Bonnie

Fill out an adoption form

Bonnie is a stunning red heeler mix with a big personality and an active spirit. True to her breed, she’s energetic, intelligent, and thrives on both physical and mental stimulation. But when it’s time to relax, she’s just as happy to settle in for some downtime.

Currently, Bonnie is enjoying her stay at Gagnon’s Pet Resort in Colchester, where she participates in daycare with other dogs for at least half the day. She plays with enthusiasm and a bit of rough-and-tumble energy, so she’d love an equally playful companion in her new home. When she’s had her fill of fun, she knows when to take a break and relax in her own space.

Weighing about 45 pounds, Bonnie is crate-trained, potty-trained, and knows basic commands like “sit” and “come here.” She sleeps peacefully in her crate at night and does well when crated during the workday—though she appreciates a midday play session to stretch her legs and burn off energy.

Bonnie walks well on a leash but can be a little protective when encountering new dogs. Once given a chance to interact off-leash, she warms up quickly.

She’s absolutely wonderful with kids—both playful and gentle—and loves being around people.

She is spayed, up-to-date on all vaccinations, and in excellent health. Bonnie is affectionate, loving, and full of joy—ready to bring laughter and companionship to her forever home.

No couch potatoes or someone who works 15 hours a day - an active home (hiking, walking ALOT) where she has a chance to thrive is what this girl needs.

IMPORTANT INFORMATION - 

Paws New England is a foster-based rescue; our dogs reside in various locations throughout the south & New England.  

Adoption donations cover pre-adoption vet costs (including vaccinations, spay/neuter when age appropriate, and heartworm testing/treatment when necessary), a microchip, and transportation to New England if necessary.

Donations for our young, healthy puppies and dogs support their fellow canines of advanced age or suffering from injuries and abuse whose donations are reduced but whose veterinary costs are typically much higher. We appreciate your understanding that your newly adopted dog will help others in need.
