Here are the FurKids who are ready to meet their Forever Families. Because we want all of our FurKids to become the best representatives of bichons that they can be, we have high standards for them. Please know that the chemistry with you, other dogs and other breeds is more important than gender! More males are born, therefore, more come into rescue. The biggest challenge we have is that many bichons need another bichon or other dog, as well as human companions, in their forever home. Most of our FurKids cannot be ‘only children’.
All bios are written from the perspective of our pups and what they need. You will want to read the bio all the way through. If it says that a pup needs a home with another active FurKid, that is a “must have”. If the bio says children over 7 or adults only, that is also what we are looking for. Based on the volume of applications we receive, we are not able to respond to adopters who do not meet the dog’s ideal criteria. If you do not hear back from us, it is because you do not meet the criteria.
It is also important for our puppies to emulate and learn from other dogs. As a result, we do not adopt puppies to homes where there is no other dog. We do, however, adopt siblings from a litter together. All puppy adopters are asked to do training and socialization with their FurKids with the goal of helping them to be amazing little canine companions.
Please check back for new bios, photos and furkid information! We update the web site several times each week.
Because we want all of our FurKids to become the best representatives of bichons that they can be, we have high standards for them. That includes working with trainers (while in foster care and after being adopted) and experiencing lots of socialization. Many FurKids go on to become service dogs, both emotional support and therapy dogs.
FEATURED DOGS
We appreciate the outpouring of interest in our FurKids within the community!! Thank you for your support.
Fosters are the lifeblood of our organization. They enable us to rescue as many pups as possible and, in turn, to place these pups in loving forever homes. Fosters help us to save lives and also have the right of first adoption!! IF you are interested in fostering, please click here to complete our form.
We update our website weekly. We continue to find that about 80% of the pups we rescue want to go to a home with another pup, often a fluffy pup like themselves. The number of rescued FurKids who want to be the only pup in the home is very small.
Please read our bios carefully before submitting your application. IF the word ‘ONLY’ appears by the dog’s name, that dog does not need a canine companion in the home. Otherwise the bio will indicate that he or she CANNOT be in a home without another dog.
Please read each bio carefully before submitting your application.
- Oscar
I’m Optimistic and O’mazing Oscar, a handsome cream colored three year old pup who tips the scales at 20 pounds and is now living the life I was meant to live. I became a FurKid when my owner move into something called “assisted living.” I wasn’t allowed to join him which made me sad but some Bichon FurKid Angels intervened and now I’m very glad and grateful! - Bailey
I’m Bodacious Bailey, a spry and smiley little guy who is on the hunt for a forever family to call my own. I’m a handsome cream-colored pup with apricot ombre on my ears (I know, I’m quite the looker!). Weighing in at a solid 10 pounds, I’m the perfect size for cuddling, but I can also keep up with your active lifestyle. - Lucy
My name is Lovely, and Loveable Lucy, and I’m an adorable and tiny little girl with a VERY big heart. I’m about 7 years young, weigh just 6½–7 pounds, have soft white hair that is growing in beautifully and a sweet expression on my face. To say I am every inch the most portable of pals is an understatement!
ALL AVAILABLE DOGS
If we have any dogs ready for adoption they will be featured in the galleries below. Once our foster families get to know their personalities and needs, we then write their bios. If you do not see a story about a particular dog, that means he or she has just recently become a FurKid. Please do NOT ask about one that has no bio as we cannot respond! When we know more about the new pups, we will then write their bios. Be aware, also, that our foster moms and dads have the ‘first right of adoption’- and often decide to adopt the FurKid they are fostering.
