Story
FOREVER HOME NEEDED:
Bonnie is an absolute sweetheart of an 18 lb, Chiweenie (Chihuahua/Dachshund mix) – and she’s at that perfect age (5) where she won’t chew your shoes, but she also loves to go for walks. And did we mention she’s perfectly housetrained? Bonnie was surrendered to a shelter in California, and it’s obvious that she was very loved. She’s incredibly well-adjusted, chill, and happy. She's on the mend from cherry eye removal surgery and is doing great.
Bonnie really loves going for walks! When she knows she’s going for a walk, she does the funniest little spins thanks to her long dachshund body. She's not typically a barker, but when she does speak up, it's to let you know someone's at the door — and her bark is surprisingly deep for such a little body, so consider her a built-in (adorable) alarm system.
Bonnie's super motivated by food, but she LOVES a good game of tug-of-war or fetch. She’s fast too!
She's deeply bonded to her people and doesn't love being left alone. She loves sleeping in bed with her people (if you want your dog to sleep in a crate at night, Bonnie would not be a good match for you). She would do best with family members who are home often, ideally in a standalone house. She gets along beautifully with her two small breed foster brothers, but having another canine sibling isn’t a requirement as long as she gets regular chances to socialize.
Car rides are still a work in progress as she gets anxious but settles down beautifully if she can sit with a human passenger in the car. Her foster family takes her on lots of little car trips to learn that good things happen when she goes for a ride, and she will settle down on her own after a bit.
She'll occasionally surprise you by popping up out of nowhere, running to you and launching herself into your lap but most of the time she just loves chilling with you, enjoying her squeaky toys, and soaking up your company. She's a calm, loving, easy dog who just wants her people close. To play tug-of-war, of course.
Bonnie is up to date on vaccinations, spayed and microchipped. Her adoption fee is $500.
