My story

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

Meet Bonita – The Bashful Golden with a Heart of Gold!
Bonita might start off shy, but give her a little time (and maybe a treat or two), and you’ll see her golden personality shine! She’s been working hard in the shelter’s Shy Dog Program and is getting more confident every day.

This sweet girl finds the noisy kennel life a bit overwhelming, but once she’s out and feeling safe, she’ll melt your heart with gentle kisses and surprise you with her happy little zoomies. She’s affectionate, treat-motivated, and secretly believes she’s training you to hand out snacks on command.

If you’re patient, kind, and ready to help a gentle soul blossom, Bonita will reward you with love, loyalty, and maybe a few goofy spins of joy when no one’s looking.

She’s shy by name, but golden by nature—Bonita’s ready to glow up in her forever home!
