PET OF THE WEEK

Bonty, is an adorable male pup with a sweet nature. He loves to play and would like a home that can provide him with regular exercise.

He will need secure fencing, and some more training, but with time, the one-year old Golden Retriever x Kelpie will become an excellent companion.
