adopted

Hi Everybody!

Please allow me to introduce myself because I’m a pretty special pup. My name is Crowd-Pleasing and Cuddly Coco — and I’m a friendly, affectionate and fun-loving girl of four or five who is as sweet as sugar and as lively as can be. Mom says I’m the best little girl she knows. Dad says I have confidence and spirit plus I’m smart, loyal and a great companion. (Did I mention adorable and charismatic?)

When it comes to doggie goodness, Mom says I’m the complete package! I have lots of puppy in me – so my favorite thing to do is play! I love my tennis ball and my toys and I’m so smart that I taught myself how to fetch. I will keep you entertained and will play as long as you’d like. But I also love to cuddle and will cuddle for all I’m worth!

Dad says I love my walks and go on walks three or four times a day. (Just take out my harness and I am ready to go on any adventure) and I also ride beautifully in the car! I come when you call my name (that’s a really good thing according to Dad) and I really like my human brother and sister (they’re called ‘teens’). I’m good with my doggy foster brothers, too.

I’m eager to please, very smart and fun to live with – because everything I do is entertaining and there’s always a smile on my face. Mom says I’m adorable, cute and a very special little girl!

Besides being special in all the ways I’ve been described, I’m also special in one other way. I have these special teeny tiny pills that I have to take every day so that I won’t have this thing called a seizure. Now I haven’t had one in two years since I now am taking my pills – and we hope I will not have any again. (That’s why I’m so glad I have my medicine.) If you didn’t know I had ever had one you certainly couldn’t tell – I’m just as active, playful and happy as my doggy foster brothers.

Mom and Dad are hoping you will see all my cuteness and happiness and want to love me forever. I truly deserve a family to call my own. Will you be the one for me? If you think you are, please first send an email indicating your experience and history with bichons. If there is an alignment between that and what I need, a volunteer will be back in touch to ask you to complete an adoption application. You may send that email to bfkapplicants@gmail.com

Hello Everyone!

I’m Tipper, a darling little puppy who is three months old and weighs about 6 pounds soaking wet. I have a soft white coat and apricot-tipped ears, which is why I’m called Tipper. My foster mom says that good things come in small packages and I’m an incredibly cute ‘package.’ (In fact Mom says I’m an ‘angel.’ I’m not sure what that means but she smiles when she says it!) Dad says I’m the sweetest little guy you could ever hope to meet. Speaking of meeting…I like to meet new people and especially love to meet other dogs. Give me an opportunity to play and I’m your guy.

I’m a little scrapper of a puppy with a sweet personality and a happy smile. I hop like a bunny when I’m excited (and that’s a lot!) and I listen intently to everything around me. You see I was born blind so I listen very carefully, lift my nose in the air and cock my head to the side. Mom calls that my ‘listening face’ and says it’s absolutely adorable. Dad says although I’m blind pup I have no idea that other dogs (or people) can see. I don’t act like anything is different or “wrong” with me.

Since I’m still a puppy, I’m learning new things every day. The most important thing I’ve learned so far is “careful”. I know when Mom says this I need to calm down a bit, or watch for a step etc.. Mom and Dad have been saying “You found me” when I come over and that makes me really excited. Mom has started trying “touch” as well and I’m learning very quickly since I’m smart and anxious to please!

I love to ride in the car (Mom says I’d prefer driving but since I’m not old enough I’m learning to sit nicely) and I love to be petted and have my belly rubbed. (I’m teaching Mom and Dad how to do that and they’re learning really well!)

Mom and Dad agree that I’m a great little guy with a lot of potential! (Aww, thanks Mom and Dad!) I would be happy in almost any family situation where there’s another young active furkid or two. If I sound like the kind of boy you are looking for, please fill out an application and ask for me.

So if you are looking for a sweetheart who is happy, adventurous, bouncy, curious, playful, and rambunctious then look no further. Just complete our application– and let’s get together.

See you soon.

Tipper the Terrific

Hello World!

My name is Buddy and I’m what you might call a double 10: ten pounds of lovin’ and about ten years old. My foster mom says I’m playful, have a happy personality, a loving heart and am becoming a snuggler. I’m spunky, love my walks and rides – and am incredibly smart!

Recently some very sad, then some very nice, things happened to me. You see, I was adopted by a wonderful couple when I was just a pup… they loved, adored and spoiled me … and all was ok. A few years ago my Dad died which made me very sad but I still had my Mom. Then a few weeks ago my Mom died and I was ‘left’ at the vets office. Neither of Mom’s adult children wanted me which made me quite sad! All I needed was a chance to find another loving home as I have many more years of loving and living to share!

The good news is that now I am a FurKid and I have adapted well to the loss of my family, settling in to my foster home and grateful for the company of my doggy foster brothers. Mom says I’m a good boy who is a bit shy initially but with patience and understanding I come around. I’m good with other dogs and really enjoy their company. Mom says I’m loyal and good natured – and need another dog or two in my forever home.

I’m potty trained, want to please, perk up when you call my name and come when you call. Oh and did I mention that I love to eat? As little as I am, I have a big appetite and I’m not a fussy eater at all!

Mom says besides LOVING my walks, I like riding in the car and travel very well. Wherever we go EVERYBODY stops to say ‘Hello’ and has to mention how cute and adorable I am. (I appreciate all the compliments, especially after what happened when Mom died!)

I’m looking for a family who will love and be there for me, take me on walks and rides, cuddle and play… as I miss my people very much and have a LOT of love and loving to share.

If you can open your heart to me I know we can be the best of friends. So if I sound like your kind of guy, please complete our application so we can meet. Mom says you will soon be calling me your Buddy and that I truly know the meaning of the word!

Tail wags and doggy kisses

Your Friend-in-Waiting, Buddy

Hi Everyone,

My name is Callie – and I’m three years old and 21 pounds of lovin’! I have soft, fluffy white hair and big brown eyes that shine. My foster Mom says I’m a sweet, smart and affectionate cuddlebug who is looking for my forever home.

In my previous home (before I became a FurKid) I didn’t get a lot of attention –so I’m making up for it now! I have had lots of interactions with other pups (I don’t care for crazy puppy energy or their sharp teeth though) and some people. (This COVID thing makes it more difficult for me to meet new people but Mom thinks if people go slowly with me I do pretty well.) And once I know you I bond like Super Glue!

I’m not bragging but Mom says to tell you that I’m housebroken (and crate trained), like to ride in the car, and prance on the leash. I’m so good that I get to sleep in the Big People’s bed, too! And there is no doubt that I’m all girl and full of promise.

I would benefit from some good training (Mom already taught me to ‘sit’ and I mastered that quickly) and I would love to learn how to do even more things. So if you are looking for a little bundle of love (like me) please complete our adoption application. I can’t wait to meet you!

Hugs and snuggles,

Cute and Captivating Callie

Hello People!

My name is Playful Pippi – and I’m a sweet, bouncy and joyful Doodle of two who weighs 24 pounds and comes in a cute package! I have a sweet face to match my spirit and am a long-legged little colt for whom every day is a happy day. Did I mention that I have a curly white coat, big brown eyes and Mom says I always look like I’m smiling. (That’s because life is good!)

Every day is filled with new experiences. You see, before I became a FurKid I never had a home with people who paid attention to me or gave me any training. Now I live with a wonderful foster Mom and Dad who care for me and teach me all sorts of new things like how to “sit” and “stay” and “down” and tells me how smart I am! I have a warm bed and get all the food I need and have had a doggy foster sister to share my life with as well. Life as a FurKid is GREAT.

I’m housebroken and like to show how smart I am every day! I love to ride in the car, go on walks (walking is my happiest activity of the day!) and play. I’m great with people I know and am getting better at getting to know ‘strangers’. I don’t warm up right away so you will have to be patient with me in the beginning. But once I get to know you, it’s a different story. When Mom or Dad come home, for example, after being away I run up to them and bounce like a bunny, filled with excitement, then fling myself at them in wild abandon and wag my tail (which looks kind of like a bunny tail.) I’m just bursting with happiness!

After a long walk (1-2 miles) I arrive back home and do the Bichon Buzz (Zoomies) for a few minutes, showing my happiness, then I settle in on the couch next to my foster sister for a good night’s sleep. (I’d really like to sleep in the Big People’s bed all night but only get to do that in the morning; then I cuddle with Dad for all I’m worth.)

My very favorite thing in the world is to be with my people. Mom says I yearn for attention – and finds ways to get it. I would do best in an active, structured and loving home with need somebody to give me lots of love – and I will give it right back.

So if you are looking for a sweet, playful, lovable (but not needy) pup who is still a diamond in the rough, are willing to continue my training and understand that I am still working through a few quirks (for example I cannot be crated) then please ask for me.

Wiggles and kisses,

Pretty Intelligent Precious Playful Independent that spells Pippi

Hello Everyone!

We are Tori and Toni, a very special bonded pair. I, Tori, am Toni’s grandmother and she is my darling little grandbaby. We have been through an awful lot together and we are very lucky to now be FurKids.

Our situation is both special and unique. You see, as a senior citizen and a woman of the world, I have been enjoying the sunshine and fresh air of my foster’s home. This is a first for me as I previously spent my life in a crate having puppies for many years. It appears that I passed my very sweet disposition on to them, as Toni attests. As for me, I’m a very gentle pup who is trusting, loves to be held and be near you. While my hearing is diminished and my eyesight is limited, my little spirit is full of love and light – and thankfulness for my life now.

Then there’s little Toni. (Even though she weighs a bit more than I do at 8 pounds I still think of her as little Toni.) She is eight years old and about 8.8 pounds. Toni is a beautiful little girl that wants to be your best friend. She’s into human touch and being with her people. Toni will follow you around the house and want to sit on your lap to just feel warm and loved. Because Toni’s very friendly and excellent with people, she loves to go wherever you go including riding in the car. Toni likes to look out the window; if she could sit on the lap of a passenger she would sleep there all day.

Now I’m not bragging but Toni knows her name and listens well. She comes when she’s called because she’s extremely agreeable. We both have a special food that we eat that has helped us to gain weight (we needed to desperately) and become stronger. We get to walk in the yard, bathe in the sun and take all the cuddles we can get. (I also give our foster Dad gentle kisses when he holds me because I know how much happier my life is now.)

So if you are a unique home and are looking for two little munchkins who are cuddly, small, gentle, companions who are grateful every day that this chapter of their life is filled with love and wonder, please ask for us. And remember, we must be adopted together.

Tail wags and love,

Tori and Toni: Treasured, Trusting and Thankful FurKids
