Hello People,

My name is Georgie although Auntie Marti calls me Gorgeous George. She says  I’m a very handsome and delightful guy of about nine who always has a smile on my face because LIFE IS GOOD!! Mom says I am fostered in San Diego and am 9 years young. I’m so gorgeous that people always approach me – and I’m so approachable that it’s a good thing! Besides being handsome and happy, I have a great personality and temperament. Did I mention that I’m also friendly? Sound good? Then please read on!

Dad says to tell you that I’m agile and active – and that I’m also housebroken, love my walks and rides in the car. (I’d really like to drive but he says I’m not big enough.)  Not to brag, but I’m an amazing rider. Why, with the window down and the breeze in my hair, my smile gets even bigger and happier!

Speaking of which, Mom says I love to meet and greet people more than anything in the world! I’m all about being loved by people—big people and little people—and everyone in between. Speaking of little people, when I meet children, I approach them very gently and lick their hands to get attention. Mom says that’s respectful and shows that I’m mellow and well-behaved.

Did I mention that I love to cuddle? Whether it’s in the Big People’s Bed, on the couch, or in the car, whenever I can be near you, that’s my ‘spoiling humans time.’ I will lay my head on your chest or sit in your lap and enjoy showing love to my human. You see, human touch and interaction are what make me happiest. That and being with my foster doggy siblings! I really, really enjoy being in a pack. Then, I can show love to both human and canine friends.

Can you see what a great companion I am?

Dad says I’m smart and already know commands like sit, come, and down. But I’d love to learn more. Will you teach me? I’m ready, willing, and oh-so-able!

Mom thinks I would do well in almost any situation where I can give and receive lots of love and attention! So, if you’re interested in a gorgeous boy who is loving, curious, happy, and mellow, then ask for Georgie. I’ll be waiting!

Wags and hugs,
Gorgeous (and Gentle) Georgie

Hello People,

My name is Charismatic and Cuddly Cody– and I’m a handsome, dashing, adorable, happy and tail-wagging Bichon guy of 18 months being fostered in Los Angeles. My foster mom says that I’m affectionate, playful and smart—and am in love with life and everything it has to offer. I’m grateful to be a FurKid –and I show my appreciation every day!  

Mom says I’m a great walker who loves cool mornings and early evenings. I like to take long walks around the lake –and love meeting people and pups along the way. Going to the dog park is also one of my most special things to do. It truly makes my day! There are always new friends to get to know and both the ones called ‘humans’ and those called ‘pups’ all fall in love with me (The two-legged ones tell Mom and Dad how amazing I am, too!)

I have other things I love (drum roll please) starting with my favorite new toy, a shark! Well, it is stuffed and not real, but it makes a really cool sound when I wrestle with it– and I love making it squeak. I also love car rides (of any length) and getting petted, being cuddled and all the things Bichons truly love and appreciate!!)  

Because I am smart, Mom has been teaching me commands (like ‘sit,’ ‘come,’ and ‘walk’). She says I learn fast and really want to please. Why do I even come when she calls my name? Now, I know a lot of Bichons who don’t do that, but I do! Mom says there are lots of other things I can learn, too! Do you want to teach me? I’ll be the very best student you’ll ever meet!

My Ideal Home MUST Have:
*Someone home most of the time
*Another active, playful dog for me to play with
*Adults or a family with kids

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

I’m just a very happy playful boy whose goal in life is to bring you joy and make you smile! And I do that very well! So if you have a FurKid or two, like to do lots of things and are active and enjoy walks and rides, I’m applying to be your new best friend. Please ask for me by name!

Tail wags and Bichon kisses,
Charming, Cuddly and Charismatic Cody

Hello People,

My name is Lively and Loyal Liam –and I’m a handsome, smart and sometimes sassy Bichon of four who is looking for my forever home. I’m one of those rare pups that can either be an ‘only’ pup  (I truly love being with my special person) or I can be with another small pup like me. (I really don’t care for big dogs. They scare me!)

My foster Mom says I’m very intelligent (I know commands including come, stay, sit, down, dance (twirl your finger), go potty, down, and ball. In fact, I will definitely become your new best friend if you play ball with me! My foster Dad says to tell you that I LOVE LOVE LOVE to play ball (did I mention that already? Well I truly do!), LOVE to go on walks, LOVE to ride in the car and LOVE treats. And I LOVE to be petted and will roll over for a belly rub any time and anywhere!

I’m all of 15 pounds, am housebroken (and use the doggy door!) and I love my crate. I do really well with structure as it makes me feel secure. I’m also known as the shadow. Mom says I will follow her (or you!) everywhere– and I’m very vocal. I say that’s because I’m a communicator! You see, I have a lot of different sounds that I make to let you know how I feel. For example, I have this cute growl sound I make when I’m getting petted (Mom says it’s my happy growl) and another growl I make when the big dogs come by (which is my way of telling them to stay away) Mom and Dad know all of my sounds and can tell you all about them.

I love to cuddle on the couch, greet you with great enthusiasm (even if you only go to the mailbox) share everything you are doing with you and am a great watchdog. I will alert you if I hear anything outside, let you know the doorbell was rung or if there is a strange noise in the house. Dad says that’s very helpful. I’m not a barker though – just an ‘alerter’. 

While I am long on good looks and cute as can be, I’m also smart and a bit opinionated. I like to do what I like to do (which is why I need someone who is smarter than I am and will guide me into perfect behaviors.)Dad and Mom have been teaching me the proper way to behave in the world. And I need to continue my ‘training’ with someone who is a super smart and VERY savvy dog person.

My Ideal Home:
*Someone home most of the time
* NO other FurKids required, I like to be the center of attention
* Adults only
* NO children or grandchildren
* Someone committed to continuing my training

Experience level:
*Recent dog experience a must!
*Rescue dog experience a plus!

I’d really like to be someone’s bestest and most loyal companion!  I’m hoping to make up for lost time – and am looking for an adopter who will appreciate my intelligence and my affectionate nature – and will continue to work on my training so I can become the best pup that I can be. Mom says there is no doubt that I’m well worth the effort!

If I sound like the pup you are looking for, please complete our adoption application. It will be a very special home to which I am adopted as I’m a very special kind of pup. 

Tail wags and cuddles,

Lively, Loyal and Loving Liam

Hi everyone!

I’m Petey, a darling little ball of fluff and fun who is 13 weeks old and weighs about 6 pounds. We’re not quite sure what my pedigree is. I do have silky soft black and white hair so my foster Dad teasingly calls me Holstein. (Wait ’til you see how cute I am in person!) My foster mom says I’m a really fun-loving and energetic little bunny. (Did I say bunny – aw, gee! I am known for my ability to hop – and jump – so I guess that makes me bunny-like! )

I love people – and I love other dogs. I also love to play (well, of course, I’m a puppy!) And while I do kind of walk, I definitely do bounce. Oh, and did I mention I am good in the car, learning to be potty trained (already!), and am lots of fun. Dad says I can be quite the entertainer.

My sister Patti and I became FurKids after someone dropped us at a shelter without our mom. We were pretty scared, but fortunately, we didn’t have to stay there very long. Then our foster Mom and Dad picked us up and brought us to their home, where there were several pups, including one that was a Momma dog! She is teaching me all about how to be the best little pup I can be.  My sister Patti was recently adopted, but I am still available!

And (this is an important ‘and’) I’m learning to be socialized. Mom and Dad have fostered many, many FurKids and say I really want to learn and to please! My hobbies include following Mom or Dad around, playing in the yard (I’m learning to play Fetch), sleeping in the sun, and getting belly rubs. Oh, and I also love to snuggle.

So, if you are active, have at least one active, fun-loving young furkid, and are looking for a cute, funny, energetic, and loving little buddy who sounds and looks like me… please complete an application.

Tails wags and puppy kisses,
Playful and Perky Petey

Hello New Friends!

I’m Patti, a darling little ball of fluff and fun who is 7 weeks old and weighs a little more than one pound. We’re not quite sure what my pedigree is. I do have silky soft black hair, brown ‘boots’ and brown eyebrows (Wait til you see how cute I am in person!) My foster mom says I’m a bouncy little girl who is somewhat roly-poly despite my small size and pretty smart! When I’m chased I do the cutest thing! I run really, really fast then do a tuck-and-roll. (It works every time!)

I love people – and I love other dogs. I also love to play (well, of course, I’m a puppy!) (Please check out my video to see me in action!)  Oh and did I mention I am good in the car, learning to be potty trained (already!) and am lots of fun. Dad says I’m cuter than cute and have the most expressive face!

My brother Petey and I became FurKids after someone dropped us at a shelter, without our mom. We were pretty scared but fortunately, we didn’t have to stay there very long. Then our foster Mom and Dad picked us up and brought us to their home where there are several pups, including one that was a Momma! She is teaching us all about how to be the best little pups we can be.

And (this is an important ‘and’) I’m learning to be socialized. Mom and Dad have fostered many, many FurKids and say I really want to learn and to please! My hobbies include following Mom or Dad around, playing with toys, sleeping in the sun and getting belly rubs.  Oh, and I also love to snuggle.

So if you are active, have at least one active, fun-loving young furkid and looking for a cute, funny, energetic and loving little companion that sounds and looks like me… please complete our application. And if you want to adopt two absolutely adorable pups who enjoy one another, well Petey and I would love to be adopted together.

Pretty and Precocious Patti

Hello People!

My name is Lovable, Little Lexi. While I may sound like a little Swedish lass, I’m really a sweet bichon girl of four or five.  I weigh a mere 11 pounds (I watch my figure), and I love my foster Mom and the twins, as well as my doggy foster siblings. Mom says I have the cutest face (Aw, thanks Mom) and that I’m the best cuddler in the universe. (I’m not sure what that means – but I think it has something to do with curling up with her on the bed or couch!)

When I first meet new people I’m a bit shy and cautious. I need some time to get to know newcomers. So a gentle and patient approach is best with me. Then I show them the cute little girl that I can be. I’m also amazingly polite (I almost never bark!) and can be playful.

You see I’m just now learning about these things called toys. Once in a while, I have been known to find a random ball and pounce around chasing it by myself, leaping to and fro. And I’m a very smart little girl, too. I’m working on those things called ‘commands’. I’ve already learned to come when my name is called and am working on the ‘sit’ command. Of course, I am ready to learn more!  

I like to go on walks (they are pretty new to me) and long walks would be wonderful. I also like to go for rides in the car! Every day I get to have new experiences and have learned that I am safe and cherished,

While I love to be loved and cuddled, I’m also mellow and sweet. I do, however, need some activity during the day (Mom says the more walks, the better) and someone to help me continue with my socialization and training. At the end of the day, I curl up next to Mom and my doggy siblings in the Big People’s Bed and sleep quietly all night long.

My Ideal Home:
*Someone home most of the time
*An active family
*Someone who likes to walk (daily)
*Kids who are respectful and love to cuddle

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

So if you are looking for a be-ute-ee-ful and loyal sweetie and want a pup who will keep you smiling and warm your heart, I am the girl for you.  I’ll be waiting and watching for your adoption application.  

Tail wags and loves,
Loveable Little Lexi
