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.
At this time we have many approved adopters who have been patiently waiting. Currently we have only a few pups available for adoption. We expect that to change — and are definitely looking to assist owners who need to surrender pups to us, as well as shelters that reach out to us.
Please read each bio carefully before submitting your application.
- KenzieMy name is Kissable and Captivating Kenzie –and I’m a sweet, smart and sassy little girl going on three (years, that is) who is looking for my forever home. My foster Mom says I’m very loving and affectionate — and a lot of fun to have around. I get along with other pups however I’m very much a ‘people person’ (I mean dog) and love to be the center of attention. Did I mention that I talk? I really do! You can have complete conversations with me and I’ll be happy to tell you anything you want to know!
- RemieI’m Rascally and Resilient Remie, a handsome Bichon boy who is friendly, affectionate, cuddly, mellow and beyond all that silly puppy nonsense. I’m more of a man of the world, nine years old and 13 pounds, who is known for loving his walks, enjoying rides, promoting his belly rubs and being a great companion.
- StevieMy name is Spectacular Stevie and I am an affectionate fluffy pup, about 13 pounds and two years old who is adorable, friendly and a very lucky boy. I’m a laid-back little guy who is well-behaved, listens (and wants to please), is smart, and learns quickly. While I’m quiet and easygoing, I’m also affectionate. I love to sit on someone’s lap when possible, but I can play and entertain myself as well. I love the outdoors, love my chew bones, and adapt well to new situations. Mom says I would probably get along with just about anyone.
- Danny BoyMy name is Darling Danny Boy –and I’m so pleased to meet you. Now, I’m not exactly an Irish lad despite me name (oh! silly me!) I’m a gorgeous little bichon pup of about two who tips the scales at not quite 9 pounds and has quite a story to share.
- BijouMy name is Bewtiching Bijou and I’m a handsome and delightful little bichon of about one (year that is) with TONS of personality! (I’m not bragging, honest! That’s what my Mom tells me all the time!) She says I am so happy that I smile – and when I do, I light up the room! Besides being cute and loveable I’m also playful and want to please! Sound good? Then please read on!
- WinkyMy name is Wonderful Winky and I am a sweet, cuddly, affectionate, outgoing, and sensitive boy of about one or two (years that is) who tips the scale at 14 pounds and LOVES to cuddle! Although I’m young. I’m already proving that I’m SMART — and easy to train. (Why, I already know some commands and want to learn more! And since I’m eager to please, the more you can teach me, the more I can learn. Pretty soon I’ll have this thing called a ‘vocabulary’ that I have learned with your help!)
- Jennie and JulieI’m Julie, and I’m a darling bichon of four (years that is). I’m a shy yet inquisitive, calm, observant and very sweet little girl. I tip the scales at 14 pounds and have big, expressive brown eyes. My sister is Jennie and she’s also four years old and weighs 13 pounds. I call her an honorary bichon– but Mom says she’s really a Shih Tzu. Jennie is a more outgoing and friendly –and is a happy and inquisitive girl and we are both sweet and gentle.
- BodieMy name is Bubbly and Bodacious Bodie –and I’m a lover and a keeper! You can adopt me straight away or foster-to-adopt me. I’m an adorable two-year-old bichon/poodle mix (some people say Bichipoo, and others say Poochon), about 22 pounds, full of energy, and excited about life. Mom says when I look up at you with my big brown eyes, you will know that I love you. Dad says I’m a sweet and gentle boy who is a snugglebug, eager to please and fun to have around. I love to go on walks and rides – and am very good-natured. Mom says I have a smile on my face all the time!

I’m intelligent, loving, energetic and inquisitive — and I want everyone to know that Life is Good! I love my foster Mom! I love car rides! I love going for walks! And guess what? I love to learn! Every day is filled with new experiences and adventures. I am a very lucky boy!

Did I mention that I’m also friendly? Sound good? Then please read on!

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!
- PeteyI’m Petey, a darling little ball of fluff and fun who is 7 weeks old and weighs 2 pounds. We’re not quite sure what our 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! )
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.
