Bono is in foster care in Southampton, Hampshire, he arrived in our care on the 12th of November 2025 and he was born on the 2nd of June 2021.

This lad is a super friendly boy who loves to have cuddles.

He is a larger lad but has the sweetest, calmest soul and is so gentle.  Bono has been introduced to a range of other breeds of dog, including puppies and has been very gentle with them.  Well done lad!

Bono enjoys going out for walks, he will trot alongside you and enjoys all that he sees.  He would prefer if it wasn’t raining and isn’t that keen on walking through puddles, for a boy of his size it can be quite funny to see him darting around or over a puddle than get his toes wet!  Bono will though step into a pool but only on his terms of course!

He will greet new people with a waggy tail, a lovely smile and is polite with his manners!  Bono LOVES his food, sometimes a little too much but will take treats gently from your hand, what a lovely boy he is!  This lad never thinks of his waist line and doesn’t have an off switch when it comes to food, he may need a little help from his new owner on this one!

Bono especially enjoys going out for car journeys and will jump in the back of a car with ease, he soon settles down and is very eager the other end to get out and start his new adventure!

He has met many other breeds of dog, he shows them his politeness with his manners and would quite like to play with them, if correct introductions were carried out.  His gorgeous smile never ends and he will greet his doggie friends exactly the same as his human ones – waggy tail, huge smile and polite manners!  Bono can get VERY excited if he sees other dogs playing and having fun, he really just wants to go and play but forgets that he is on the lead!  This can lead to him being a little strong on the lead, however walking on a Canny will take the strength out and give you a pleasurable walk with your new canine friend!

This lad LOVES to play!  He will play with toys, his friends (canine and human), Bono just likes to live life to the full and is always a happy boy!  He would love a huge toy box just for himself, full of lots of different toys that he can play with.

Throw a ball for our large boy and he will continue playing with it, making his own games up.

Bono has the potential to live with another dog of any size, providing introductions are carried out.  He could also be an only dog if he had company for part of the day.  Bono could live with children over the age of 12 years, who know how to treat and respect a pet.  This lad isn’t used to people stroking his tummy and although we think he really likes it, it can make him jump to begin with.  We are working with Bono on this but already he has shown he quite likes it really!

All our volunteers just love our gorgeous Bono, he is really soppy and just wants to be with his human friends enjoying life to the full!

At the end of the day you will find Bono spread out on his bed, snoozing the night away, dreaming of all his adventures and getting ready for the next day.  He is such a sweetie, could he be the dog for you?
