Hi New Friends!

My name is Zesty and Zany Zippy and I’m a perfect boy, a Bichon mixed with pure cuteness. Everyone who meets me says I’m adorable, loving and mellow. And that’s before they get to know more about me! On that note, I’m ten years young, weigh 12 pounds, have the most soulful eyes and short little legs. I am as affectionate as I can be, make new friends wherever I go and LOVE to go on rides and have adventures!

In my foster home I have many doggy ‘siblings’. Most are small like me but there’s a big one too. I’m not quite sure about him but he has this great big cushy bed so (drum roll please) when the bedroom door opens up I make a mad rush for the big cushy bed and claim it for the night. I smile like the cute boy I am when I have commandeered the BIG bed!

Did I mention that I’m housebroken AND know how to use the doggy door, never bark at strangers, am friendly and intuitive? I seem to know what people want and am happy to give that to them. And they are pretty intuitive too because when I roll over on my back they know I’m waiting for my favorite: a belly rub! Mom says that when she gives me a belly rub it tickles me and makes me scratch my back leg. She says that’s funny and very cute too! She loves how soft my hair is too!

I also like to go on short walks and LOVE rides in the car ! I really missed that a lot. You see my ‘original mom’ had couldn’t do those things with me any more- but knew I needed to be in a home where I could still do the things we used to do together. So I became a FurKid and now I get to do all those things again! Lucky me!

My Ideal Home:
* Someone home most of the time
* Another dog around my age
* Adults or a family

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

Mom says I’m an ‘easy peasy’ kind of pup. She means that I’m a calm, sweet boy who just likes being in your presence. Give me a comfy, cushy bed to lie in and I’m in heaven. OH and belly rubs and scratching my neck too please!

One more thing I almost forgot to mention – and that is I am SMART! Mom’s house has an iron fence to divide the side yard where the doggy door is. Well, I studied it for a bit then ‘discovered’ I could scoot through rather easily and get to the other side! Mom looked out the window one day and there I was on the ‘wrong’ side while my doggy foster brothers stood there wondering how I did that. That’s when Mom knew how very smart I am!

(By the way my foster brothers have still never figured that out!)

What I really need now is a forever family to call my own. Will you be the one for me? If you think you are, please complete our application so we can meet soon.

Bichon waves and wags,

Zany and Zesty Zippy

Hello World,

My name is Missy and I’m a beautiful, sweet and friendly Bichon girl of about two or three (years, that is!) who is loving, playful, inquisitive — and besides all that, happy, funny and want to please. I’m a prancer with long legs who loves everyone – big people, little people and other animals ! All this – and I weigh 10 or 11 pounds. (Because good things come in small packages, I guess you’d say I’m the best little package you’ll ever meet!)

Mom says that I’m as cute as can be, from my big, brown, expressive eyes to my always wagging tail. My hair is soft, white and growing in (I am now getting good nutrition and thriving on it) – and soon I will look like the beautiful bichon I was meant to be! I’m very loving and, in fact, wrap my paws around your neck and snuggle happily when you pick me up. Mom says to tell you that I give amazing hugs (that’s what she calls them) and that I’m an absolute jewel! (I think she likes me, don’t you?)

Dad says I have never met a person I didn’t like – and I’m very energetic. I like to play, love to chase my doggy foster brother and sister, throw our toys and get them and play, play, play. There is no doubt that we have the bestest of times running around the yard and playing with each other.

 

My Ideal Home:
* Someone home most of the time
* Another active, playful dog around my age
* Another dog to show me the ropes
* A family would be great!

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

I also LOVE to go on walks (short or long walks, I love them all!), am housebroken (no typo there) and loyal. Mom says I’m her little shadow and am happy to go wherever she goes. She says that I love being with people, am incredibly smart and want to please. Right now I’m learning some basic commands (Ask me to do a ‘shake’ and I’ll show you!) and some tricks. When we meet I’ll show you how well I know my ‘stuff.’

I’m the kind of girl who would do well in any family – and a home with kids and another FurKid or two would be my idea of heaven. If that sounds like you, please complete an application and ask for Missy. I’ll be waiting for you!

Snuggles and love,

Magical, Memorable Missy

Hi People!

My name is Banjo and I’m an amazingly handsome little Bichon of about three or four. My foster Mom says I’m loving, cute, adorable, a bit of a clown, affectionate and active. I love other dogs, adults, walks and (especially) rides in the car. That makes me an outstanding companion — unless you are a giraffe, a hippo or a tiger. I wouldn’t want to be your companion then. (Mom says I’m being a little silly but she knows what I mean!)

I’m 17 pounds of fun – a little guy who is handsome, friendly and young at heart. Well of course that’s true as I’m a young bichon boy! I’m also a guy who has to make up for lost time. You see before I became a FurKid I had this thing called an ‘accident’. I ran into something called a ‘car’ and it was a LOT bigger than I am. I got hurt and had to spend the last four months healing and getting better. And (drum roll please!) I’m now healed and better! I still shouldn’t do crazy puppy running and jumping yet – but since I’m a cuddlebug and snuggler, that’s not a difficult thing for me to do! In a few months I can do all those silly puppy things once again.

I’m also housebroken (I actually ask to go outside!), crate trained, willing to learn commands and LOVE to explore. Mom says I have a wiggle in my walk – and a bit of a ‘hitch in my giddy-up’ that’s a cute thing to see! I’m also very loyal and sweet and will do well in any home, as long as there is someone to shower attention and affection on me.

My Ideal Home:
* Someone home most of the time
* Another dog around my age
* Adults or a family with older children

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

The only thing that I need right now is a forever family, one with another FurKid. Do I sound like your kind of guy? I’m awfully good at a lot of things and I’m waiting to be yours. So please complete our application and ask for me. I’m waiting to meet you!

Love and snuggles,

Blissful Banjo the Bandit (‘cause I’ll steal your heart)

Hello everybody!

My name is Jimmie (although my foster Mom calls me Jim Jam) and I’m a sweet and gentle little guy who is an amazing companion and supreme snuggler! I’m a mellow pup who loves to be near my people (but am never intrusive) and enjoys the companionship of other pups. I’m also awesome with calm and gentle children. My foster Mom says I have puppy dog eyes that look at you with love – and that I have the ability to ‘materialize’ from almost anywhere if you mention the word ‘treat.’

My BFK Aunties say I’m a quiet and loving little lap dog – but I’m not a couch potato! I have an endearing and curious nature, like to explore my environment and have bursts of energy and playfulness – but that being petted is my specialty. One look at my cute little face and you will fall in love.

Once upon a time, I had a home with someone who loved and took care of me- and I was the happiest pup on earth. But one sad day, my person went to Heaven and I was taken to the shelter, which was a pretty scary place for a mellow and gentle soul like me. Luckily, my BFK Aunties came and scooped me up, because they could see that I was a great guy who would make a wonderful companion.

Now, I am a little bit older than the average guy you see on our web site, in fact I’m about 10 years young. But I am healthy and loving and cheerful- and little guys like me can have a really long life. Mom says that I like to go on leash walks and would love a yard to explore. I also love car rides. Sometimes I curl up and sleep the whole way, and other times, I look out the window and grin. I’m also eager to please.

At home, I’m the perfect buddy for a snuggle in front of the TV, or a little nap on the sofa. I’m a quiet, gentle guy who doesn’t cause any trouble at all. I stick right by my people and will even put my little paw on my Mom’s hand, so she knows that I’m there for her and ready to be petted at any time. Mom says that having me around is like having a visit from an old friend, who fits right in.

My Ideal Home:
* Someone home most of the time
* Another dog around my age
* Adults or family with older children

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

So now I’m hoping that somebody out there is looking for a loving, gentle guy like me, to “fit right in” at their home. Do you think you and your family might have a place for me in your hearts? Do you have children or grandchildren you want to teach about unconditional love? I’m happy to help you do that! Could you help me write a happy ending to my story? If so, please apply as soon as you can, and ask for Jimmie. I’ll be waiting with a smile and a loving look in my eyes.

Tail wags and bichon kisses,

Joyous Jimmie

Hello New Friends,

My name is Cary Grant – and I was named that as I will be quite the handsome fella when my hair grows in. According to everyone who meets me though I am a loving and happy Bichon mix of about seven or eight who, like my namesake, is a man of the world. Mom says I’m the biggest sweetheart she has ever met- and that I’m very, very special! I’m quiet, tiny (12 pounds), gentle, calm and easily amused. I love all people and animals and have no fear of anything. Mom calls me the Perfect Pet!

I’m already housebroken, ride calmly in the car and love when I get to sprawl out on the big bed at night. In fact, I like to sleep on the pillow next to my Mom. (She says I think I’m human!) I suppose I should mention that I am, of course, housebroken, and love all the things that Bichons, and most other dogs, do: rides, treats, cuddles, and naps. I learn fast and am very smart!

My foster Mom says I am also being too modest. She says I am lovable, sweet natured, friendly, happy, gentle and mellow. I don’t growl or bark and love my walks! The longer, the better. If you are looking for a companion to get some attention and exercise, then I’m your boy! And in return for all those good things I will shower you with love and affection.

My Ideal Home:
* Someone home most of the time
* Another small dog would be nice but is not required
* A person or couple looking for a companion

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

If you are looking for a buddy to fill your days and nights with loving companionship, then I’m applying for the job. Please ask for me as I’ll be waiting to meet.

Many kisses and cuddles,

Cheerful, Calm and Charming Cary

Hello World,

My name is Rollicking and Resilient Rylee and I’m a little (12 pound) two year old bichi-poo (Gesundheit!) female. (In case you don’t know that term, it means I’m a mix of a bichon and poodle.) Mom says I’m quite the Velcro pup, a wonderful companion and a major cuddlebug. And, according to my Dad, I’m a smart little girl who wants to please and be a big part of your life.

Mon says I know how to do a lot of ‘useful’ things. For example, I mastered the doggy door and know to go outside when I need to ‘do my business’. Even when it’s raining! How’s that for smart? (And how happy that makes Mom and Dad too!) I’ve already learned the command ‘Sit’ and am looking forward to learning more commands, too! And I EXCEL at snuggling and cuddling. Want to read a book or watch a show? Knit, crochet, scrapbook or do a puzzle? Then I’m your bestest companion!

Before I got shaved at the shelter I had long white fluffy hair – in fact it was a bit too long so the shelter took care of that (unfortunately.) Right now my hair is kind of short, so my ribbons fall out, but when my hair gets longer, you’ll see how beautiful I will look. Mom calls me a toasted marshmallow as my hair is white and caramel colored now and has a nice wave to it and I have a bit of an underbite. What’s most noteworthy though are my eyes: they are the windows to a very beautiful soul.

My very favorite thing in the world is to be with my person. Mom says I am an affection-seeking pup who just yearns for attention. I need somebody to give me lots of love – and I give it right back! I’m a sweet and special little girl who is longing to make someone very happy.

My Ideal Home:
* Someone home most of the time
* No other dogs required: I want to be the center of someone’s world
* An adult or two (ladies preferred)
* Kids over 12 are possible too

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

Mom and Dad say I’m a diamond in the rough who is funny, devoted, adorable, has a LOT of potential and is waiting for a person to call my own. So if I sound like your kind of girl, please complete an application and ask for me — I’m Rylee! And I’m a rare and special little girl!

Your friend-in-waiting
