Meet Bonnie

Bonnie first came to Thornberry as a puppy. She has always had limited vision, but this has never stopped her from enjoying life, exploring the world around her or having fun! Sadly, through no fault of her own, Bonnie has found herself back in our care and is now desperately searching for a new family to call her own. As a beautiful Lurcher with limited sight, Bonnie will need adopters who understand her needs and are happy to help her navigate the world using her other senses. She would thrive in a calm, predictable home where she can build confidence at her own pace, feel safe and be surrounded by love and understanding. She loves getting out for walks, enjoying playtime and spending time with her favourite people. We feel Bonnie would be best suited to a quiet, pet-free home with teenage children or older. As she cannot always see people or animals approaching, she can be startled if caught off guard, so a household that understands the importance of approaching her gently and letting her know they are nearby is essential. Although Bonnie can make friends with other animals, introductions need to be slow and carefully managed. For this reason, we believe she would be happiest as the only pet in the home, where she can relax and feel secure. She is house trained, can be left for several hours a day and travels well in the car.

The adoption process

Application
If you see an animal on our website that you are interested in adopting, you should fill out an Animal Enquiry form. This gives us more details about yourself and your lifestyle to make sure you are a good match for each other. If we get multiple requests for one animal, we will consider them all and choose the most suitable home to match it to a new owner. This will allow everyone interested a fair chance of adopting it
First meeting
If your application is successful, we will invite you for a first meeting. Here, you and the animal will meet each other and see how you get along. Following on from this, there may be more meetings and you can introduce other pets as required.
Home checks
Home checks are required for every dog before we set the adoption date. This was done physically pre-Covid but we now ask for videos and photos. We need to be sure the home environment is suitable for that dog and the garden is secure. If dogs/rabbits are going to live with other dogs/rabbits, we will arrange an introduction as previously mentioned.
Keep in touch
Every adoption is as unique as each animal. Please remember although sometimes it might seem like a lengthy process, we are doing this to make sure each animal is found the right home for their lifetime.
