell yourself if you are ready to adopt and for this commitment.
LIVE!! LOVE!! LAUGH!! ADOPT A RESCUED HOMELESS PET AND SAVE A LIFE!!
