Hello Everyone!
We are Tori and Toni, a very special bonded pair. I, Tori, am Toni’s grandmother and she is my darling little grandbaby. We have been through an awful lot together and we are very lucky to now be FurKids.
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.
Now I’m not bragging but Toni knows her name and listens well. She comes when she’s called because she’s extremely agreeable. We both have a special food that we eat that has helped us to gain weight (we needed to desperately) and become stronger. We get to walk in the yard, bathe in the sun and take all the cuddles we can get. (I also give our foster Dad gentle kisses when he holds me because I know how much happier my life is now.)
Our Ideal Home:
- Someone home most of the time
- A nice yard to walk and sun in
- Adults or a family with respectful children (since we are so little!)
Experience Level:
- Have had dogs as an adult
- Recent/current dog experience
- Rescue dog experience a plus
So if you are a unique home and are looking for two little munchkins who are cuddly, small, gentle, companions who are grateful every day that this chapter of their life is filled with love and wonder, please ask for us. And remember, we must be adopted together.
Tail wags and love,
Tori and Toni: Treasured, Trusting and Thankful FurKids
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!
My name is Coco and I’m quite a handsome bichon guy. I’m very smart, cute, confident, playful and housebroken (and that is not a typo!) I’m an independent six year old guy who LOVES his walks, rides in the car and playing in the yard.
Because I’m so smart (and because my previous owner was quite old and didn’t train me) I decided that I would be in charge! I’ve been told that’s not a good idea. I’m learning that I don’t need to be in charge and am working with a wonderful trainer who is showing me that there are “better behaviors.” I will need someone to continue that in my forever home. Please note that I do REALLY well with a daily routine and structure!
My name is Romeo and I’m a gentle and loving senior bichon with quite a story to tell! So let’s get started!
A few weeks after we were rescued by our kind BFK Aunties, Juliette gave birth to three boys and a little girl. She was a great Mom and everyone thrived. My foster Mom even made sure that I got to eat and put some weight on as she assured me that there was enough food for all of us.
Then last month something happened. Aunt Marti got a call from a microchip company that said I had been found wandering on a busy street in Fallbrook. I had no collar or tag on – but I was chipped to BFK. To make a long story shorter, my microchip had not been registered to my adopter (and that’s not a good thing!) but Aunt Marti was able to research her information and call her home number. A lady (her adult daughter) answered and said my owner and former Mom had had a stroke in July and was now home – but no one seemed to know that I had wandered off and was missing. What makes my story even more horrifying is that I am pretty blind and my hearing isn’t very good – (but my ‘sniffer’ works just fine.) I somehow survived for days eating grass and even twigs – anything to keep going. And I avoided cars and coyotes which is equally astounding! My former Mom has other FurKids so she doesn’t want me — and her daughter doesn’t even know what happened with Juliette (but thought she may have been ‘captured’ by a coyote. That broke my heart!!)
As for my brother Donny, Mom says he is a sweet and shy guy whose personality is just now starting to ‘emerge’ and who has the cutest ways about him. Donny is curious about everything and is a first class ‘observer.’ (Mom says he likes to carefully watch the world around him.) He makes great eye contact, has the softest coat you will ever, ever want to pet, is super gentle and loyal with a capital L! Whatever I do, Donny wants to also do. While he is still more shy, with a little bit of coaxing Donny is becoming more brave and confident every day.
Now you’ve probably figured out that we’re both good about the snuggling part. We love to be cuddled separately of course, and to also snuggle with each other. We don’t understand why, other than feeding us, Mom and Dad would want to do anything else!
