Meet Bonnie.
Bonnie was an owner surrender to the county shelter with a horrible mange infection. This poor girl’s skin has a terrible odor and is completely raw.
Her hair has fallen out in patches and Bonnie is bleeding from the constant scratching. Bonnie was diagnosed with demodex mange at the shelter; a condition in which mites burrow under the skin causing the symptoms described above and obviously, extreme discomfort for the dog.
The county shelter does not have the time or resources to treat this infection and so Bonnie needed a rescue! We can’t imagine watching any of our own family dogs get to this point and so it breaks our heart that Bonnie’s former “family” not only watched her condition get so bad, but gave up on her in the end.
It makes us wonder what this one year old girl’s life must have been up to now…
Perhaps it’s just as well though, because Bonnie is now safe with the M.A.I.N. family and we will do everything in our power to help her heal and ultimately find her true forever family.

From Bonnie’s foster mom, Dec. 2014: Bonnie is fitting in with her foster crew really well. She loves the big and little dogs. She is getting her baths and meds and I know we will start seeing improvement soon with her mange. She does have ear infections as well as the mange. She is potty trained and crate trained, but she is not crazy about cats. She can’t hurt them but she loves to chase them. She really has a lively personality! She is really a little sweetie and not shy at all.
Bonnie is an amazing girl. She is friendly with everyone she meets dogs and people alike. She is a perfect little girl who rarely barks and loves to be a lap dog. She rides awesome in the car and is crate and potty trained. She will make a wonderful addition to any family.
