My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Bonnie is a beautiful 2-year old female Boxer mix who arrived at HSOV on March 6, 2025 after she was picked up on Starlight Drive in Marietta Ohio by a Washington County Ohio Deputy Sheriff and brought to the safety of our shelter. Bonnie was not wearing a collar, and she was not microchipped.

Bonnie has a dark brown/brindle-and-white short smooth coat, a long tail, and an adorable symmetrically-marked face with soulful dark brown eyes, a chubby white muzzle, and semi-erect ears.

This little sweetheart appeared to have a friendly, easygoing personality when we took preliminary photos on the afternoon of March 6th. Bonnie 'sat pretty' for a few pictures before curling up on a soft blanket in her floor crate, but she looked so sad and forlorn ...

We were anxious to take more flattering photos of this little beauty. Thankfully had that opportunity during a late afternoon/dog walk event on March 13th when HSOV Volunteer Kathy Wilhelm was spending time with Bonnie after taking her for a nice leisurely walk. Bonnie looked to Kathy for guidance, and we wish you could have experienced first-hand the love in Bonnie's eyes as she looked up at Kathy. Bonnie was loved by Kathy the first time they met, and Bonnie truly seemed to realize that bond.

Bonnie weighs 49 lbs and could easily gain several pounds to fill out her slim physique. She walked gently on a leash for Kathy that evening.

In compliance with the Ohio Revised Code, Bonnie was held for three days so that her family would have an opportunity to reclaim her with proof of ownership. Since nobody called or came looking for Bonnie, we will have her spayed and find her THE BEST home ever. We have learned that Bonnie's real name is Dreka after someone recognized her photos on Facebook.

Bonnie is available for foster/foster-to-adopt with an approved HSOV Foster/Adoption Application.

Since Bonnie was not reclaimed, she went home with a foster family on April 2, 2025 who plans to adopt her after she is spayed.

Update: Bonnie was returned to HSOV on April 14, 2025 because she was a little too active (jumping on people for attention).

Bonnie was spayed on October 1, 2025 and was also given rabies vaccine.

Bonnie was adopted on October 7, 2025.
