About This Dog for Adoption

Bonzo's ideal home

Say hello to Bonzo! Bonzo is a beautiful pup who has won the hearts of many staff here at the centre. He is a sweet natured, friendly boy who is happy to greet new people when out and about. Bonzo is friendly with other dogs, but doesn't really understand manners just yet so will need a little bit of guidance with socialisation from his new family. He could share his home with another dog as long as they will be understanding while he's learning. He would be equally happy as the only dog in his new home too. As we have no history on his life before arriving at Dogs Trust, we do believe Bonzo may need a refresher with his housetraining. A large, enclosed garden space will be a great help with this and give him somewhere to burn his puppy energy! Bonzo really loves his people and would benefit from company during the day to help him settle in, leaving time could be built gradually afterwards. Bonzo could share his home with dog-savvy children aged 10+ who are confident around bouncy, playful puppies and understand when Bonzo may need a bit more space.

Could you be Bonzo's perfect match?

Bonzo is a beautiful 8 month old Collie crossbreed on the lookout for his forever home! True to his breed, he is an intelligent boy who enjoys learning new things - especially when he is rewarded with a tasty treat! Bonzo also enjoys fun enrichment games to get his brain working. He always brings a smile to our faces with his goofy, affectionate personality and we believe he will thrive in an active home who will take him for daily walks and adventures! If you think you have space in your home for this beautiful boy, follow the steps below to submit an application and don't forget to "favourite" Bonzo!
