Hello World!

My name is Joyous Joey and I’m a cute little guy who is about 1 ½ years old and simply adorable. Now I’m not bragging but everyone that meets me says I’m a ‘cutie patootie’. I’m not exactly sure what that means but my foster Mom says I’m ‘adorbs’ and that everything I do is adorable!

Mom says I’m 15 pounds of fun – and so happy that I smile – and wag my tail – all the time (except when I’m lying in your arms and cuddling!) I’m a master at the Bichon Buzz or Bichon Blitz or Zoomies. Regardless of what you call it, you will enjoy seeing me in action!

Besides being charming, kind, cuddly, delightful and happy, I’m also obedient, playful and want to please! Sound good? Then please read on! Mom says that I’m equal parts sweet and shy, a darling little guy who just wants to be around you- in your lap, by your side, next to you in bed, on a car ride. As long as I’m with you, I’m fine. Did I mention that I LOVE the car?
Aside from literally looking like a little teddy bear (seriously, if I say, Tom Holland were a dog, it would be me!), my best quality is that I’m just a great little friend. (And I promise I’ll be the bestest companion to some lucky person or couple!)

While I am shy at first when you meet me at my home, I’m much more comfortable meeting people outside. I’m finding out that there are lots of pretty special human beings in this world that I can like and who like me! I’m learning that love and attention are good things! Mom is helping me become more comfortable with new people – and I’m definitely getting more comfortable. And did I mention that ONCE I TRUST YOU I’M IN LOVE FOR LIFE? Oh! and I’ve discovered that ear scratches and belly rubs are pretty neat! So sign me up for more of them, please!

Mom calls me “Super Glue” because I bonded with her in about two seconds. She says I’m a happy, sweet, and social little love bug who likes the other dogs in our home AND the cats too!. So you will not be surprised to know that I like to play, go for walks and participate in all that life has to offer!

Did I mention that I’m housebroken (no typo there) and am also learning commands! Why I already come when I’m called (that’s more than some of my bichon cousins do!) and I’m learning “sit.”

So if you are looking for a darling pup, with lots of promise, are willing to continue my training (I want to become the best little guy that I can be), are active, home most of the time and like to do lots of things, I’m applying to be your new best friend.

My Ideal Home:
– People who are home most of the time but also active
– Adopters willing to continue my training
– Prefer a single person or couple – no children please
– Another FurKid or two is required- and kitties are ok too!

Experience level:
– Recent/current experience
– Rescue experience a plus!

So if I sound like a pup you’d like to meet, please complete our adoption application. Mom says to tell you that there’s something incredibly special about me–almost like I know what you’re thinking – and that you couldn’t ask for a better companion.

Snuggles and Cuddles,

Joyous and Jaunty Joey

Noodles (Foster Needed)

by

Please meet Noodles. He’s a one year old, 11 pound bichon boy who was found by a good Samaritan, Of course he was not chipped nor did he have a collar or tag.

After posting his information, walking the neighborhood etc. the Finder contacted BFK to surrender Noodles whom he named. (Surgery for the gentleman next week and a 2 month recovery was the reason for the surrender!) Noodles was neutered today and is now recovering. We expect him to feel like himself within a day or two.

Noodles does well with kids (he has been around children from 8-13) and the resident dog who is a pitbull. He loves to play, wants to learn ‘Ferch, is curious, funny and energetic. Noodles needs training and responds well to commands and direction.

We are looking for someone to foster-to-adopt this little guy – and need to place him by next Wednesday.

If you are looking for a little cutie, have another preferably small dog for him to play with, and are willing to open your heart and home, please email marti@bichonfurkids.org or text her at 760-525-5556 ASAP.

Benji

Benji Must Have:

— Someone home most of the time
— Another active, playful small dog around my age
— A pup who can show me the ropes
— Adults or a family with older kids as I’m so small

Experience Level:
— Have had dogs as an adult
— Recent/current dog experience a plus
— Rescue dog experience

Hi People,

My name is Blissful Benji and I’m a cuddly, cute, comical and clever little guy who is easy to fall in love with. My foster Mom and Dad say I’m almost perfect. I’m about a year old, weigh only 7.4 pounds and my BFK Aunties think I’m a ‘Morkie’ (a Maltese/Yorkie mix.)

I’m very, very puppy-like. That means I’m curious, lovable and playful! Mom says I do what she calls my ‘morning shenanigans.’ If you wonder what that looks like well, I’m known to grab a toy and toss it around the house followed by doing the Zoomies. There is no doubt that I’m as cute as I can be and every bit an energetic pup.

Dad says I’m quite adventurous and consistently demonstrate my puppy spirit. He says if I’m quiet, you’d better see what I’m up to! Did I mention that I love shoes and socks! I like to ‘find’ them and bring them to my play area.

I’m learning about walks (I’m working up to longer walks to build my confidence) and rides in the car (I’m a great co-pilot). I am also learning commands (I already know ‘sit’, ‘come’ and my name), and am almost housebroken. I like other dogs but my doggy foster brothers are older so they are not captivated with my puppy energy. I’m thinking another pup closer in age and size might be a good fit for me.

Most of all I’m playful (did I mention that?), learning the joy of toys, am a total cuddlebug and lap dog. Did I mention that I’m a pup who loves to play, rarely barks and likes to have people give me pets and belly rubs? That’s the kind of pup I am!

My Ideal Home:
* Someone home most of the time
* Another active, playful small dog around my age
* A pup who can show me the ropes
* Adults or a family with older kids as I’m so small

Experience level:
* Have had dogs as an adult
* Recent/current dog experience a plus

After a day of playing, exploring, walking and learning new things, I settle down in the Big People’s Bed and sleep quietly all through the night. I’m just that good! So if I sound like your kind of pup, I’m applying for the job. I hope we can meet and I’ll show you how special I am!

Cuddles and wags,

Buoyant, Bright and Brimming (with love) Benji

Hi New Friends!

My name is Zesty and Zany Zippy and I’m a perfect boy, a Bichon mixed with pure cuteness. Everyone who meets me says I’m adorable, loving and mellow. And that’s before they get to know more about me! On that note, I’m ten years young, weigh 12 pounds, have the most soulful eyes and short little legs. I am as affectionate as I can be, make new friends wherever I go and LOVE to go on rides and have adventures!

In my foster home I have many doggy ‘siblings’. Most are small like me but there’s a big one too. I’m not quite sure about him but he has this great big cushy bed so (drum roll please) when the bedroom door opens up I make a mad rush for the big cushy bed and claim it for the night. I smile like the cute boy I am when I have commandeered the BIG bed!

Did I mention that I’m housebroken AND know how to use the doggy door, never bark at strangers, am friendly and intuitive? I seem to know what people want and am happy to give that to them. And they are pretty intuitive too because when I roll over on my back they know I’m waiting for my favorite: a belly rub! Mom says that when she gives me a belly rub it tickles me and makes me scratch my back leg. She says that’s funny and very cute too! She loves how soft my hair is too!

I also like to go on short walks and LOVE rides in the car ! I really missed that a lot. You see my ‘original mom’ had couldn’t do those things with me any more- but knew I needed to be in a home where I could still do the things we used to do together. So I became a FurKid and now I get to do all those things again! Lucky me!

My Ideal Home:
* Someone home most of the time
* Another dog around my age
* Adults or a family

Experience level:
* Have had dogs as an adult
* Recent/current dog experience a plus
* Rescue dog experience

Mom says I’m an ‘easy peasy’ kind of pup. She means that I’m a calm, sweet boy who just likes being in your presence. Give me a comfy, cushy bed to lie in and I’m in heaven. OH and belly rubs and scratching my neck too please!

One more thing I almost forgot to mention – and that is I am SMART! Mom’s house has an iron fence to divide the side yard where the doggy door is. Well, I studied it for a bit then ‘discovered’ I could scoot through rather easily and get to the other side! Mom looked out the window one day and there I was on the ‘wrong’ side while my doggy foster brothers stood there wondering how I did that. That’s when Mom knew how very smart I am!

(By the way my foster brothers have still never figured that out!)

What I really need now is a forever family to call my own. Will you be the one for me? If you think you are, please complete our application so we can meet soon.

Missy

Missy must have:

— Someone who is home most of the time
— Another active, playful dog around my age
— Another dog to show me the ropes
— A family would be great!

Experience Level:

— Have had dogs as an adult
— Recent/current dog experience a plus
— Rescue dog experience

Hello World,

My name is Missy and I’m a beautiful, sweet and friendly Bichon girl of about two or three (years, that is!) who is loving, playful, inquisitive — and besides all that, happy, funny and want to please. I’m a prancer with long legs who loves everyone – big people, little people and other animals ! All this – and I weigh 10 or 11 pounds. (Because good things come in small packages, I guess you’d say I’m the best little package you’ll ever meet!)

Mom says that I’m as cute as can be, from my big, brown, expressive eyes to my always wagging tail. My hair is soft, white and growing in (I am now getting good nutrition and thriving on it) – and soon I will look like the beautiful bichon I was meant to be! I’m very loving and, in fact, wrap my paws around your neck and snuggle happily when you pick me up. Mom says to tell you that I give amazing hugs (that’s what she calls them) and that I’m an absolute jewel! (I think she likes me, don’t you?)

Dad says I have never met a person I didn’t like – and I’m very energetic. I like to play, love to chase my doggy foster brother and sister, throw our toys and get them and play, play, play. There is no doubt that we have the bestest of times running around the yard and playing with each other.

 

My Ideal Home:
* Someone home most of the time
* Another active, playful dog around my age
* Another dog to show me the ropes
* A family would be great!

Experience level:
* Have had dogs as an adult
* Recent/current dog experience a plus
* Rescue dog experience

I also LOVE to go on walks (short or long walks, I love them all!), am housebroken (no typo there) and loyal. Mom says I’m her little shadow and am happy to go wherever she goes. She says that I love being with people, am incredibly smart and want to please. Right now I’m learning some basic commands (Ask me to do a ‘shake’ and I’ll show you!) and some tricks. When we meet I’ll show you how well I know my ‘stuff.’

I’m the kind of girl who would do well in any family – and a home with kids and another FurKid or two would be my idea of heaven. If that sounds like you, please complete an application and ask for Missy. I’ll be waiting for you!

Snuggles and love,

Magical, Memorable Missy

Banjo (Adoption Pending)

Banjo Must Have:

— Someone home most of the time
— Another dog around my age
— Adults or a family with older children

Experience Level:

Hi People!

My name is Banjo and I’m an amazingly handsome little Bichon of about three or four. My foster Mom says I’m loving, cute, adorable, a bit of a clown, affectionate and active. I love other dogs, adults, walks and (especially) rides in the car. That makes me an outstanding companion — unless you are a giraffe, a hippo or a tiger. I wouldn’t want to be your companion then. (Mom says I’m being a little silly but she knows what I mean!)

I’m 17 pounds of fun – a little guy who is handsome, friendly and young at heart. Well of course that’s true as I’m a young bichon boy! I’m also a guy who has to make up for lost time. You see before I became a FurKid I had this thing called an ‘accident’. I ran into something called a ‘car’ and it was a LOT bigger than I am. I got hurt and had to spend the last four months healing and getting better. And (drum roll please!) I’m now healed and better! I still shouldn’t do crazy puppy running and jumping yet – but since I’m a cuddlebug and snuggler, that’s not a difficult thing for me to do! In a few months I can do all those silly puppy things once again.

I’m also housebroken (I actually ask to go outside!), crate trained, willing to learn commands and LOVE to explore. Mom says I have a wiggle in my walk – and a bit of a ‘hitch in my giddy-up’ that’s a cute thing to see! I’m also very loyal and sweet and will do well in any home, as long as there is someone to shower attention and affection on me.

My Ideal Home:
* Someone home most of the time
* Another dog around my age
* Adults or a family with older children

Experience level:
* Have had dogs as an adult
* Recent/current dog experience a plus

The only thing that I need right now is a forever family, one with another FurKid. Do I sound like your kind of guy? I’m awfully good at a lot of things and I’m waiting to be yours. So please complete our application and ask for me. I’m waiting to meet you!

Love and snuggles,

Blissful Banjo the Bandit (‘cause I’ll steal your heart)
