Meet Bonita!
Bonita is a pretty young lady, with shiny black coat. The light color hair around her eyes make her stand out in her pack. Despite her young age, Bonita has a calm temperament. Bonita is smart, very observant and shrewd; she would play with other friendly dogs and stay away from the hostile ones. She is loving by nature, enjoys people’s affectionate touching, even it’s from strangers. No matter eating or walking, Bonita minds her manner. She is potty trained and crate trained to sleep overnight. Bonita is also a quick learner, she would wait patiently for snack and sit calmly to be leached, ready for a walk. Bonita would make the best member for family looking for a companion pet. Please watch her videos to learn more about this adorable sweet girl!
About Bonita's rescue:
As a stray, Bonita was fed by the employees of a neighborhood gas station for a while. A kind lady in the neighborhood noticed this friendly sweet dog and posted their story on social media. Soon afterwards, we responded and managed to place Bonita under foster care, whilst preparing her for adoption.
