PetLifeRadio.com - Take Me Home - Episode 98 Bonita - This Quirky Fun-Loving Dog Will Add Joy to Your Life

Susan Daffron talks to Kathy Akopov from PAWS Atlanta in Georgia about an American Staffordshire mix named Bonita. When she was three years old, Bonita was found roaming as a stray and taken to the shelter. She was in bad shape and almost furless, but the staff knew there was a beautiful dog underneath, so they named her "Bonita." She has been at PAWS Atlanta for 5 years now and grown into a hilarious, fun-loving girl. Bonita is housebroken, crate trained, and knows some basic commands. She gets along well with most other dogs and enjoys eating fruit. Kathy says that watching Bonita eat a banana is hilarious! Bonita has her own special dinnertime dance complete with spins in the air, which you can see in her video on the PAWS Atlanta Web site.

Among her other fun, quirky behaviors, she also snorts like a pig when exploring and "smothers" you to get attention. She also snores with the best of them and even prances like a show dog. As you can tell, Bonita has a big personality and although she does love to run and play with her toys, she also settles down and is happy to just hang out. No one at PAWS Atlanta can figure out why this wonderful dog has been overlooked for so long. Bonita is energetic, funny, and adds joy to your life whenever you're in her company. PAWS Atlanta is doing a special "Home for the Holidays" promotion for long-term residents like Bonita and are offering 50% off her adoption fee through December 31, 2011. Give this sweet dog the ultimate holiday gift: a forever home!
