Cynthia Sassi

Hello New Friends,

My name is Elton John and I’m a colorful and cute little Maltese and Westie mix. I’m four years young and about 11 pounds of adorableness. My foster mom says I’m just about the cutest kid on the block. I exude cuteness. I personify cuteness. I am the epitome of cuteness. That’s what she says. (Can you tell she kind of likes me?)

Mom says that when I first met her I was a little shy and hesitant to approach. Well that changed pretty fast and she got to see the real me: an affectionate, loving, friendly and good-tempered little guy! I’m still shy at first when I meet new people – but then I warm up and can’t resist the opportunity to get a caress or a pat on the head. I also love to sit in her lap and take in all the love in the universe. Mom says I’m a lap magnet – and that when she sits down I melt into her lap!

My BFK Aunties say I’m curious, affectionate and very smart. I mastered the doggy door in no time use it ‘reliably’. (Mom’s doing a really good job so you’ll have to tell her!) And I am hoping to work with my new family to learn commands as I’m a ‘quick study’ who is willing and wants to please. In fact I mastered walking on the leash in no time and I love to ride in the car! Short rides or long rides – I love them all!

I would love to have my own family to share my joy and love, and a doggy brother or sister to learn from and play with. In return, I will do my best to keep everyone smiling and feeling important and loved. (That will be easy for me because whatever family adopts me will be my whole world.

My Ideal Home:
* Someone home most of the time
* Another dog around my age
* Adults or a family
* Kids over age 7

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

So if you are looking for a best friend who will be no trouble, likes to ride, go on walks, play and cuddle, then look no further as I am the dog for the job. Please ask Bichon FurKids to introduce us as I’ll be waiting (and learning new things!)

Tail wags and snuggles,

Engaging, Eager and Entertaining (of course!) Elton John

Hello World!

We are Ollie and Willie, two handsome and happy little guys who are incredibly fun to have around and the best of buddies! We are friendly with everyone we meet, VERY affectionate and incredibly sweet! We have hair, not fur, are probably a mix of bichons and poodles, can be both energetic and calm– and are as loving as any two little guys can possibly be.

We are also very playful pups. We like to play wrestle with each other – and ‘chase.’ Mom says we buzz around the yard as fast as we can with each other and our doggy foster brothers and sister. We like to go for rides in the car (we are very well behaved) and enjoy our walks. Being outside on a leash is new to us and we think it is really neat! We are also learning commands, want to please and are (almost) housebroken.

A little more about us:

I, Willie, am a bit older than Ollie (about three years old) and 17 pounds. Mom’s not sure if I am his older brother or perhaps his Dad – but there’s no doubt that we love and enjoy being with each other! Ollie is about 1½ years old, 12 pounds, playful, outgoing and a bit more social than I. He is eager to learn and to please. Mom says it’s hard not to say that everything Ollie does is cute and adorable! He cocks his head when you talk to him and is so happy whenever he sees anyone or any other FurKid. He runs, and frolics and plays with me, as well as our doggy foster siblings.

I’m known for my sweet personality and nature – and for being gentle as well as playful. I’m also extremely well-mannered and SMART. Mom says I’m a good influence on Ollie and calls me his ‘role model.’ (I’m not sure exactly what that means but I do want to help him be the bestest little guy that he can be!)

We both have gorgeous brown eyes (Mom says mine are soulful!), love to be petted, have our heads scratched and we give lots of doggy kisses. Mom says we are inseparable –and happiest when we can cuddle together. (We even like to touch each other when we are sleeping!) We are most definitely snuggle bunnies!

Our Ideal Home:
* Someone home most of the time
* Companions who like to play and have adventures
* A couple or family willing to continue our training
* A yard to run and sun in

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

Ollie and I are looking for a Forever Family –and a home where we can love and be loved. We are a fun-loving pair who are friendly and affectionate to all we meet, quick to adapt and intelligent. We are looking for a home where we can go on walks and rides, play, run and sun, snuggle and be together.

If we sound like your kind of boys, please complete an application for us. Nothing would make us happier than to meet you! We offer loving hearts, loyalty that knows no bounds and lots of companionship and entertainment!

Tail wags and doggy kisses,

Winsome and Wonderful Willie and his sidekick the Omazing and Outstanding Ollie

Hi New Best Friends,

My name is Blissful Bobby and I’m a darling bichon boy of five (years that is) who is a lover and a keeper. I have this cute way of almost ‘purring’ and a cute way of ‘talking’ that make me who I am. My foster mom says I’m just about the cutest kid on the block. I exude cuteness. I personify cuteness. I’m the epitome of cuteness. That’s what she says. (Can you tell she kind of likes me?)

I love to run and sun and go for walks. When I do, I have a certain bounce in my step. (I think that shows I’m really happy, which I am!) I also like to go for rides in the car with the breeze on my face (I’m a good co-pilot!), lounge in the sun and cuddle on your lap. I also love my bed. Mom and Dad have a bunch of beds around the house and I like to play ‘musical beds’ as they are all comfy and lovely.

Mom says I want to learn commands like sit, stay and come and, since I’m pretty smart, I should master them with practice! She says I love to play fetch – but am not interested in giving up my toy (That’s part of my game with Mom! After all it IS my toy!)

I’m housebroken and ask to go outside. I would love to have a doggy door though then I could go in and out whenever ‘inspiration’ calls me. When it’s time to go to bed, I like to sleep quietly under the bed. I never like to be too far away. Of course, being a gentleman, I’m not a barker.

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

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

Mom says I’m a friendly, outgoing, playful, loving and loyal pup, about 17 pounds, with tons of love to give my forever family. She wants you to know, also, that I really like to be held and petted — and especially love to have my ears rubbed! Face rubs and belly rubs are also really appreciated.

So if you are looking for a sweet, cuddly, loyal and very handsome bichon, who will be your best friend and companion ever, please ask for me.

Tail wags and prances

Beloved and Blissful Bobby

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
