Bonnie Has Arrived in Wisconsin and Is Settling Into Foster Care
Bonnie safely made the trip from Georgia to Wisconsin with Mutt Life Dog Rescue and is now settling into her foster home as she begins a new chapter of her life.
Bonnie and her two siblings were originally found as frightened strays in rural Georgia. They were so fearful and shut down that rescuers had to safely trap them before bringing them to safety.
Despite her difficult start, Bonnie has been making steady progress. Since arriving in foster care, she has continued decompressing and is slowly learning that people and home life can be safe and comforting.
As Bonnie settles in, her sweet and gentle personality is starting to shine through more each day. She is still building confidence and learning puppy basics such as potty training, crate training, and leash walking. Because her past is unknown, many everyday experiences are likely brand new to her.
Bonnie is dog friendly and would likely do best in a calm, patient home that will continue helping her build trust and confidence at her own pace. She has not yet been tested with cats or children.
She may need some extra patience and TLC at first, but Bonnie is a wonderful young dog who is absolutely worth the time and love.

5.) Home Visit: After the adoption process, we conduct a home visit either in person or via Zoom meeting to ensure that everything is going well with the transition and to answer any final questions you may have.
6.) Neuter/spay for puppies: for dogs who are not fixed at the time of adoption, we will reimburse for the procedure once we receive proof of spay/neuter.
