Hello Everyone!
My name is Cody and I’m a loving, calm, cuddly and charming bichon of about seven or eight (years old that is), a svelte 13 pounds who excels at being a companion. In fact the “C’ in my name is short for COMPANION. I’m LOYAL in capital letters, 
LOVING (in a very sweet and adoring way) and a very mellow fellow!
My foster Mom says that I enjoy being with and around people—and that my tail wags and wags with happiness! I have these expressive hazel eyes that dance and when I look at you it’s with total love and appreciation.
Mom says I ‘go along to get along’ and that I am amazingly adaptive! I can adapt to any routine, am housebroken (which Mom says is a very good thing!) and am a very good boy! (As a result I get to sleep in the Big People’s Bed and I love it!)
Speaking of things I love, I LOVE to play fetch (and tug-of-war) with my stuffed bone. Mom and I created this game that goes like this: Mom throws the bone and I run to get it. THEN (drum roll please) I bring it back to her (That’s the amazing part!) so she can throw it again! It’s really a great game and we both really, really enjoy it! Want to play with me too?
I also enjoy racing up and down the yard with my foster doggy siblings, going for walks (long or short!) and rides in the car (anywhere you want to go is fine ‘case I’m quite the companion). My BFK Aunties say that I respond 1000% to human kindness and get along with two and four-legged companions alike. I rarely bark, excel at cuddling and am affectionate with a capital A! It’s true that I appreciate every (good) thing that happens for and to me. It’s true that I appreciate every (good) thing that happens for and to me.
My very favorite thing in the world is to be loved and to give it back. Mom says I am a sweet and happy guy who appreciates attention – but doesn’t demand it. (I especially appreciate all the nice things Mom says about me and how kind she is!) I just need somebody to give me lots of love – and I’ll absolutely positively give it right back!
My Ideal Home:

* Adults or a family with kids over 7 please.

So if you are looking for a loving, friendly, affectionate, playful and independent little guy who is a good friend to other FurKids, wants to be your special companion – and if you are looking for a new best friend please ask for me as I’m applying for the job!
Tail wags and snuggles,
Cute and Cuddly Cody
Unfortunately international business travel for weeks and longer at a time have made it necessary for Charlie to spend too much time at a doggy hotel and the family has a month-long trip coming up on the first of July. Although he’s a good sport at the doggy hotel, we (and they) want Charlie to have a stable home environment without all the time away.
Charlie loves to play hide-and-seek, loves his walks, enjoys the companionship of people and other dogs – and is a lively little guy who is also very patient with young children. Charlie is in excellent health, housetrained, sleeps quietly in his crate — and is a friendly and loving pup.
Charlie’s family wants him to have the kind of life going forward that he has enjoyed in the past and as a cherished family member. They have reached out to Marti to find a forever home. In our desire to minimize further transitions, we are looking for a couple or family, possibly with another smallish bichon or similar, who will foster Charlie with the intention of fostering-to-adopt him. In order to do that, BFK needs two completed applications: a foster and an adoption application. 
Precious Evie is current with all shots, has had a recent dental and is spayed. She is in excellent health and is a sweet and somewhat shy little girl who is waiting for a home where she can be a significant part of everyone’s lives once again.
My foster Mom says that I am SUPER SMART and ACTIVE! Now for the ACTIVE part: Mom says I love to play with toys (more on that later) and I love GRASS! Every time I get out in the backyard, I do a little bichon buzz, then roll around in the grass with a big smile on my face. Dad noticed that I also love sniffing different types of flowers on my walks (and I love my walks!). Last but not least is proof of the SUPER SMART part: Mom says I have discovered training treats and when I realized I’d get a treat for going through the doggy door, I started running in and out and in and out every couple of minutes expecting treats each time! She and Dad laughed at how quickly I picked up on what to do and how I also figured out the reward for doing it. (And they are very impressed with me, too!)
Since I became a FurKid I have mastered a lot of new things besides how to play. I love to ride in the car, have already mastered the “sit” command when waiting for food and treats and I’m willing and want to learn more!. I’m also housebroken and not a marker. (Mom says those are really GOOD things!) I walk without pulling on the leash and while I enjoy being in the presence of people and other dogs I don’t need to be entertained constantly (Mom says I can entertain myself!) On the other hand if I can get one of my doggy foster brothers to play with me I love it! When I can’t I find a toy or two or three that I can play with and do so happily. I love rope toys and also those called ‘squeakers’. (The first time a toy squeaked though I was quite and I mean quite surprised!)
Dad says I’m respectful of house rules (and I do not break them ever!) am housebroken (and that’s NOT a typo!) and I am also not a barker. I never bark at anyone or other dogs on our walks or when people walk by the front of the house. Even when my doggy foster brothers bark, I don’t join in on the chaos. (Mom and Dad appreciate that a lot!) And when I need some quiet time I go to my bed or crate and take a nap!
Now I know you want to know how I am with other dogs (I’m fine most of the time — but I’m even better being an ‘only’), I absolutely love playing with my stuffed toy, I think walks are the bestest fun and rides in the car are pretty neat, too! I’m potty trained, know some commands (and like to perform too!) and am so good that I sleep like a baby all night long. Oh and I’m also crate trained, don’t whine, am lovable, lively and very, very smart!
I’m about 8 years old and Mom says I have lots of exuberance. (I’m not exactly sure what she means but she smiles and says I’m a super sweet pup.) Dad says if you rub my neck or ears or give me attention I just about purr. (Silly Dad, Kitties purr, not puppies!) Actually I have this very endearing way of tapping on your arm (gently but relentlessly) so you can stroke me. And once you start to stroke me, I’m very good at getting you to keep doing it. Dad says I’m a master at gaining attention – and I’m such a good guy that I deserve it.
All in all, I’m quite the package and I’m ready to find my forever family. If you love to go on walks and rides (and cuddle!) then I might be ‘the one’ for you. And there is no doubt that I will be the most loyal and loving of companions.
I’m also a curious little guy who loves to sniff and explore. I adore my walks and like my rides in the car. I’m good with children and other dogs. I have this thing called ‘separation anxiety’ which means I like having other dogs and people around most of the time. Although I’m a ‘newbie’ I’m learning commands (the first one I’ve learned is ‘sit’) and I come when you call my name. I’m also working on being housebroken and am really understanding that! Dad says I stick to Mom’s side like glue and like to curl up into a tight ball and snuggle as close as I can! (Mom says I get an ‘A’ in cuddling!)
During the day, I just LOVE to play and go on walks. I love to try and get one of my doggy foster siblings to chase me or play with me. Mom says that I am fast, smart, and playful. That’s just my personality.
