UPDATE - Bonnie has been in kennels for some time now so our volunteers took her away from this environment to re-assess her.  Bonnie was desperate to get into the van and ignored the volunteers when she left her kennel.  On arriving at the walk Bonnie appeared quite anxious and whined to begin with and would not take the offer of treats.  She did settle down after a bit of time.  She is strong on her lead and will need an owner with the strength to control her on a walk.  

Bonnie saw lots of new things on her walk including various farm animals and was not fazed by any of them, simply walking passed them.  She was also very well behaved  when onlead dogs approached her.  She walked happily behind them with out any reaction.

Bonnie needs to see the what is in the big bad world and this will need baby steps and patience in her new home.

****************************************************************

Bonnie is a lovely entire 7yr old girl who happily met the volunteer who was carrying out her assessment.

Bonnie pulls slightly on the lead at the start of the walk but soon settles down, she will ignore most dogs she meets but will react to the small vocal dogs.

Bonnie is not too bothered with treats but does love playing with her ball which could be used as a training tool.

Bonnie lived with several dogs and the dynamics of the pack are not working out well which is causing a lot of stress in the home. The owner knows this is not ideal circumstances for the dogs and has reluctantly decided to split the pack up by rehoming 2 of their dogs, one of which is Bonnie.
