ARF adoption stars Bono and Bonsai are looking for homes

CONTRA COSTA COUNTY, CA (Oct. 12, 2021) — Looking for a furry friend during this trying time? Good news — ARF now offers a by-appointment adoption process. If you see an animal that interests you on our website, just fill out an online inquiry form. Once ARF receives your inquiry, they will add you to a virtual adoption queue.

Bono: One-and-a-half-year-old Bono is a large strikingly handsome man with a lovable, affectionate side. Meeting new people, children, and other dogs are three of his favorite things, followed closely by running, playing, soaking up belly rubs, and being brushed. Bono would love to find a home where he can hit the road for daily hikes but he is also looking for a patient adopter who can take the time to help him learn the ins and outs of chilling and relaxing when he is home alone. Bono has a positive history with other dogs and currently weighs 63 pounds.

ARF adoption fees: $250 for an adult dog, $350 for a puppy (<6 months), $125 for a special-needs dog, $175 for a special-needs puppy (<6 months), and $125 for a senior dog (7+ years).

Bonsai

Eight-year-old Bonsai might be a tad bit slow to warm up in a new environment. However, once he feels safe, he is an affectionate guy who loves pets. He’ll follow you around the house, chirping with delight and rub up against you. He’s also quite playful – his current favorite toy is a ball. Plus, Bonsai’s adoption fee has been prepaid by a generous donor.

ARF Adoption fees: $100 for an adult cat, $150 for a kitten (<6 months), $150 for two adult cats, $250 for two kittens, $50 for a special-needs cat, $75 for a special-needs kitten (<6 months), and $50 for a senior cat (7+ years).

Meet your forever friend at Tony La Russa’s Animal Rescue Foundation, 2890 Mitchell Drive, Walnut Creek. Adoption hours: noon to 6 p.m Wed. and Thurs., noon to 7 p.m. Fri. and noon-6 p.m. Sat. and Sun.
