Hi People,,

My name is Casey and I’m a handsome and loving fluffy boy who is probably part Doodle, weighs almost 15 pounds, is eight years young and with quite a story to tell.

In the story, our hero (that’s me) wanders away from his original home and becomes quite lost. Then a Good Samaritan sees him wandering, rescues him and takes him to a scary place called a shelter. But our hero is a very lucky guy because the nice people at Bichon FurKids hear about him and decide to help. You see he (I mean me) has these things called ‘allergies’ and needs medication and some special food. So they help the hero get exactly what he needs. After that our hero—oh, forget it, you know I mean “me” goes to a wonderful foster home where he is loved and cared for, recovers, gets to cuddle and receive lots of love. Then he, I mean I, get to find a forever home and live happily ever after! Hooray!

Even though I had kind of a difficult journey previously (another home with some nice people but a big dog…which did not work out), my foster Mom says I believe in keeping a cheerful outlook on life. I’m friendly and cute, like to go for walks and rides in the car. Did I mention I am totally housebroken? (That’s not a typo! I even go to the door and bark to be let outside.) And did I also mention that I’m a great communicator? I have all these different sounds that I make. For example I have one sound that says “Please cuddle with me” and another that says “Who’s that person on our walk?” Then there’s the “Are we going for a walk” sound –and a whole bunch of other sounds. Mom can interpret them and knows what they mean! (Did I mention that she’s very smart and ‘talks dog’? She says I am very smart too!)

I like to follow Mom everywhere and soak up as much attention as I can! I’m a MAJOR lapdog who is endearing, irresistible – and a CUDDLER! I seem to like women the most but Dad says I’m sweet and always happy. Of course I am! I feel so much better now and am living the life I was meant to live.

My Ideal Home:
* Someone home most of the time
* An adult preferred (ladies especially)
* A tranquil and mellow home

Experience level:
* Have had dogs as an adult
* Recent dog experience a plus

So if you have a quiet home, like to cuddle and are interested in a great guy who is filled with love and is looking for his new best friend, we should meet! I promise to be the very best companion you could ever hope for! And you can help me write the end of the story where the hero rides off into the sunset with a love song playing in the background and everyone knows it’s a happy ending!

Tail wags and snuggles,

Charming and Cuddly Casey

Hello Everyone!

Cooper is a bichon/cocker mix who is 3 1/2 years old, currently fostered in San Diego and who needs on-going training (according to our trainer.) He was surrendered to us about 2 weeks ago as his owner was getting married and the fiance did not want Cooper.

Cooper’s foster Dad has a family emergency and is flying out on Jan. 2nd. We are looking for an experienced foster or foster to adopt, preferably with no other pups so that they/he/she can work on Cooper’s training issues.

Please email marti@bichonfurkids.org or text if you have her number.

Cooper needs a stable, calm and alpha influence in his life so he can become the pup he was meant to be.

Leo Must Have:

• Someone who is home most of the time and another active, playful dog around his age.
• A yard to run and sun in.
• Adults or a family.

Experience Level:

• Have had dogs as an adult.
• Recent/current dog experience a plus.
• Rescue dog experience.

Hello Everybody!

My name is Likeable and Lovable Leo — and I’m a go-with-the-flow, happy and friendly Cavachon pup who is a great companion and supreme snuggler! My BFK Aunties say I’m a Bichon/King Charles Cavalier mix who has the best qualities of both breeds. I’m good with children, adults and other dogs and I love to be near my people.

My foster Mom says I have puppy dog eyes that look at you with love and look deeply into your soul. When Mom was asked what I do that is cute she said “Everything.” (Aw geez Mom, that’s so nice to hear!) When she comes in the door I turn in happy circles to greet her. Then there’s my dinner ‘routine’. I hop on my back legs and twirl around looking pretty adorable. I also like to chomp on frozen vegetables. Mom says they are good for me and I like to make the way they ‘crunch’.

Did I mention that I’m also a very observant pup. If Mom is in the kitchen making dinner I lay at her feet. I also hang out when she’s getting ready. Then I hop up ready to follow her to the next location.

I’m also a great walker and rider. When Mom grabs her keys, I know we’re going to work. (I get to go with her and hang out all day.) I love getting in the car and lie perfectly still for the ride.That’s another thing that makes me a great companion. I’m what she calls ‘fully engaged’ with life.

I’m easy to train – and I certainly want to please! I’m learning lots of commands and am really good at “sit” (especially when a treat is offered) and “no”. Mom says I come when I’m called (that usually means a treat, some cuddles and pets) and that’s a good thing! I’m also getting the hang of commands like “down”, “roll over” and “stay.”

My Ideal Home:
* Someone home most of the time
* Another active, playful dog around my age
* A yard to run and sun in
* Adults or a family

Experience level:
* Have had dogs as an adult
* Recent/current dog experience a plus
* Rescue dog experience

I adapt well to any environment, have an endearing and curious nature – and make myself right at home wherever I go. I’m hoping that there is somebody looking for a cute, easy-going, huggable, playful, and friendly pup who is a good listener, too. Please let my BFK Aunties know that you want to meet me so you can fall in love.

Tail wags and bichon kisses,

Likeable and Lovable Leo

— Someone home most of the time

Hello New Friends,

My name is Bedazzling and Bodacious Bentley– and I’m an adorable bichon pup about four months old. Mom says I am spunky, playful, fluffy, cuddly and loving. (She says that is a wonderful combination.) I’m a sweet pup who loves to lay my head on your shoulder and cuddle for all I’m worth (And that’s a LOT!)

Mom says I’m PUPALICIOUS! That’s her word for a puppy who is delicious. From the first time she saw me, she said I reminded her of a miniature polar bear (I’m only 14 pounds!) and am precious to the core. I do these cute little things like cocking my head when you talk with me, hopping like a little bunny and doing ‘Zoomies.’ I also love to play with toys (and especially fetch the ball) and am constantly on the go… until I drop. That makes me a pretty typical puppy!

If I had a motto Mom says it would be: Life is short – Play hard and Get Lots of Lovin’! I love to romp, but also think puppy naps are the best. I LOVE being with people and thrive on being part of all that is going on around me. While I love to play, play, play I also love to cuddle, snuggle and give doggy kisses.

I have a very spunky spirit and I’m a bit of a collector. (I’m known around my foster home for ‘borrowing’ slippers and flip flops and taking them to my bed or blanket! ) Outside I’m adventurous, but also cautious. There are a lot of new sounds that kind of scare me so Mom says I’m learning to get over those noises.

Dad says I’m a quick learner and I follow directions well. I’m crate trained and almost housebroken (He says I am learning very fast … and want to please!)

My Ideal Home:
* Someone home most of the time
* Adults or a family with older kids
* Someone committed to training me!

Experience level:
* Have had dogs as an adult
* Recent/current dog experience with a puppy a plus!
* Rescue pup experience a plus too!

I’m a really happy little guy, (Mom says with a capital H) and very enthusiastic. As you can see from my pictures, I’m also VERY handsome! The most important thing for you to know is that I need company. My perfect home will have people around most of the time – because having a special person I can love, adore (and play with!) is what I want most in the world!

If I sound like the kind of guy for you, please complete our application at and ask for Bentley as I’ll be waiting to hear from you.

Tail wags and Cuddles,

Bodacious and Bedazzling Bentley

Hi Everyone!

I’m Beguiling Brodie and I want you to know that I love the world and all those in it! I am a handsome Bichon boy of five, with pure white puppy-soft hair, a smile for all I meet and big brown eyes that look straight into your soul- and melt your heart. (I give lots of doggy kisses, too!)

Mom says that I am an affectionate, loving, playful, sweet, gentle and good-tempered guy of about 16 pounds who LOVES people! Mom is a therapist and says I would make a great therapy dog! I’m affectionate and can’t resist the opportunity to get a caress– or a pat on the head. I also love to sit on your lap and take in all the love in the universe. She says, with a smile, that I’m a lap magnet – and that whenever she sits down I kind of melt into her lap, very happily!

Dad says I appreciate love and attention and that I have incredible energy and an infectious personality. He says I will nuzzle close to you and sleep curled up on or next to you. I walk beautifully, don’t pull and know what to do. I’m also a good listener and great companion! I like to be wherever my people are – but I’m not intrusive. If I can lie nearby, that is fine. If I can be in someone’s lap… well that is even better!!! I’m an energetic and great walker and love to go for rides (in the car, that is!). I want to go wherever you go. How’s that for being a great little guy?

I am really smart, very affectionate, like to be held and loved. You can take me everywhere as I just plain love to be with you! Mom says I have lots and lots of energy, want to please and make you happy. I already know several commands and want to learn more so please teach me! Dad says to tell you that I am a pretty amazing little guy who is a great companion.

My Ideal Home:
* Someone home most of the time
* People who work from home would be ideal!
* Adults or a family with older children

Experience level:
* Had dogs as an adult
* Recent/current dog experience

I need somebody to give me lots of love – and I’ll give it right back too. I’m a special and loyal guy who is longing to make someone very happy. So if you are around most of the time and are interested in a loving, sweet, wise, cuddly, attentive — and don’t forget adorable — Bichon boy, then I’m the one for you! Just fill out an application and ask for Brodie – you’ll be glad you did.

Tail wags and cuddles,

Brodie, the Bubbly, Beguiling and Boyishly Charming Bichon
