Hello People!
I’m Demi, a darling little girl of about three who, according to my Mom, is just plain adorable. Mom says that good things come in small packages and at only 9 pounds I’m a darling little ‘package’.
There are lots of things that I do that are just plain cute. For example, I get so excited when Mom wants to take me for a walk, or give me a treat, that I literally hop up and down. Then there’s this really cute thing I do with the doggy stairs. Instead of going “up” the stairs like most pups, I “back” up them. And when I sit on the doggy stairs I put my front feet on a lower step than my back feet (I really am comfortable that way, honest!) Oh and I also hop like a bunny on my walks and I love to run, too!
Before I became a FurKid, life was very different. I was on the street for a while then in someone’s back yard. I had some doggy buddies which helped but very little interaction with people. About a year ago I was “rescued” by people with good intentions. They put me in the first of two foster homes with people that worked all day. I got to hang out with the dogs that were there which was fine but didn’t do well with the people. So I got moved to a different foster home and it was the same situation. Shortly after that the people in that rescue group moved and all of the pups, like me, needed to find another rescue to help them. Well I was one of the lucky ones because I became a FurKid!
Once I got to my foster home I found a Mom and Dad who do not work outside the home and a doggy foster brother who is a senior guy (but I try every day to get him to play with me anyway.) It took me about a week but I decided my Mom is a really nice lady and I started to be comfortable around her. I let her take me on walks and rides in the car (I’m very good on both) but I still don’t let her pick me up.

My Ideal Home:
- A woman (or women) home most of the time
- Another active, playful dog around my age
- Another dog to show me the ropes
- No men
- No Kids (I’m just too fearful)
Experience Level:
- Recent experience with an active pup a plus
- Rescue dog experience
- Experience with behavioral training
My wish of all wishes is for a special someone who is very kind, patient and willing to work with me so that I can become the little girl I was always meant to be. When that wish comes true I’ll be the happiest little FurKid alive.
Because I have a number of on-going needs, if you are a woman (no gentlemen please!) who has a young small-ish FurKid currently and is interested in potentially submitting an application to adopt me, please first send an email indicating your background and a little about your FurKid to bfkapplicants@gmail.com. If there is an alignment between what you describe and what I need, a volunteer will be back in touch to ask you to complete an adoption application.
I wish. I wish.
Darling and Dainty Demi
My name is Lovable Laddie and my Aunties want me to introduce myself because I’m a pretty spectacular pup. Now I’m absolutely not bragging (I would never, ever do that) however everyone that meets me says so!
If you look at my pictures you will note that I have kind and expressive brown eyes that look straight into your soul. I’m a very sweet and gentle guy who will let anyone pet me (when Mom says it’s ok!) and love to kiss everyone too! At my human grandma’s house there is this big, bouncy puppy who is a bit ‘over the top’. I made sure that my Mom was okay with his bouncy-ness and was ready to protect her if she needed me. Mom said it was very sweet that I was ready to come to her rescue (since she came to mine!)
I am happy romping around playing with doggie toys or snuggling with Jodie. I also like to try to wrestle with my doggy foster sister. Dad says sometimes it’s a three ring circus at our house. Mom says that Jodie and I like to play with one another and that I’m the “initiator. She says that when we are finished with all that ‘play stuff’, we lie down quietly and take a nap together- happy to have worn off some of our puppy energy!)
Dad says I’m more of the “explorer dog” type – and that the back yard is a perfect place for me to do that. He says that both of us like to hang out in his office while he works (and we snuggle) then we give doggy kisses because both of us LOVE to be with people!) Oh and there is something REALLY cute that we both do! (Well, there are actually LOTS of cute things we do but (drum roll please!) we like to watch dogs on TV! We will sit for minutes on end to watch any dog that happens to be on any channel. We cock our heads and listen for all we are worth (and that’s a lot!) Mom and Dad think that we are super smart, too.
Now for my sister, Jodie…Mom says she is a sweet little angel and that she has the cutest ways about her. If you sit down to read a book or watch TV, Jodie will curl up next to you and stay there forever. Dad says that Jodie has a very sweet and playful spirit – and if you meet her in person, you will fall in love with her big brown eyes and all they communicate. Well, I think she’s pretty cute too but I don’t know that her eyes are more expressive than mine, Come on now, Dad.
When Bichon FurKids found us we were pretty scared, very skinny and were terribly matted as well. We had somehow survived living on the streets- despite how little we are! Now Jodie and I are brave, not scared, and our hair is growing back beautifully (after being shaved quite a bit). We are drinking good water and eating good food! (Mom says no table scraps) and we have a yard to run and sun in and doggy foster siblings to play with if we choose. And we are smart and SO want to please! We mastered the doggy door already and know to go outside to do our ‘business’, then come in and sit nicely for a treat!
