Bonsai’s Story

Life started off kind of scary. My sisters, brothers and I were born under a trailer in the woods. Some nice people found us and took us in. We barely had our eyes open and had to be bottled to help us grow big and strong. We went to a nice lady’s house.  We call her Foster mom and she has been taking good care of us since. 

Let me tell you about myself.  My name is Bonsai.  I am about 11 weeks old.  Foster mom says I’m a lover, because I love to give kisses.   I’m quite the spunky fellow and love to play all the time, even when I’m supposed to be sleeping.  I am a big goof.  I love to hang out with people now matter what they are doing.  I would love a home with a doggie friend.  My foster home has other dogs that live here and I love playing with them.  I have something called an over bite where my bottom jaw didn’t grow as big as my top jaw.  The vet said it’s no big deal.  Later in my life I might need to see a dentist, but foster mom says not worry that my overbite makes me even more adorable. This man called a vet told my foster mom he thinks I am a hound heeler mix.  I have no clue what that means, but foster mom says I’m adorable.  I might grow up to be about 50 lbs. or so.   I’m working really hard on potty training but I still have to keep working at it.  I sleep in my kennel at night.  Would you like to make me part of your family? Just let me foster mom know.  Thanks for reading my story. 

Hope to meet you soon, Love Bonsai
