Henry!
March 4, 2013Do you remember cute-as-a-button Donovan? He is a Plott Hound/Lab mix pup. He was the spunky little puppy that was found St. Patrick’s Day 2012 at only 4-5 weeks of age snuggled up to his momma who had been struck and killed by a car. This little guy is a survivor!
Bonnie Blue Rescue brought this little guy into the rescue and found him a wonderful home in May of 2012 in Connecticut after a couple months in foster care.
His new family named him Henry and we thought he had found his happily ever after.
Through no fault of his own, Henry, has found himself back with Bonnie Blue Rescue. He needs a new, loving home to call his own. He is a high energy, but incredibly loving teenager. Henry needs an active family that can set consistent boundaries as he is a punk (but a cute punk!) that tries to push the rules to get his way. With some continuous reinforcement he is going to be a great dog! He just needs someone that can give him all the love he so clearly deserves.
Please send Bonnie Blue Rescue a quick email at bonniebluerescue@gmail.com if you are interested in fostering or adopting this hunk of love! Click here to apply to adopt Henry!

Barnaby Jones
February 1, 2013Meet the coolest pup on petfinder!
We can’t say enough good things about this Barnaby Jones…he has an amazing personality and is just the cutest thing! His foster mom describes him as “perfect”.
Barnaby came in to a high kill pround in Louisiana as a stray. No owner came forward to claim him but his charm secured him a cherished spot in the adoptable section for a few weeks. This quiet and easy going guy kept being overlooked at the shelter because of his size (not big but not small) and coloring (dark). Sadly his time ran out at the pound but Barnaby was saved thanks to a great relationship between PAWS of NE LA (a local group who helps dogs at their area pound) and Bonnie Blue Rescue.
Unfortunately, Barnaby Jones has also been being overlooked in rescue and has been in foster care for for almost a year without finding his perfect forever family. :( We just can’t understand why and would love to see B in a home for Valentine’s Day!
Barnaby is approximately 2.5 years old and 30#. He has the size of a Basset but the coloring and haircoat of an Airedale….we don’t know for sure what his mix is but we know he is wonderful!
Barnaby is neutered, heartworm negative and on prevention, current on vaccinations and ready to go to his forever home today! He is fostered with kids and other dogs and loves the attention of both. Here is a video of the happy fella the day he was bailed out of the the pound -http://youtu.be/QVNLNx_XcZ4.

Panda Pup
January 31, 2013Panda pup says hi!
This cutie has looks and personality…all he needs now is a loving forever home!!
Panda was brought into a high kill pound in Louisiana as a stray. No owners came to claim him and his time soon ran out at the busy shelter. Thankfully a LA group that works with Bonnie Blue Rescue was able to rescue Panda and he is now safe and thriving in foster care.
Panda is approximately 1 year old and fully grown at 40#.
We think he is a border collie mix – he is uber smart and willing to please.
Panda is nervous of some men at first but warms up to them if they go slow with introductions and let him know they are one of the good guys.
We don’t think little Panda was treated very kindly in his past but his foster mom is working extra hard to show him that his future brings good things!
Panda is good with kids, cats and other dogs.
He is a medium energy dog and loves going for walks. He also enjoys cars rides and cuddling!
Panda is quickly learning about potty training and is doing well. We expect a bright future for handsome Panda and would love for him to start 2013 off with his forever family…he certainly deserves it!
For more information on ADOPTING Panda, please email us at bonniebluerescue@gmail.com.
Noel
January 31, 2013Meet miss Noel!
This pretty, young Lab girl was brought into a Louisiana shelter as a stray. After no owner claimed her during her 7 day stray hold she found herself on the euthanasia list for no reason other than being Black Lab in a shelter with an abundance of Labs. 
Lucky for Noel, she was rescued by a Louisiana group that partners with Bonnie Blue Rescue to find amazing northern homes for their special LA pups.
Noel is a star in foster care and her foster mom reports that she gets along so well with the family’s other lab. They cuddle and lick each other and play! Noel is such a little sweetheart.
Noel is good with adults, kids and other dogs. She has not been tested with cats (but we can arrange that, if needed!). Noel is learning her manners and is doing well with potty training, crate training and walking on leash.
Noel is approximately 11 months old and 44#.
She is spayed, microchipped, current on vaccinations, heartworm negative and current on prevention. Noel would love nothing more than to be in a loving, forever home by Valentine’s Day!
If you are interested in ADOPTING Noel, please email us at bonniebluerescue@gmail.com for more information!
Meet Miss Carbon!
January 30, 2013Say hello to the adorable (and famous) Carbon!
Carbon & her sister Cinder were dumped at a high kill shelter in Louisiana and scheduled for euthanasia after being there less than 24hrs due to overcrowding. Thankfully, Carbon (& Cinder) caught the eye of the PAWS Rescue Coordinator and were some of the luck one’s that day. Carbon is now thriving in foster care.
Carbon is a happy, healthy, well adjusted little Lab mix!! Thanks to a great partnership between PAWS of NE LA and Bonnie Blue Rescue, Carbon is now looking for a loving forever home.
We have no idea what kind of mix Carbon is but we think Labrador for sure. She is a petite pup though so may not grow to full Lab size…we expect her to mature to be a medium sized dog at least.
She has a glossy black coat and beautiful brown eyes. Carbon is approximately 10 weeks old as of January 30th and will be ready to transport home in late February.
Until then her Louisiana foster mom will keep working with her on socialization, potty training, crate training and basic puppy manners. Carbon already knows how to sit and is doing very well with leash training, especially for such a young girl!
While she is eager to please and is doing well with all the training so far, Carbon is a puppy and will have a long way to go so please keep that under consideration. This sweetie needs and deserves a home that will help her grow up to be the best dog she can be!
Carbon is fostered with kids, cats and other dogs and is comfortable in a busy household. This special pup is also a TV star and got to go on a local LA morning show with her foster mom to talk about an upcoming Mardi Gras Pet Parade.
Here is a video of Carbon’s TV debut… http://www.knoe.com/category/178698/video-landing-page?autoStart=true&topVideoCatNo=default&clipId=8212171.
