Hello World,
My name is Mollie and I’m a happy, playful, energetic, sweet and curious little Bichon girl of one and a half (years that is) and as friendly as I can be. My foster Mom says I’m 11 pounds of love in a very cute package. Dad says I like everyone I meet (especially him!)
Did I mention that I’m a snuggler. I climb into your lap, look at you with my big brown eyes and cuddle for all I’m worth (and that’s a lot!).
Everything is new and interesting to me! I had never been in a yard or walked on the grass before I became a FurKid ! (Honestly, I never had!) . I had never been taught commands or sniffed flowers or gone for a ride (except to the vet.) Now let me explain about that!
I was born with something with a long name that means I’m incontinent.
One of the ‘lines’ from my kidney to my bladder connects with the bladder in the wrong place. The other line from my kidney does not connect to my bladder at all… instead it connects directly to my urethra, which causes me to dribble a bit.
My previous owners couldn’t take care of me –and weren’t even able to walk me. (We were not a good fit) so they surrendered me to my new BFK family. On Friday I went to see these vets called ‘specialists’. They did all kinds of tests, looked at my ultrasound and said they think that a special kind of surgery can help me to become a better version of myself! They aren’t sure that I can be 100% continent but I’ve already mastered the doggy door and so want to be the carefree and happy little bichon I was meant to be!
This special surgery is very expensive. My BFK family hopes that there might be some amazing people who read about me and want to help me get this surgery. Then, after I have recovered, I can be adopted and able to go to my forever home!
So if you can help in any way I would be so very, very grateful. My Aunties will keep you posted on whether we have raised enough money for my surgery and, if I get to have it, how I’m doing afterward. In the meantime please know that I thank you for loving bichons and please say a prayer for Mollie’s miracle.

Mom says I excel at being lovable! Why I love big people and smaller people and I love with all my heart. I’m really a cuddler. If anyone is sitting on the couch, well I just join them to cuddle and cuddle and cuddle. Mom says I get as close as possible and convince someone to pet me. When they stop, I nuzzle them to keep petting! You see, I’m smart enough to know the joys of being petted! Mom says I get an A++ in cuddles! I tell her, “Mom, I’m just practicing. And I expect to get better every day!”
I’m housebroken (no typo there!), love to run like the wind and sun in the yard! I also like to sit by the back door and let the breeze touch my face. Mom says that I also love all the things that Bichons love – like walks, treats, cuddles, and (drum roll please) I’m also a power lap sitter! I’m also an easy and very loyal little girl. I know some commands and want to learn more as I am very S-M-A-R-T! The thing about me is that sometimes I think I’m a big dog.
* Someone home most of the time
Hello Everyone,
Although he’s a good sport who has weathered all these changes, Riley lost his home! It is our goal to find the loving and stable home environment that he so deserves!
A friend of Marti’s has brought Riley temporarily to her home however she has many senior and hospice dogs. Riley is a bit overwhelmed by all of them as he’s a quiet guy not used to all the commotion. She reached out to find a forever home for this sweet, companionship-oriented ‘chunky monkey’.
Dad says I’m very smart, TOTALLY housebroken (and that’s not typo!) In fact, I go to the door to let him and Mom know I need to go out. And they are taught me about something called a ‘puppy door’ which I mastered in no time! And when it’s night time I go quietly in to my bed and sleep soundly through the night. (If you get up I follow to make sure you’re okay, then settle back in and wait for you to awaken in the morning.)
My Ideal Home:
LOVING (in a very sweet and adoring way) and a very mellow fellow!
Speaking of things I love, I LOVE to play fetch (and tug-of-war) with my stuffed bone. Mom and I created this game that goes like this: Mom throws the bone and I run to get it. THEN (drum roll please) I bring it back to her (That’s the amazing part!) so she can throw it again! It’s really a great game and we both really, really enjoy it! Want to play with me too?
My Ideal Home:
Unfortunately international business travel for weeks and longer at a time have made it necessary for Charlie to spend too much time at a doggy hotel and the family has a month-long trip coming up on the first of July. Although he’s a good sport at the doggy hotel, we (and they) want Charlie to have a stable home environment without all the time away.
Charlie loves to play hide-and-seek, loves his walks, enjoys the companionship of people and other dogs – and is a lively little guy who is also very patient with young children. Charlie is in excellent health, housetrained, sleeps quietly in his crate — and is a friendly and loving pup.
Charlie’s family wants him to have the kind of life going forward that he has enjoyed in the past and as a cherished family member. They have reached out to Marti to find a forever home. In our desire to minimize further transitions, we are looking for a couple or family, possibly with another smallish bichon or similar, who will foster Charlie with the intention of fostering-to-adopt him. In order to do that, BFK needs two completed applications: a foster and an adoption application.
