Hello People!
My name is Vivi and I’m a sweet and quite sassy little girl of five looking for a forever home. My foster Mom says I’m very loving and affectionate — and as feminine as they come. I’m all of 12 pounds, am housebroken (and use the doggy door) and I love my crate. I even put myself to bed at night if I’m tired (but Mom lets me come into the Big People’s Bed in the morning for a cuddle or two or three!)
Dad says I’m a diamond in the rough. He and Mom are doing their best to teach me the proper way to behave in the world. I’m definitely making progress but will need to continue my ‘learning’ with someone who is a super smart and VERY savvy dog person. If that sounds like you, please read on!
While I am long on (good) looks and cute as can be, I’m also pretty willful. I like to do what I like to do (which is why I need someone who is smarter than I am and will guide me into perfect behaviors.)
I walk well on a leash and am learning to relax in the car. I do best on short drives and like to listen to music.
I do love to cuddle and am known for springing up into your lap to cuddle at the slightest provocation and wanting you to pet my head ( but only my head, please!). If you are lying on the sofa, I love to roll on top of you and make cute little “snorty” noises as I turn around.
Unfortunately I’m not a pup that is good around children. If you have children or grandchildren that visit I’m not the one for you. Sorry! I’m an ‘adults-only’ kind of pup. Mom says before I became a FurKid I was adopted simply because I am cute. So I formed some bad habits that she is helping me to overcome. Since I’m smart, I’m definitely learning what to do and not do.
I’m also a bit selective about making friends. I bark when people come to the door (Dad says I’m a great watchdog) but when I know someone, I’m much friendlier. I also guard my toys, which is why I’m best as the only pup in the house.
Because I wasn’t successful in my ‘past life’ I’m hoping to make up for lost time – and am looking for adopters who will appreciate my femininity and my affectionate nature – and will continue to work on my training so I can become the best little girl that I can be. Mom says there is no doubt that I’m well worth the effort but you have to know my signals so that I can be successful.
If I sound like the pup you are looking for please let us know. It will be a very special home to which I am adopted as I’m a very special kind of pup. If that sounds like you, please send an email explaining your experience and background to bfkapplicants@gmail.com If you sound like you represent a fit, we will be back in touch.
Tail wags and cuddles,
Vivacious, Intelligent and Very Independent Vivi
We are Muppet and Willie Wonka, two darling young pups. Our foster parents said to tell you that I, Willie, am a goofy little Havanese mix bundle of love and energy and that Muppet is a silly and playful, long-legged malti-poo. We weigh ten pounds each and are amazingly fun to be around.
Now for my best friend, Muppet. Mom says he is a sweet little guy that he has the cutest ways about him. He loves to snuggle in your arms and around your neck whenever he gets the chance. Muppet also loves his little bones and chew toys. Mom says he does have one trait that will make you smile. You see Muppet likes to hide bones and toys everywhere and knows how, and where, to find them. (He says you can never have too many bones for a rainy day!) Muppet is smart, entertaining and really good figuring out how to get attention — and I have the personality and adoring looks that will melt anyone’s heart the first time they meet me.
So if you are interested in meeting the two of us, (please know that we will only be adopted together) please first send an email indicating your experience and history with young pups. If there is an alignment between what you share and what we need, a volunteer will be back in touch to ask you to complete an adoption application. You may send that email to 
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!
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!
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!
