Bonita

American Staffordshire Terrier Terrier (Unknown Type, Medium)

Female, 1 yr 2 mos

Parma, OH

Size

(when grown) Med. 26-60 lbs (12-27 kg)

Details

Story

Meet Bonita, a sweet and silly mixed-breed girl with a heart full of love and about 44 pounds of pure joy. Estimated to be between one and two years old, Bonita was found as a stray and sadly never claimed. But her resilient, happy spirit hasn’t faded — she’s ready to bring her charm and snuggles into a new forever home. Bonita has a medium energy level and absolutely loves going for walks, though she can get a little excited and pull on the leash at times. She’s a total cannonball of affection — playful, goofy, and full of personality. Whether she’s zooming around the yard or rolling over for belly rubs, she’s always living in the moment and soaking up the love. Her love for life is truly contagious. She should be the only dog in the household. Because she can be a bit of a bowling ball when she plays, she’d do best in a home with older children. Bonita is not a match for homes with cats or small furry pets — she prefers her companions to be less... scurry. The great news is that Bonita is already house trained and crate trained, and she’s an absolute pro when it comes to snuggling. She’s available through our Foster to Adopt program, which means she can settle into your home while she completes her remaining vetting, including spay, microchip, heartworm testing, and updated vaccines. If you’re ready to open your heart and home to a dog who’s equal parts joy and affection, Bonita might just be the perfect match. To learn more or to apply, please email dogadoptions@parmashelter.org and complete the online dog adoption application. Her adoption fee is $160.

He’s already neutered and ready to bring stability, devotion, and a whole lot of heart into his forever home.Smokey is available through our foster-to-adopt program, which allows you to welcome him into your home while he completes his veterinary care which includes vaccinations, microchipping, and heartworm testing.
