Hi People!
My name is Gorgeous Grady and my Mom says I’m an absolutely adorable Bichon pup who weighs about 9 pounds. She says I’m a happy, cuddly, curious, inquisitive, friendly, cute and very adaptable boy of about one – and I’m just as affectionate as I can be. (You see, I have already worked my charm on her – and I wasn’t even trying very hard!)
When I came to Mom’s house, it wasn’t long before she fell in love. I taught her how to run after toys in the yard and play fetch, the value of a very special toy – and I especially taught her how to snuggle. (She’s getting very good at it, too!)
My doggy foster brothers have taught me a lot as well. Like how to play (‘trade the toy’ and who can collect the most toys is a favorite) and just playing in general!. Mom says I’m just plain happy when I have a toy to ‘love.’ In fact having fun is what I’m all about. Mom says I am an amazing companion who will make a wonderful addition to any family as I’m easy-going, fun and loving.
As for Dad and my teenage human brother, they like me too – and I like them a LOT! They say I love to go for walks and rides in the car – and that I’m a happy boy. I get praised for learning to go outside to ‘do my business and I sleep quietly in the Big People’s bed.
Mom says I am focused on people (I like to meet-and-greet) am very smart and a master cuddle bug. I love to snuggle in bed or on the couch. What I really need now is a forever family to call my own – and another furkid would be just terrific!
My Ideal Home:
- Someone home most of the time
- Another active, playful dog around my age
- Another dog to show me the ropes
- Kids over 7 years old
Experience Level:

So please complete our application so we can meet, cuddle and fall in love
Bichon waves and wags,
Gregarious and Gorgeous Grady
Dad says I like to be wherever he or Mom is. He calls me Super Glue because I bond to people in seconds. There is no doubt that I’m the world’s greatest lap dog – until you get ready for a walk. I love my walks! I’m happy to trot along and see the world. I’m also a great rider (in the car, that is!).
Because I’m smart I mastered the doggy door in minutes (making Mom and Dad very proud of me!) I mastered being housebroken. And I also mastered this game called ‘Fetch.’ I’m also great at playing ‘Chase’ and I like being chased as well too. Another way that I show how smart I am is I cock my head when you talk and listen very, very intently! I don’t want to miss a word when someone is talking to me!
My story is all too familiar. My former family had me from the time I was a puppy and for almost six years. I went everywhere with them and liked that a lot. They dressed me up (I have quite a wardrobe) and life was fine. Then last August I had this thing called a ‘seizure.’ They took me to the vet who gave me these tiny little pills (I take 2 every day and I’m a champ!). And the best news is that I’ve never had another one! But then my family decided to move and didn’t want me anymore. They ‘surrendered’ me to the kind vet who took care of me until I became a FurKid.
Now life is good again. I get to go on car rides (I’m great in a car), go on walks (one of my favorite things to do and I’m simply amazing to walk!), I’m housebroken (I’d love a yard but I’m fine with a walk schedule) and I know a few commands (Sit and stay are my best ones!). My favorite thing to do (other than sit with my human) is to play with my pink squeaky ball. I like to carry it around and will ask you to throw it. Then I will run to catch it and, when I’m all done, I roll on top of it and get a massage. My foster mom says that’s adorable!
Mom says to tell you that I know a lot of things already. I’m housebroken (and get to sleep in the Big People’s Bed), know commands like “sit” and “come” and “wait”. She’s also teaching me hand signals because I’m so smart and like to learn. I also love riding in the car and adore my daily walks. Dad says I strut when I walk, hold my head as high as I can and wiggle my butt! In fact, like most furkids, I need my walks several times a day. It makes me and my doggy foster brother very happy to be in the great outdoors, smelling all the flowers, bushes and trees or enjoying the beach and all it has to offer.
I, Lady, am a very happy and loving pup! Whether you are gone for a few minutes or longer I greet you with so much love and affection that you’ll know how very important you are to me! My joy at being with you is contagious (in a good way) and I smile to show you how happy I am. I LOVE going for walks (the more, the better) and am fine with the other pups we meet and see, I also like to go for rides in the car. Since I arrived at my foster home I’m learning these things called ‘commands’ and showing how smart I am (and responsive too!) I’m housebroken, sleep through the night and am very adaptable to new situations. In short, I’m a happy camper!
My little sister Scottie (well, she is not really my actual sister but she thinks of me as her big sis) is a mellow and calm sweetie pie, with big brown eyes and silver-tinged ears. Dad says she is such a well-mannered, obedient and calm pup who defers to me but also loves and enjoys attention. Mom says Scottie is endearing because she doesn’t demand attention but draws you in because she is patient. She is housebroken, rarely barks, gets along with other pups in the neighborhood and is good with children. Scottie listens well, loves to ride in the car and go for walks. Mom and Dad agree that Scottie is easy going, not demanding, responds to love and affection with delight and is a sweet companion.
Dad says I approach the world head on. I’m gentle with children and other dogs that I meet and am amazing companion who is always ready for my next adventure! He says I’m housebroken, like to go for walks and rides in the car, knows some commands and learning others and truly wants to please. I get along well with all the other pups in my foster home – and even do well with those creatures called ‘cats.’
