Some love stories aren’t romantic… they’re legendary.

Bonnie and Clyde have been side-by-side for a very long time, and they intend to keep it that way. They play together, nap together, explore together, and yes — occasionally bicker like siblings who have shared one toy for too many years. But at the end of the day, you’ll always find them curled up close, fast asleep, perfectly content as long as they’re together.

These two are equal parts adorable chaos and heart-melting sweetness.

Clyde is the tiny, busy, hilarious one. He bounces through life with enthusiasm, loves a good game of tug with Bonnie, and has the classic bold chihuahua personality that makes you laugh daily. He’s still learning his manners and would do best in a home that understands small dogs with big opinions and is happy to continue his positive, force-free training. He can be a bit particular about food and “his” favourite sleeping spots, and he sometimes gets nippy when he’s overly excited — all things that are improving with structure and consistency. He’s crate trained, mostly house trained, good in the car, and happiest when Bonnie is nearby.

Bonnie is the social butterfly of the duo. She adores people, is curious about the world, and brings a lovely balance to Clyde’s antics. She loves toys, fetch, chew sticks, and of course, tug of war with her partner in crime. Bonnie is house trained, crate trained, walks nicely on leash (even if she does a few happy circles), and settles beautifully when left alone. She prefers people over other dogs and can be protective of food, so mealtimes need a little management — something she’s already learning in foster care.

Together, they are endlessly entertaining. Watching them play tug is like watching a comedy show, and their nighttime routine of choosing beds near each other is guaranteed to melt your heart.

Bonnie and Clyde are looking for a home that:

*Understands and appreciates bonded dogs.

*Is committed to continuing their training using positive reinforcement.

*Has older, dog-savvy children or adults.

*Is happy to manage feeding routines and continue working on manners.

*Will keep them together, always.

They have so much love to give and so much personality to share. If you’re ready for double the laughter, double the cuddles, and double the charm, Bonnie and Clyde are ready to steal your heart — together.

Combined adoption fee: $850. If you would like to learn more about Bonnie and Clyde, please complete an application on our website: https://www.ruffstartanimalrescue.com/dog-application-form

Go meet their pets

We do not host adoption events. We do bring some of our dogs to fundraisers to meet potential adopters who then must complete the full adoption process.

More about this rescue

We are a small foster based rescue who focuses on helping areas of overpopulation and dogs in desperate situations. We are run by dedicated volunteers and generally only have a handful of dogs in care at one time so we can focus on exactly what they need to feel better and find a loving home.
