Animal Information: Lola, Bonnie, and Bonita were found as strays with their mom, a purebred German Shorthaired Pointer, after being abandoned in an orchard in Eastern Washington. Thankfully, our friends at Yakima Valley Pet Rescue stepped in to bring them to safety.

Despite their rough start, these girls are incredibly sweet, affectionate, and have wonderful temperaments. They have soulful, expressive eyes, are smart and eager to learn, and genuinely enjoy connecting with people.

Without a rescue stepping in, they would have received basic veterinary care and then been returned to the area where they were found. We knew they deserved so much more than that.

We're thrilled to welcome these pups into foster care, where they'll have the chance to grow, gain confidence, and prepare for the loving forever homes they deserve here in the Pacific Northwest.

Foster Profile:
Bonita (aka Miss Bonita Pepita) may have had a challenging start to life, but she has learned that there is safety, strength, and comfort to be found in her pack! She approaches new situations and people with gentle caution, and readily looks to those she trusts to reinforce her confidence and model how to move forward. It has been such a joy to watch Bonita's jolly and warm personality begin to shine through her initial uncertainty with indoor life, but her love for stretching out in the sun and exploring a particularly scent-filled patch of foliage tells us that she is going to make a really great hiking and camping companion too!

Bonita is currently wary of unfamiliar dogs but loves romping with her temporary husky mix big brother, so intentional socialization through trusted playmates or with a resident dog sibling would benefit her a lot! She has also been friendly with the four cats in her foster home, and has enjoyed some cuddles and gentle playing with the two who reciprocate her good will. She is crate-trained and has been sleeping through the night without accidents, and is making excellent progress with potty training. She is working on learning basic commands and cooperative care, and the combo of her intelligence and her eagerness to engage with the people around her make her a quick and cheerful student! Bonita

is going to be a big girl, we are looking for a single family home with a securely fenced yard (a playful canine companion would be a bonus). Previous large breed experience is preferred. She will need a family dedicated to training and socializing to help her along. If your looking for your next adventure partner she may be your girl.
