Hello World!
We are Josie and Jodie, two 11 month old Bichon/Maltese pups. Our foster parents said to tell you that I, Josie, am a cute bundle of love and playful energy and that Jodie is a sweet and gentle cuddlebug. We weigh about 10.6 and 10.5 pounds respectively now and are almost fully grown – so we won’t be quite as big as most bichons are supposed to be.
I am happy romping around playing with doggie toys or snuggling with Jodie. I also like to try to wrestle with my doggy foster sister. Dad says sometimes it’s a three ring circus at our house. Mom says that Jodie and I like to play with one another and that I’m the “initiator. She says that when we are finished with all that ‘play stuff’, we lie down quietly and take a nap together- happy to have worn off some of our puppy energy!)
Dad says I’m more of the “explorer dog” type – and that the back yard is a perfect place for me to do that. He says that both of us like to hang out in his office while he works (and we snuggle) then we give doggy kisses because both of us LOVE to be with people!) Oh and there is something REALLY cute that we both do! (Well, there are actually LOTS of cute things we do but (drum roll please!) we like to watch dogs on TV! We will sit for minutes on end to watch any dog that happens to be on any channel. We cock our heads and listen for all we are worth (and that’s a lot!) Mom and Dad think that we are super smart, too.
Now for my sister, Jodie…Mom says she is a sweet little angel and that she has the cutest ways about her. If you sit down to read a book or watch TV, Jodie will curl up next to you and stay there forever. Dad says that Jodie has a very sweet and playful spirit – and if you meet her in person, you will fall in love with her big brown eyes and all they communicate. Well, I think she’s pretty cute too but I don’t know that her eyes are more expressive than mine, Come on now, Dad.
When Bichon FurKids found us we were pretty scared, very skinny and were terribly matted as well. We had somehow survived living on the streets- despite how little we are! Now Jodie and I are brave, not scared, and our hair is growing back beautifully (after being shaved quite a bit). We are drinking good water and eating good food! (Mom says no table scraps) and we have a yard to run and sun in and doggy foster siblings to play with if we choose. And we are smart and SO want to please! We mastered the doggy door already and know to go outside to do our ‘business’, then come in and sit nicely for a treat!
Because we are young and have a lot of exciting new things to learn, we need people to teach us. Once we are adopted, Bichon FurKids also wants us to attend doggy obedience class so we can be the bestest little pups in the world.
Our Ideal Home:
- Someone home most of the time
- An active family with kids age 7 or older – other youngish FurKids are ok too!
- A family committed to training and further socializing us
- A consistent and loving environment
- Must have yard and sun to play in
Experience Level:
- Recent experience with a young, active pup a plus
- Previous experience as a doggy parent
- Have had dogs as an adult
We have been through SO much together that we must also be adopted together- so if you are interested in meeting us, please complete our adoption application and we’ll be in touch.
Tail wags and cuddles,
Josie and Jodie
In my previous home (before I became a FurKid) I didn’t get a lot of attention –so I’m making up for it now! I have had lots of interactions with other pups (I don’t care for crazy puppy energy or their sharp teeth though) and some people. (This COVID thing makes it more difficult for me to meet new people but Mom thinks if people go slowly with me I do pretty well.) And once I know you I bond like Super Glue!
My name is Playful Pippi – and I’m a sweet, bouncy and joyful Doodle of two who weighs 24 pounds and comes in a cute package! I have a sweet face to match my spirit and am a long-legged little colt for whom every day is a happy day. Did I mention that I have a curly white coat, big brown eyes and Mom says I always look like I’m smiling. (That’s because life is good!)
I’m housebroken and like to show how smart I am every day! I love to ride in the car, go on walks (walking is my happiest activity of the day!) and play. I’m great with people I know and am getting better at getting to know ‘strangers’. I don’t warm up right away so you will have to be patient with me in the beginning. But once I get to know you, it’s a different story. When Mom or Dad come home, for example, after being away I run up to them and bounce like a bunny, filled with excitement, then fling myself at them in wild abandon and wag my tail (which looks kind of like a bunny tail.) I’m just bursting with happiness!
Our situation is both special and unique. You see, as a senior citizen and a woman of the world, I have been enjoying the sunshine and fresh air of my foster’s home. This is a first for me as I previously spent my life in a crate having puppies for many years. It appears that I passed my very sweet disposition on to them, as Toni attests. As for me, I’m a very gentle pup who is trusting, loves to be held and be near you. While my hearing is diminished and my eyesight is limited, my little spirit is full of love and light – and thankfulness for my life now.
Then there’s little Toni. (Even though she weighs a bit more than I do at 8 pounds I still think of her as little Toni.) She is eight years old and about 8.8 pounds. Toni is a beautiful little girl that wants to be your best friend. She’s into human touch and being with her people. Toni will follow you around the house and want to sit on your lap to just feel warm and loved. Because Toni’s very friendly and excellent with people, she loves to go wherever you go including riding in the car. Toni likes to look out the window; if she could sit on the lap of a passenger she would sleep there all day.
My name is Sporty and I’m a cute, sensitive and snuggly little Maltese boy that you might call a “portable pal”. I LOVE to go on walks and rides in the car – and, at 10 pounds, you can take me just about anywhere!
Dad says I’m mellow, friendly with both two and four-legged “creatures” alike (including cats) and easy to get along with. He says I really seem to love children (!) and wag my tail excitedly when I see them. Dad also says I’ve mastered the command “Be Cute!” to perfection —100% of the time!
