Hi Everyone,

I’m Dexter, a delectable Havanese (mix) with white, black, brown and apricot cuteness who is 18 months young (or do I mean old?).  While the shelter did me no favors when they shaved me, my hair is growing in nicely and I’m still managing to steal hearts with my sweet personality. My foster Mom says her photos don’t do me justice — but when you meet me my happy disposition, loving and playful nature comes shining through!

Did I also mention that I am a lucky pup? Let’s start with why I am so lucky. Until recently I was living on the street, scavenging for food and safety. Then I found myself in the ‘shelter’ where I was surrounded by a lot of barking and noises that scared me. But then I became a FurKid! That meant I was safe and Boy! was I relieved—and lucky!

Mom says I’m an energetic, friendly, loving and smart little guy, capable on standing on my hind legs for an impressive amount of time. Dad says I love to play with my toys and am getting quite good at chasing the ball and (drum roll please!) returning it. I’m also very interested in having new experiences and there are lots of them for me every day: like seeing birds and bikes – and strollers. I have already met and like a 5 year old little human. Babies also intrigue me so I may bark at first but it’s because I don’t know what they are or if they want to play.

I get along with everyone and little pups like me are my favorites. Everyone can become my new best friend! Mom says I’m a perky and active little guy who is very smart and likes to learn. For example, I’m very good about going potty. I haven’t had any accidents since my foster mom is very good with my routine and commands. While I don’t have a doggie door like some FurKids I know I could master that pretty fast. I also know the ‘Come’ command already. Mom and I are working on ‘wait’ (so we can go out the front door together.) That’s the next one on my list!

I try to do lots of things that make Mom smile. How’s that for wanting to please? I love my walks! Of course, we can’t forget the ‘going for a ride in the car’ behavior. Well, let me tell you there is nothing more fun than riding in the car!

If you have a heart for an energetic, active and happy pup then we should definitely meet. I’ll make you proud of all that I can become now that I’m a FurKid. So if you want to be a super hero, please ask for me.

Cuddles and Snuggles,

Deserving and Delightful Dexter

Hello World!

I’m Lucky Logan and I’m about the most adorable big puppy you will ever meet. I’m a good natured, high energy, intelligent and loyal pup that doesn’t shed like my bichon ‘cousins’. I have a short undercoat and a more wiry top coat (which makes me suitable for people with allergies I’m told.)

At 9 months of age I’m almost full grown and weigh in at 25 pounds. When you first meet me you will be taken by my amazing hazel and gold flecked eyes, long lashes and a smile that will light a room. (Yes, I do smile!)

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!)

I’m good with other dogs (bigger are better as I may run over small ones inadvertently), LOVE to go for rides (I sit perfectly still to get my harness on) and walks! I’m into adventures and walking so I can learn more about the world! When Dad takes me out in public he says I have PERFECT manners! Why I don’t even bark. And to top that all off, I’m also a major cuddle bug!

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!)

At night I sleep in a crate but would really like to sleep in the Big People’s Bed. Because I’m “enthusiastic” I’m working on things like not jumping up on people like when Dad comes home from work (I do love to jump on and around the couch, then roll around and bark for attention!) Once I calm down my favorite thing to do is be your bestest and closest friend in the world.

Everyone who meets me agrees that I’m a total gem who will grow into an amazing dog. If I sound like the one for you, please complete our adoption application and we’ll be in touch!

Happily and enthusiastically yours,

Lithe and Lovable Lucky Logan

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
