KNOWN WITH DOGS: Bonnie Bell is a playful, exuberant puppy who loves wrestling and chasing with other dogs who understand that she is still growing and learning.

KNOWN WITH CATS: Bonnie Bell has wanted to play with adult cats in a foster home and will chase them attempting to do so. She's still working on her puppy teething and is working on appropriate mouthiness with her feline friends.

KNOWN WITH KIDS: She loves all humans, including the younger ones. As an adolescent, she can sometimes be exuberant and occasionally mouthy in her play but is easily redirected. She's lived with children in her foster homes.

on walks. She is sleeping soundly, knows her name, and comes when called.

KNOWN HOUSEBREAKING AND/OR CRATING: She will whine a bit when left in her crate but then settles down – chew toys keep her very occupied. She is also housebroken.

KNOWN LIKES: Playtime, cuddling, sunshine, treats, positive reinforcement.

KNOWN DISLIKES: None know at this time.

ABOUT THIS ANIMAL: Sweet Bonnie Bell came to us from a rural partner shelter in Wise County, having been neglected and longing for love. She is now ready to be a full member of a family and would love an active, playful home. She can be an only dog or would love a playmate. She is VERY friendly and active and playful, and likes getting in several long walks a day. She's also great in the car. Her amazing foster has spoiled her with lots of toys that can go with her – we LOVE spoiling this girl.

Bonnie Bell was spayed during her stay at Homeward Trails and treated for "cherry eye" in both eyes.

Fun fact: Bonnie loves to chew on ice cubes.
