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.
- Charlie
My name is Charismatic and Cuddly Charlie–and I’m a dashing, adorable, happy and tail-wagging Bichon guy of two (years that is) weighing an athletic 18 pounds. I might look familiar to you and you may have read about me before, as I’m kind of famous. You see, I was rescued by a nice lady in Lodi who saw me living in a backyard with no four-legged friends, little water, nothing much to eat and with very little human attention. She offered to ‘help me’ and took me to her home where I was surrounded by three big, sweet Pit Bull pups and a small 3-year-old toddler. Well, that was quite a change and, as you are about to find out, I immediately adjusted. I knew right then and there that my life was going to be much, much better and happier. - Emmie
I’m Energetic and Endearing Emmie, an adorable and happy little bichon pup who is a bundle of love, weighing 12 pounds and a year and a half old. I love everybody (big and small, I like them all!) and everything — and I am always interested in what is going on around me. Mom says I’m a goofy, happy, loving and all-around great puppy who is big on having fun and equally big on loving. (Can you tell she kind of likes me?) - Domino
My name is Darling Domino and I’m a very handsome and happy Bichon Poodle mix (You can say BichiPoo or PooChon if you’d like) with beautiful black hair, a brown mustache, a white spot on my front leg and the most expressive brown eyes – not to mention a big personality. I’m an adorable guy who loves everyone –big people, little people, all sizes and shapes, too. - Susie
My name is Susie and I’m a pretty and pretty famous bichon. The pretty part you can see from my photos so now on to the famous part. Well you see I was a little pup (12 pounds) with a huge mass (2½ pounds if you please) who was left at a shelter. I was so sick and scared and ready to give up. I had been living that way for many, many months. At the shelter I then developed this thing called pneumonia. (That’s even scary for a healthy pup) but… here comes the good part: My BFK Aunties swooped in, brought me out of that shelter, arranged for my surgeries an - Theo
I’m Theo—, and I’m a fabulous four-year-old fluffy pup who is probably part Corgi and part poodle. I have big black eyes and a beautiful three-colored coat: black, white, and grey. I have hair, not fur, and little short legs, so my fosters have nicknamed me Stubbs, but they say it with love. - Jackie
My name is Jackie and I’m a happy , active and very athletic Bichon mix who is affectionate and adorable. (I’m not bragging! That’s what everyone says about me!) I’m a friendly two year old boy who tips the scales at 14 pounds (which is the perfect weight for a bichon!). My Mom says I have the most expressive face and listen attentively when she talks. You see I’m really smart and I don’t want to miss a thing! - Kenzie
My 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! - Remie
I’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. - Winky
My 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!) - Dickens
I’m Dickens, a playful and gorgeous Bichon boy of not quite two who loves other dogs and people! 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! - Vivi

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.
