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.
- Bohdi
My name is Beloved and Blissful Bohdi — and I’m a gentle, handsome bichon boy of five years, weighing 19 pounds who has soulful brown eyes and a nose my foster mom says is “designed specifically for kisses.” (I think she might be right). - Remy
My name’s Remarkable Remy–and I’m a seven-year-old Havanese boy with a soft gray-and-white coat and a heart that is loving (and ready to share my love.) Before I became a FurKid, I spent most of my life in a crate, which is why my foster mom says I’m a one-year-old pup in a slightly older body. I like to have fun – and create fun, too! Why I feel like a brand-new pup! - Sammi
My name is Sammi, and if you’re looking for a dog with spirit, smarts, and a little bit of silliness, I might be your girl. I’m a 2-year-old maltese mix, about 20 pounds, with a tan coat and an energy level that keeps life interesting. My foster mom says I’m equal parts playful goofball and loyal shadow. Whether I’m zooming around the yard, wrestling with myself on the couch while making ridiculous growly noises, or snoozing right at her feet while she works, I’m happiest when life is active and I’m close to my person.
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.
