AVAILABLE DOGS

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

Please read the ENTIRE bio to make sure the dog you are interested in is the right fit. Our bios are written from the perspective of the FurKid. When we say “needs another FurKid”, that’s not negotiable. (Most of our pups do!) If we say family with kids or adult only, that’s what our pups needs and wants.

  Benny
  Hello People! My name is Benny and I’m known as Benny the Energizer Bunny! I’m two years old and 12 pounds of fun and activity in a very cute body. There is no doubt that I’m a great guy to have around as I’m always on the go, looking for things to do and places to explore. I do that with a smile on my face and a song in my heart. (Oh silly me!

  Fonzie
  Hello World! My name is Fantastic Fonzie and I’m a bouncy, happy, loving little fluff ball (I mean bichon!)  who is 6 months old (or is that young?) loves kids, bigger people (called adults) and other furkids.  Why I’m just about the most perfect and adorable little guy on four legs, according to my foster Mom. I’m also a very lucky guy. Until the other day I was living on the street. Now I have a Mom who […]

  Suki
  Hello People, My name is Suki and I’m a sweet, sassy and willful  little girl of two looking for a forever home. My foster Mom says I’m very loving and affectionate — and as feminine as they come. But that’s not all. I’m also a diamond in the rough. Mom is a trainer and she’s doing her best to teach me the proper way to behave in the world. She says we are making progress […]

ALL AVAILABLE DOGS

In the gallery below are FurKids currently in foster care. After we 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.
