Hello New Friends,

My name is Susie Q and I’m a perfectly adorable bichon girl who loves to hug– and I do that to perfection!! Mom says I’m a sweet, loving and friendly girl of about nine or ten who is as affectionate as I can be. (You see I have already worked my charm on Mom – and I wasn’t even trying very hard!)

When I came to my Foster Mom’s house, I was very sad. My ‘original Mom’ had passed away and I was a bit “discombobulated.” (Dad says that’s a big word but it means that I was confused and upset.) Then I got to know my foster Mom and my world became so much better! She and I have become the best of friends. I have taught her how to sit (oops, I mean she taught me how to do that) – and I especially taught her how to snuggle. She’s getting very good at it, too!

I LOVE to go for rides in the car – and am starting to enjoy getting to walk again too. You see my ‘original mom’ had become very frail and then bedridden and not able to do those things with me any more. She knew I had and have a lot of spirit and that it was not fair for me to be confined to a house all the time. Mom said I would never complain – but I needed to be in a home where I could do the things we used to do together.

Dad says I’m eager to please, very smart and a master cuddle bug. I love to snuggle in bed or on the couch (especially with Mom!) I like the company of another dog, would be fine with older children as I’m gentle, come when I’m called (Apparently not all FurKids do that so Mom and Dad appreciate it in me!) and have LOTS of love to give. What I really need now is a forever family to call my own.

Will you be the one for me? If you are looking for a lover and a cuddler who wants to be your bestest companion I’m applying for the job! Please complete our application so we can meet soon.

Cuddles and kisses,

Sociable and Sensational Susie-Q

Hello Everybody,

My name is Incredibly Irresistible Indy, at least that’s what everyone who meets me says! I’m a loving, friendly, and cuddly pup of two (years, that is!) who is inquisitive, knows a number of commands and comes when I’m called! Sound good? Please read on!

Mom says I am very gentle and loving, (She says that is a wonderful combination) a real gentleman and an easy boy to have around — as I get along with just about anyone and everyone – two or four-legged. And I have the cutest way of reaching out with my paw to let you know to please pet me some more – or if I’m unsure of a situation I reach out with my paw to be comforted. Mom says I’m irresistible. (I’m not sure what that means but she smiles when she says it1)

Like many of my bichon ‘brethren’ I’m very sweet, smart and loyal. I love ‘my people’ yet am independent as well. Mom says that’s why I’m called Indy (because I have some ‘independence’ in my genes.) On the other hand I’m a real lover and like to cuddle as close to my people as I can.

The most important thing for you to know is that I need company. My perfect home will have people around most of the time – and another young FurKid. Having a special person I can love and adore, and a doggy buddy, is what I want most in the world!

As you can see from my picture, there is no doubt that I’m a very adorable pup! So if you are looking for a great little companion who loves to be with you, gives sweet doggy kisses, enjoys his walks and prances down the street, let me apply for the job!

Tail wags and snuggles,

Incomparable, Irresistible Indy

Hi People!

My name is Gorgeous Grady and my Mom says I’m an absolutely adorable Bichon pup who weighs about 9 pounds. She says I’m a happy, cuddly, curious, inquisitive, friendly, cute and very adaptable boy of about one – and I’m just as affectionate as I can be. (You see, I have already worked my charm on her – and I wasn’t even trying very hard!)

When I came to Mom’s house, it wasn’t long before she fell in love. I taught her how to run after toys in the yard and play fetch, the value of a very special toy – and I especially taught her how to snuggle. (She’s getting very good at it, too!)

My doggy foster brothers have taught me a lot as well. Like how to play (‘trade the toy’ and who can collect the most toys is a favorite) and just playing in general!. Mom says I’m just plain happy when I have a toy to ‘love.’ In fact having fun is what I’m all about. Mom says I am an amazing companion who will make a wonderful addition to any family as I’m easy-going, fun and loving.

As for Dad and my teenage human brother, they like me too – and I like them a LOT! They say I love to go for walks and rides in the car – and that I’m a happy boy. I get praised for learning to go outside to ‘do my business and I sleep quietly in the Big People’s bed.

Mom says I am focused on people (I like to meet-and-greet) am very smart and a master cuddle bug. I love to snuggle in bed or on the couch. What I really need now is a forever family to call my own – and another furkid would be just terrific!

So please complete our application so we can meet, cuddle and fall in love

Bichon waves and wags,

Gregarious and Gorgeous Grady

Hello Friends!

My name is Precious Petey and, as you can probably see, I’m a very handsome boy — but not your ‘average’ bichon. I’m actually a very handsome, mellow and sweet little poodle, 12 pounds of love and affection in a very cute body.

I’m about six or seven years old and I’m quite the looker. I have beautiful black hair with white paws and a white tip on my tail. I also have white hair around my nose and mouth– and on my chest as well. But there’s more to me than just a pretty face! You see I’m a gentle, mellow little guy with eyes that look into your heart and soul with love and affection. Mom says I’m respectful, adoring and friendly with everyone I meet. Sometimes I’m a bit shy when I first meet someone new but in no time at all we become friends. Dad says it’s the sweet way that I approach you and ask to be loved that will touch your heart.

I like other dogs, and they like me, but I’m more into my special people! I will come up to you for a gentle pet or sit with you and cuddle. If you want a companion to share your days and nights, look no further as I’m applying for that job. You will not find anyone who is more loving or appreciative of the time we spend together.

I love to go on walks and rides in the car and am happy to find a lap to crawl into as well. Dad says I’m an incredible lap dog — and that I do my best to snuggle as close as possible. All I have to do is look at him with my big brown eyes, and presto, I’m there: ready, willing and able to cuddle for as long as he would like. I also like to snuggle with my mom when I can but she usually has other fluffs on her lap so I don’t compete.

Did I mention that I’m housebroken and sleep quietly in my crate at night? (Mom’s happy about that but knows I would love to sleep in the Big People’s Bed– and would be a quiet little buddy all through the night). I also know how to “sit” and am working on learning other commands too.

If you are looking for a happy, cuddly, adorable, handsome and friendly guy who likes to be where you are and is sweet, gentle and very mellow then please ask for me. I can’t wait to meet you.

Tail wags and soft kisses,

Personable and Precious Petey

Hello World!

My name is Archie and I’m a sweet, family-loving and good natured little puppy of six months – about 13 pounds of love with a great personality and a happy smile – a darling little guy who gets along with everyone! I have a cream colored coat, apricot colored ears, hair (not fur) and am a mix of cocker spaniel, dachshund and cuteness.

I love people of all shapes and sizes, and especially when they pay attention to ME! I come running with joy when any person appears on the horizon, then I give lots of doggy kisses and become a cuddling fool! Nothing makes me happier than that – that, and playing with other FurKids!

Mom says that I am as sweet as can be and a real cuddle bug. (Silly Mom, I’m not a bug at all, just a furkid full of love for everyone I meet.) Dad says I’m a diamond in the rough and a little guy with great potential! (Thanks, Dad!)

My doggy foster sisters and brothers are teaching me how to play and to be respectful of something they call ‘boundaries’ (I think that means I need to understand when they want to play and when they want to rest!) We have so much fun together! Toys, and ‘specially squeaky toys, are already my favorites, along with things to chew like yak bones. Why I never met a toy I didn’t like, either! And when I get tired, I curl up like the sweet little guy I am and take a nap. Mom says that makes the cutest picture!

I know you will know how smart I am when I tell you I’m already housebroken (although I haven’t broken a thing!) ride happily in the car and am ready to go for walks. At night, when all the excitement and fun of the day is over, I curl up and sleep quietly in my crate.

Of course, being just a young pup, I have lots to learn, and I’m looking for a forever family to learn with me. Mom and Dad think that I would do great in any family situation. If I sound like the kind of boy you are looking for, please complete our adoption application at https://bichonfurkids.org/adoption/ and we will get back to you. Please also note that if you do not meet the criteria for my forever home, you will not hear back from us. (Sorry. We are all volunteers and have other FurKids to save and place, too. Thanks for understanding!).

Wags and hugs,

Adorable, Affectionate and Affable Archie

Hello Everyone!

My name is Cuddly, Charismatic and Carefree Charlie — and I’m a bichon sweetheart of 16 pounds with love in my heart for everyone. I’m an adorable guy who is a cuddler and a lover, great with other dogs, good natured and simply wonderful with people. My foster mom says I’m very sweet boy, playful, spunky and adventurous (you can ask Mom about that) — and there is no doubt that I am VERY smart! I figure things out really fast and really want to please!

Dad says I like to be wherever he or Mom is. He calls me Super Glue because I bond to people in seconds. There is no doubt that I’m the world’s greatest lap dog – until you get ready for a walk. I love my walks! I’m happy to trot along and see the world. I’m also a great rider (in the car, that is!).

I love the yard (where I can hang out and play with my doggy foster sisters) and to explore the world. I tell Mom that exploring is understandable because I love the outdoors! She calls me Curious George. (Silly Mom. I tell her my name is really Charlie)

Because I’m smart I mastered the doggy door in minutes (making Mom and Dad very proud of me!) I mastered being housebroken. And I also mastered this game called ‘Fetch.’ I’m also great at playing ‘Chase’ and I like being chased as well too. Another way that I show how smart I am is I cock my head when you talk and listen very, very intently! I don’t want to miss a word when someone is talking to me!

Dad says I’m always wagging my tail to show that I’m happy – plus I’m loyal and friendly! I’m grateful to have a foster family who loves and appreciates me and I show them that I love and appreciate them too.

Mom says I do everything well but there is one thing I do exceptionally well: I am the perfect companion! There is no doubt that I’m always ready for kisses and cuddles and would be the perfect family dog.

I’m just a happy, fun-loving, energetic and sweet little guy who loves to cuddle, play and has a great big loving heart. If I sound like the kind of furkid that you are looking for, please fill out an application at as I am waiting to meet you.

Waiting to be your very best friend,

Charming, Cute and Compatible Charlie
