My story

BONNIE — FROM “BROKEN” TO BEAUTIFUL, AND STILL WAITING FOR HER HEROThere are some dogs who come into rescue and break your heart… and then there is Bonnie.She was named in honor of the late Bonnie Tyler, and somehow, the name couldn't be more perfect. Because this little girl has already shown the strength of a survivor—and now, just like the words from Bonnie Tyler’s Holding Out for a Hero… “I need a hero.” At just 3 years old, this darling Shih Tzu mix arrived from the shelter in heartbreaking condition. She was a little mess—severely matted, suffering from an ear infection and parasites, with glazed-looking eyes and wobbly legs. But underneath all of that… was the sweetest little soul.Bonnie never stopped being loving. She never stopped trusting. She never stopped hoping.Bonnie received the very best veterinary care, including a complete exam, bloodwork and fecal testing. She was diagnosed with KCS (chronic dry eye) and will need daily eye drops to keep her eyes comfortable and healthy. Her eye medication costs approximately $1 a day—a tiny investment in keeping those precious eyes bright and happy.She is spayed, vaccinated, licensed and microchipped, and she received a complete beauty makeover from a professional groomer. She will need professional grooming every 8–10 weeks to keep her beautiful coat healthy and comfortable.But Bonnie’s greatest transformation isn't what you can see on the outside.It’s the happy little dog she has revealed herself to be. 🌸 Happy-go-lucky🌸 Calm and gentle🌸 Loves everyone she meets🌸 Good with other small dogs🌸 House trained🌸 Ready to be someone’s beloved companionBonnie has been through so much. She needs a family.A safe home.A soft bed.Someone who will give her those daily eye drops without ever making her feel like a burden.Someone who will keep her beautifully groomed.Someone who will look into those eyes and promise:“You are home. You are safe. You are loved. Forever.”Bonnie is an indoor dog and must have a safely fenced yard where she can enjoy time outside with her family.Maybe her hero isn't coming on a white horse.Maybe her hero is YOU.
