Story
Please contact Maddy Karon (maddyk@luckydoganimalrescue.org) for more information about this pet.sweeter than the dessert morsel! BON BON NEEDS A FOREVER HOME!!!! Name: Bon Bon Best Guess for Breed: Boxer and terrier mix Best Guess for Age: 4 years as of March 2026 SEX: Female Approximate Weight: 57 lbs Gets Along With: Other dogs! We haven't seen her with cats or kids but we are happy to discuss integration techniques with any potential adopters! Currently Living at: DC area foster home Special adoption considerations: Bon Bon is a truly Lucky Dog. She tested positive for heartworms, but landed in a place where heartworm treatment is provided! Heartworm is not contagious to people or other pets, but results from mosquito bites. Heartworm, if left untreated, is life threatening, but after treatment, dogs that were heartworm positive should suffer no significant long-term effects so long as they are kept on a monthly heartworm preventative. Heartworm dogs can resume full active and normal lives, but need to be kept calm for 4-6 weeks after treatment. We are happy to discuss where in the treatment process this Lucky Dog is in right now! Just email the adoption coordinator - the address is at lower left! Bon Bon is Looking For: Her forever home! This sweet girl landed in the shelter through no fault of her own. At about four years old, she's past her puppy days - and is in her prime as an adult dog. She's up for adventure - she's eager for sniffy walks and romps and world exploration with her humans! A cushy dog bed, quality kibble, and lots of snuggles round out her wish list. But most of all she wants to know where she belongs, that she's safe and loved. What do you say? Do you have space in your home and your heart for Bon Bon? What My Foster Says About Me: Bon Bon is so easy going. With us, she appeared to be crate trained and potty trained. She is the sweetest girl to everyone she meets. She loves to cuddle and is a huge lap dog. With other dogs, Bon Bon is incredibly gentle. She appreciates dogs who can also be gentle and chill, but would be fine with more energetic dogs after a slower introduction. She is a foster that'll settle in right away and appreciates all the little things. Although she is big, she is dog/people neutral and doesn't seem to bark so she would do great in an apartment. Another volunteer added this: She is so sweet! She has a calm demeanor and everyone that meets her has mentioned that. She is also calm around puppies and children! She definitely appears potty trained. She is a strong puller on the leash but with a proper harness, it worked like magic! Also to mention she has no issues with reactivity, appears very loyal, and probably will be easier to train! Bonbon is a sweet and calm dog. There are many noises in DC but she handled it pretty well! She is a very strong puller but as the walk progressed, the pulling lessened. She wasnt jumpy and did well following direction. She has a very calming presence. Lucky Dog cannot guarantee any dog is housebroken. All of our dogs are working on their crate training. TO ADOPT: The adoption fee for this dog is $475, which includes the cost of routine vetting, including vaccinations, spay/neuter, and heartworm treatment.
