Hello World,
My name is Chipper and I am a coltish and charming bichon boy who is 10 months old and 17 pounds of cuteness and also a very lucky boy. Let’s start with why I am so lucky.
Until the other day I was living on the street and scrounging for food. Then I was picked up and taken to a place called a shelter. It was a loud and intimidating place for a youngster like me and I became quite scared. I rubbed and rubbed my ears on the concrete until they were very swollen and bloody. And while I don’t recommend doing that it did get me ‘rescued’ right away –so that I wouldn’t make things any worse for my poor ears!
My BFK Aunties took me to the nice vet where they shaved and cleaned up my ears and gave me some meds so that my ears would stop hurting me. Thank goodness they did as it worked! I’m already healing and the hair on my ears is already growing back.
Now I have a foster Mom who takes me on walks and rides – and a 9 year old foster sister (the human kind) that I can snuggle with and watch TV. I like to listen to everything she says to me and am doing my best to be her shadow!
There is also a great doggy foster brother who is helping me to become more confident every day. He is doing what Mom calls “showing me the ropes”. I get to meet lots of other dogs and people — and I like them all (Best of all, they like me!) And the greatest news is that I no longer have to be alone (Didn’t I tell you I’m lucky!)
Mom says that I’m very friendly, energetic, loving, cute and playful. I love my doggy foster brother and I love children! Oh and I love ALL toys! While I am happy to play with each and every one, my very favorite toy is my rubber chicken! Oh me, oh my! I love that little guy. (I also like to play fetch!)
Did I mention that I like to go for rides (in the car, of course!) and on walks? Well I do – walks and car rides are the best! And when we are back home, it doesn’t take much to get me into a ‘snuggle mode’. (Mom says I do that well, too!)
Dad says that I am smart, want to please and have already learned the ‘house rules’. Did you know I am already potty trained and that I sleep quietly all night in my crate? I’m also learning commands (although I’d rather be running and playing ‘cause I’ve got what Dad calls ‘puppy energy.’) He says that I am an amazingly happy and active guy who is friendly and full of love. (Gosh, Dad – thanks!)
Oh and one last thing: Mom says my eyes shine and smile because I’m so happy! So if you are looking for a guy who is happy, friendly, playful, enjoys cuddles and snuggles and has tons of love to give, please complete our application as I am waiting to meet you.
Tail wags and kisses,
Cute, Cuddly and Companionable Chipper
I like other dogs and even get along with those creatures called ‘cats.’ Everyone who meets me says I’m sweeter than sweet. It’s easy ‘cause I’m happy to be given love and attention. (Mom says a sweet, smart and gentle furkid like me would be welcome in any home- and on any lap!)
I have big brown eyes (that smile) and a great personality to match. I dance on my hind legs to show my joy. There is no doubt that I’m a feminine and happy little girl with a great big heart! And did I mention I’m a cuddler and a lover, adoring and affectionate – and, guess what? I’m looking for my forever home.
I’m happiest when there are people around to love! Mom says I’m the best companion you could ever ask for and am always happy as long as I can be close to my people.
There is no doubt that I’m a feminine and happy little girl with a great big heart! Mom says that I’m an adorable and sweet pup — with so much love to give! If my whole day could be spent playing and then snuggling, and then playing and then snuggling, I would be the happiest FurKid on earth. How does that sound to you? If it sounds good, please complete our application and ask for Nikki?
Everyone who sees me says I’m just as cute as I can be! I’m the most vocal of my siblings. I like to have them around as they help me to feel more confident.
There are three of us (two boys and 1 girl) and we are adorable and adoptable! Our Mom is a terri-chi and Dad was a poodle mix so you could say we are mixed with cuteness. Please be sure to complete an adoption application – so we can get to know one another. You can meet me now — and I can go home with you in early October. In the meantime I will continue to learn as much as I can and get ready for my forever home.
My foster Mom says I love to PLAY! Toys are my favorites – but please make them ‘big boy toys’, as I get very ambitious when it comes to playing. I ‘kind of’ understand the concept of Fetch but am still working on the bringing the ball back part. (On the other hand Dad is really good at that part!)
Dad wants you to also know that I’m smart and have mastered a number of commands (and can learn more!) I know to come when I’m called, I know “Down”, “Good Boy” and “No”. Since I’m still a puppy and a bit mouthy I also know the command “No Bite” (but I haven’t bitten anyone, honest!)
Another thing that makes me extra special is my ability to adapt. You see I’m very social and like everyone I meet. Mom said I’m a kind of social butterfly (but I’m really not a butterfly, silly Mom!) Whether it’s meeting new people on our walks and trips to the store or when friends come over (they are called company) I love being with people. You see they talk to me or pet me then I look into their eyes and presto! it’s love.
I am also a snuggler. I like to snuggle with people – and that there is nothing I would rather do that curl up in your lap and rest my head on your shoulder. Mom says that makes me irresistible. I’m also compassionate. Why when my doggy foster brother was injured I would lie down in the bed and comfort him so he would feel better.
Mom says I also know how to do a lot of ‘useful’ things. For example, I know some commands, walk beautifully on a leash and mastered the doggy door the first day! How’s that for smart? (And how happy that makes mom too! She says I’m such a good girl.)
