Shasta - March 2020 - Dog of the Month

Congratulations to Shasta, our March 2020 Dog of the Month!

Shasta is a Siberian Husky/Greyhound and was born 11/19/08. She is a second chance dog from the Oregon Humane Society, and was adopted when she was 11 months and one week old. At first, she was a handful: would not tolerate being left alone, tried to escape, couldn't be kenneled, and was not house trained. Her parents took her to obedience school and worked diligently with her issues.

When she was a year old, she started at No Bonz. She loved it! She was always respectful of the other dogs and followed the commands at day care because of her high intelligence.

Her bed is right in front of the livingroom window, and the neighbors call her the "neighborhood watchdog." She loves long walks, snow, playing with her purple kong, and supper with special meat items. Her dislikes are upsets in the daily routine and riding in the car especially in an unfamiliar route.

“She is the Queen, and we are at her beck and call”, say her parents. “We are proud that she is the Dog of the Month. She is the leading candidate for Dog of the Year!” We don’t disagree here at No Bonz!

Charlie - February 2020 - Dog of the Month

Congratulations to Charlie, our February Dog of the Month!

Charlie entered this world with his 7 brothers and sisters on Valentine’s Day, February 14, 2019. His mama was rescued from a hoarder situation in Washington and gave birth to her babies in the care of a foster family in Portland, who nurtured them until they were ready for adoption. Charlie (formerly known as “Dwight”) is a shepherd, lab and terrier mix. He met his adopted family at 6 weeks while romping around in the backyard with his litter. He stood out as a curious, gentle, and independent little guy and had the cutest eyes and markings around his face, not to mention a very sweet disposition! Ida, Wes, Zach and Robin (his owners) fell in love and by the end of the playdate were well on their way to welcoming him into their family. He still gets to play with three of his siblings who were adopted within the human circle of friends. 

As the dogs at No Bonz can attest, Charlie brings his playful spirit to anyone he encounters. He is sweet and social, and respectful (mostly) of the wishes of others around personal space -- so long as you let him know with a snarl or an ‘uh-oh’ that he needs to chill. Mostly he loves to be with his humans snuggling on couches and beds, running Forest Park trails, or playing with his buddies at No Bonz. 

Abby - January 2020 - Dog of the Month

Congratulations to Abby, our January 2020 Dog of the Month! You have been such a sweet, snuggly, wonderful packmate at No Bonz and we love you!

And now a word from Abby’s momma!

“Abby came to us via the second chance program through the Oregon Humane society from Fresno. Abby has been with us since the fall of 2015, and quickly has become the center of our little family. 

Abby is 5/8th German Shepherd, and 1/8th Lab, Weimaraner, and Shar-Pei! 

She loves to play with her moose baby, herd her cat brother porter (who she loves very much even if she doesn’t want to admit it at times), chase squirrels, and eat peanut butter. Abby also loves to play fetch because #ballislife. She loves her people (especially her auntie Maria) and is incredibly loyal, loving, quirky, and just the derpiest doggo. We are so fortunate to be her parents!” 

Jasper - December 2019 - Dog of the Month

Congratulations to Jasper, our December 2019 Dog of the Month!

Jasper was born in Lebanon, OR and came home with his mom at 8 weeks old. He was 15 pounds of paws and rolls, but grew very quickly into the ~100 lb love sack he is now! Jasper enjoys enthusiastically befriending inanimate objects, prancing around with large sticks (read: small logs), and loving on hoomans. He may pose regally for photos but in his heart he’s a goober who will do anything to make you laugh!
