My name is Bonsai!

Meet Doberman Puppy Bonsai! Bonsai is a melanistic 6-month-old puppy with a big heart and an even bigger comeback story. He and his brother Onyx were found as strays and came into rescue needing some immediate TLC—both boys were very skinny, Bonsia was exceptionally emaciated.  Thanks to quick veterinary care and lots of love, both pups have healed up beautifully and are now doing great! Bonsai is dog friendly and enjoys the company of other pups. He has not been cat tested, but as a young puppy he’s very moldable and at a great age to learn appropriate manners with cats in a patient, structured home. He’s everything you love about a young pup: curious, resilient, and ready to take on the world with his person by his side. Bonsai is at the perfect age to grow up alongside his forever family, learn all the good things, and become an amazing companion. This sweet Doberman boy has already shown how resilient he is—now he just needs a safe, loving forever home to complete his happy ending.
