Important Note
Most of our dogs are in foster care in Southern California. Applicants located outside this area must be willing to come to Southern California to meet and adopt our dogs. When we have dogs in Northern California or Arizona, they are listed as such in our Available Dogs page. In addition, all of our volunteers give unselfishly of their time. Since your adoption process will involve several of us, please let us know if you are working with another rescue group. We are happy to work with adoption candidates - and give priority to those who are not working with other rescue groups.

Terms and Conditions*
I am at least twenty-one (21) years old and wanting to adopt a dog. I understand, that this Bichon Frise or Bichon mix, must be an indoor pet. This dog will be an inside dog and not be left unattended outside. I further understand, if for any reason that this adoption does not work out, I will return the dog to Bichon Furkids (BFK). I understand the tax deductible adoption fees are $500 for puppies under one year, $350 for a dog over a year old, and that senior dogs (over 10 years) may have a lower adoption fee. I further understand that once I have adopted a Furkid I will be notified of all BFK activities and events. (You may opt out at any time.)
