adopted

Hello People,

I also enjoy the company of those two-legged ones called PEOPLE! A mellow home where I can cuddle and snuggle when I’m not playing is what I’m looking for.

Anyone who has visited Mom and Dad’s home likes me immediately – and they also like to give me belly rubs. (And how can a guy resist a belly rub?)

My Ideal Home:

• A mellow home environment 
• Someone home most of the time
• Another active, playful dog around my age and size
• Someone willing  continue my training

Experience Level:

• Needs experienced adopter
• Rescue dog experience required
• Recent/current dog experience

So if you are looking for a little love of a guy with tons of promise, who is curious about life, doesn’t bark much, loves people and other pups, please complete our application as I am waiting to meet you.

Tail wags and wiggles,

Darling, Delightful and Deserving Dickens

Hello World,

I’m Tipper the Terrific, a darling Bichon Havanese of about three (years, that is) who weighs about 14 pounds soaking wet. My foster mom says that good things come in smallish packages and I’m an incredibly cute ‘package.’ (Mom also says I am the sweetest little guy you could ever hope to meet.) Speaking of meeting…I like to meet new people and especially love to meet other dogs. Give me an opportunity to play with another pup and I’m one happy little guy!

I’m a loving, mindful, adaptable, well- mannered and friendly pup who is housebroken and does not mark! I’m eager to learn what is expected of me and to show you that I can master any requests. I already know a few commands and have truly mastered ‘sit’ (because I then get treats when I do that!) Patience is one of my best traits!

I’m basically just happy to be in a nice home where people are good to me and I have doggy foster sisters I can play with!

I love to go on walks and rides in the car (Mom says I’d prefer driving but since I’m not old enough I’m learning to sit nicely) and I love to be petted and have my belly rubbed. (I’m teaching the Mom how to do that and she’s learning really well!)

My BFK Aunties say that I love listening to everyone talk and I think I understand most of what is being said. I may not be able to talk “exactly” — but I do my best to communicate and am very expressive. And I smile a lot!

My Ideal Home:

• A consistent and loving environment
• Someone home most of the time
• Needs another FurKid or two
• Active Adults or family with teens

Experience Level:

• Recent/current dog experience
• Has had dogs as an adult

So if you are looking for a sweetheart of a guy who is cute, friendly, trusting and loving then look no further. Just complete our application– and let’s get together.

Hope to meet you soon.

Tail wags and more,

Tipper the Terrific

Hello Everyone!

I’m Munchkin and I’m a totally adorable little FurKid! I’m 9 pounds of love and cuddles in a cute and tiny body. I love to do all the things that bichons love to do like go for walks (I’m masterful on a walk. Did you see my video yet?), cuddles on the couch and hanging out with the people. (Did I mention that I LOVE everyone?) And I’m amazingly lovable.

Mom and Dad said to tell you that I’m a very mellow and sweet little girl of seven – and that sometimes I am so quiet they almost forget that I’m around. Then they hear this sound (it’s me wagging my tail as fast as I can to get their attention) and they say “My goodness, Munchkin. Is that you?” You see I like to hang out with them and enjoy their company. Mom says I’m a very special little spirit and that I touch the heart of everyone that meets me, especially when they know my story.

You see before I became a FurKid my life was pretty hard. I came into the shelter as a stray and no one paid any attention to me. The shelter staff ignored me too and thought I was much older than I am and they thought I was there until it was time for me to cross the Rainbow Bridge. I, however, had other ideas, believe me! I remained the sweet, loving little girl I am and hoped in my heart that there would be a guardian angel who would recognize my sweetness and change my life story. And guess what! That happened!

One day one of my BFK Aunties came to visit. She spent time with me and I was my most convincing self! The next thing I knew I was on my way to an amazing foster family who has embraced me totally! Mom and Dad have made me feel loved and secure. They have helped me master the art of cuddling (truth be told I didn’t need too much practice) and the kitties in the house and my doggy foster brother are fine with me being there. (He’s an older guy who doesn’t interact much. Mom says she thinks I’d enjoy the company of any pup, as I like both human and canine companionship.) Dad says I’m about the sweetest and most accepting pup they have ever fostered. And I get to feel love and human compassion all day and night.

Speaking of night, I get to sleep in my crate but some day, in my forever family, I would LOVE to sleep in the Big People’s bed. Did I mention that I’m housebroken, working on a few commands and grateful for a second chance at what is now a wonderful life?

My Ideal Home:

• Someone home most of the time
• Another FurKid around my age
• Adults or a family

Experience Level:

• Have had dogs as an adult
• Previous experience as a doggy parent

So if you have a home with other FurKids and a heart as big as mine, please reach out and let’s meet.

Tail wags and snuggles galore,

Magnificent and aMazing Munchkin

Hello Everybody!

My name is Lovable Laddie and my Aunties want me to introduce myself because I’m a pretty spectacular pup. Now I’m absolutely not bragging (I would never, ever do that) however everyone that meets me says so!

My foster Mom will tell you that I’m a very handsome and loving mix of either a Bichon and a Doodle or perhaps a Bichon and Cocker Spaniel. Whatever I am, I have silky off white hair (and boy! did I have a lot of it when I was rescued! Why you would think I was a mop in motion then – but I feel a lot more comfortable now.) Mom says when my hair grows out I’ll be quite stylish — and am quite ‘the looker’ even with my new ‘do.’

If you look at my pictures you will note that I have kind and expressive brown eyes that look straight into your soul. I’m a very sweet and gentle guy who will let anyone pet me (when Mom says it’s ok!) and love to kiss everyone too! At my human grandma’s house there is this big, bouncy puppy who is a bit ‘over the top’. I made sure that my Mom was okay with his bouncy-ness and was ready to protect her if she needed me. Mom said it was very sweet that I was ready to come to her rescue (since she came to mine!)

I enjoy being around my doggy foster brother and sister – and am learning to follow their lead. Mom said I was spooning with my doggy foster sister and she thought that was very cute. Since I’m young and limber I truly enjoy my walks. Mom is going to take me on this thing called a ‘hike’ soon so I can see if I like that, too.

Did I mention that I’m almost four years old and cuddle sized at 21 pounds? I’m loyal, attentive and eager to please. One of my favorite things in the whole world is to cuddle up with my human and hang out,or take a nap or sunbathe in the yard.

My foster family agrees that I’m handsome, kind, loving, well- mannered and intelligent (Gee, thanks everyone). I’m learning some commands — and am so smart I can easily learn more. Want to teach me?  I’m a very good student.  I’m also housebroken and that’s not a typo! Mom calls that the ‘icing on the cake’.

My Ideal Home:

• A consistent and loving environment
• Someone home most of the time
• Needs another FurKid or two
• A couple or family willing to further train me
• Older children (10+ are okay)

Experience Level:

• Recent experience with an active pup a plus
• Previous experience as a doggy parent

So if you are looking for a new best friend, are around most of the time, and, most importantly, waiting for a pup who wants to give and receive love. please ask for me!

Cuddles and tail wags,

Loveable, Likeable and Loyal Laddie

Hi Everyone,

I get along great with other FurKids (especially little ones like me) and have recently met the two-legged ones calls ‘kids.’ (That was fun too and I was great!) Like to go for walks? So do I! Mom says I can go fast but am not what she calls a ‘puller. And I’m learning that rides in the car can be to good places, not scary ones. Soon Mom expects me to be pretty amazing in the car!

Dad says I’m the kind of pup who likes to sit on laps, get cuddled and petted, then am off to the next adventure. (I call rolling in the grass an adventure and boy, do I like to do that!) Mom says I always look like I’m smiling! There’s no doubt that I’m a happy boy. Did I mention also that I’m a ‘meeter-and-greeter’? Well I am! I’ve never met a stranger and like everyone I meet.

My Ideal Home:

• Someone home most of the time
• Another active, playful small dog or two
• Kids are fine

Experience Level:

• Have had dogs as an adult
• Recent/current dog experience welcome

Did I mention that I’m also smart (!), cute as can be and fun to have around? It’s all true. Every day I’m learning how to be the bestest little guy I can be. And there is absolutely no doubt that I’m a magnetic, magnanimous and motivated little guy who is looking for his forever home.

Tail wags and smile,

Magical and Merry Marley
