Hello Everyone!

My name is Cuddly, Charismatic and Carefree Charlie — and I’m a bichon sweetheart of 16 pounds and two years old 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 a 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!

And I’m Archie, a sweet, family-loving and good natured little puppy of seven months – about 13 pounds of love with a great personality and a happy smile. While I’m not ‘xactly a bichon, I am a darling little guy who doesn’t shed. I have a cream colored coat, apricot colored ears, am almost fully grown and am a mix of doxy, probably cocker and cuteness.

You see, (this is Charlie speaking) Archie and I got together and decided that we were a perfect match. We both like to play, run, fetch – and cuddle! We are housebroken, learning commands, LOVE to go for rides in the car and (of course!) lots of walks!! So many people asked about us individually but didn’t have a pup that was the right energy and fun level… so we met and it was perfect!

We are both sweet and fun to have around. We both like to run and sun in the yard, enjoy the company of kids and adults and certainly enjoy one another. So we are now a bonded pair who will bring great joy and happiness to anyone who adopts us.

We both always wag our tails to show that we’re happy – plus we are loyal and friendly! And while we do everything well there is one thing we do exceptionally well: we are the perfect companions!

So if you are looking for happy, fun-loving, energetic and sweet little guys who love to cuddle and play please fill out an application as we are waiting to meet you.

Looking forward to be your very best friends,

Charming, Cute and Compatible Charlie and Adorable, Affectionate and Affable Archie

Hello People!

My name is Blissful Bogey and I’m a beloved bichon who is 13 pounds of love and fun. My foster Mom says I’ve got a spring in my step and a wag of my tail for everyone I meet! I have big soulful eyes that look into your soul – and melt your heart. I’m also known for having a calm way about me. But that doesn’t mean I’m a couch potato. No siree! Mom says when I get up in the morning I’m like a young colt who wants to gallop. Then I settle into a more relaxing routine.

And did I mention that I’m well behaved, eager to please and love attention? (Mom says that proves I’m a true bichon and she smiles when she says that!) You see, I’m a man of the world, about 11 or 12, who is known for loving his walks, enjoying his belly rubs and being a GREAT companion.

While I enjoy the company of other fluffs like myself, I’m also ready to be the center of someone’s world. My BFK Aunties say my heart beats for love and attention and I also enjoy the company of other small pups. They make me feel safe and wanted!

Mom says I have all the charms of a Bichon. That said, I suppose I should mention that I am, of course, housebroken, cuddly and enjoy rides in the car. I love all the things that Bichons do: walks, treats, cuddles, and naps. And in return for all those good things I am a wealth of quiet affection.

Before I became a FurKid I lived with a couple. We thought we would grow old together – but they grew old and didn’t maintain their health. So they went to a place called Heaven and the family took me to a place called a shelter. It was there that I languished and wondered if I would ever find a person of my own again… and then I got lucky and became a FurKid.

So if you are looking for the bestest buddy in the world, I’m applying for the job! Please complete our adoption application so we can get together. I’ll meet you with my tail wagging, ready to go on my next adventure!

Kisses and tail wags,

Blissful, Beloved and Blessed Bogey

Hello People!

My name is Bree and I’m a beautiful, sweet and loving little Bichon girl of one (year that is.) My foster Mom says I’m 15 pounds of love in a very cute package.

Mom says that if I had a theme song it would be “Girls just want to have fun!” I cannot contain my joy for life! When I walk, I actually leap by Mom’s side. And wherever I go I’m quite the hit, as I’m very social. With new people I can be a bit shy initially but that passes quickly. I’m also equally comfortable with men or women and truly love both my foster parents.

I’m such a happy and fun-loving pup that everyone wants to play with me. I’m great with other dogs, both big and small. I truly LOVE to play with my doggy foster brother and he loves to play with me, too! At the beach I love to run and have an amazing time! You can tell that I adore being with other young pups like myself and enjoy their company! Life as a FurKid is really great!

Did I mention that I’m a lover and a snuggler? I like to snuggle with people (Mom and I do that really well!) – and I like to snuggle with my toys. Mom says I’m the world’s best snuggler. Don’t I sound irresistible?

I’m smart, VERY loving, devoted and want to please. I mastered the doggy door easily, love to go on my walks and also love to go for car rides (I’m just terrific in the car). Why there is probably no better company when you have to do something than me. I’m the perfect pup for that “job”!

I’m a sweet, dear little bichon who is so grateful to be rescued, deserves a GREAT home, and will make some lucky family very happy! And, by the way, if you want to spell my name, it’s B is for Beguiling, R for Respectful, E for Expressive and E for Excellent. I’m all of these things in abundance (plus we need an S for Snuggly!)

Your friend-in-waiting

Beautiful and Bouncy Bree

Hello World!

My name is Biscotti and I’m 13 pounds of cuteness and about 5 years old. My foster Mom says I’m spirited, loving, playful, loyal and very energetic! I’m amazing at playing fetch (I can play with my squeaky toys for hours!), give lots of puppy kisses in the morning and am known for my Bichon Buzz. (By the way I can throw my squeaky toys in the air while I’m buzzing. That’s quite amazing, don’t you think?)

Dad says I’m really smart! I’m housebroken, love to ride in the car and already know commands like “Sit”, “Stay” and “Paw” (He says that when he wants me to shake my paw.) Dad says I love my crate (he calls it a box) and sleep contentedly in it all through the night or chill out when he or Mom have to leave the house. I’m not destructive nor do I howl while you are gone because my crate is my safe place.

While I’m good with all people generally it does take me some time to get to know people initially. Older children are fine. I just don’t like being picked up by younger children or strangers (until I’m comfortable, that is.) Once I am, we can have a lot of fun because I’m very active and a LOT of fun! Mom says PRLONGED EXERCISE is “my thing”. I will need a family that will play with me as that what makes me happiest. And I also need a family that will keep working with me on boundaries – no nipping and no taking other dogs food. I’m responsive and easily corrected, but it does need to be done consistently.

Mom and Dad said I have built a special relationship with my doggy foster sister. She has a calm personality and is very confident. She is always willing to play with me when I want to — but also tells me when she is “done”. Mom says given how high energy I am, I would do best in a home with a very active family and a confident and happy doggy friend who likes to play. I may be only five years old but I’m very much a puppy at heart.

I’m currently in my foster home in Southern California but may be moving to Northern California very soon.. So, if I sound like the right pup for you, please complete an application using the button below. I’ll look forward to hearing from you.

Bichon wags and kisses,

Breezy and Bright Biscotti

Hello People!

My name is McDreamy — and I’m appropriately named as I’m a dream of a pup. I have big brown eyes that look deeply into your soul, a soft white coat (with black tipped ears) and an adorable smile. I love belly rubs, snuggles, walks and rides in the car. If you want to learn more about me, please read on!

Let’s start with my ‘vitals’: I’m two years old, weigh 8.3 pounds and I’m a Bichon mix. If you want to know what I’m mixed with, it’s with cuteness. I have hair (not fur) and Mom says I’m a sweet and happy cuddlebug. (Silly Mom. I’m not a bug, I’m a puppy!)

Now you are probably wondering how an adorable little guy like me ended up in rescue. Well, the short version of my story is that my former owners had a baby and no longer wanted or needed me. That’s hard to believe— and I certainly was surprised! They took me to this scary place called a shelter and boy! was I anxious to get out of there. Auntie Marti got a call and soon my amazing Foster family jumped in their car and brought me to my foster home. Whew!

The experience of being abandoned by my family has left me with what Mom calls separation anxiety. Even though I have a doggy foster brother, and I love having him nearby, I really want to know and be where my people are! As I become more confident that I’m not being abandoned my anxiety will go away. In the meantime, please know that I’m in the process of ‘overcoming’! I need my forever family to take the time to earn my trust, rather than expecting me to jump into their laps and lick their faces.

You should also know that I am a well-mannered young man who loves people. Most of all, I just love to be petted. I’ve mastered the ability to flop on my back so anyone who wants to can rub my belly. Of course that makes me happier than words can say! Mom says that the cutest thing I do is curl up in her lap, look up at her with my (Mc)Dreamy eyes and then fall asleep while she pets me.

Because I am a young guy, I need exercise, love and training (I’m learning commands already and showing my family how smart I am!). I’d love to be with my forever family so we could learn new things together — because my favorite thing in the world to do is to please.

So if you are looking for a sweet little guy who loves to play, has that adorable puppy curiosity, is affectionate, has lots of love to give, AND YOU MEET ALL THE CRITERIA ABOVE, then look no further! I’m the guy you’ve been waiting for!

Wags and kisses,

McHappy, McSweety, McDreamy

Hello World!

My name is Adorable Archie and I’m just about the happiest and handsomest bichon you will ever meet. Now I’m not bragging – that’s what Mom tells everyone. She says that I’m a very active, playful and social bichon boy of one – and that I’m 26 pounds of love all wrapped up in a cuddly package (Silly Mom! I’m a FurKid, not a package).

Dad says I’m just a guy who loves all humans and all other dogs! I love to play and I love to run. I love to be petted and enjoy full body “massages”. In fact I will lie on my back even for strangers (well, I never really met a ‘stranger’) until they pet me. And did you know I also like to watch TV? Mom says I “make conversation” because I get engaged with the other dogs I see on TV!

I think walks are the bestest fun (Mom says I’m great on a leash and also that I’m very strong!) and rides in the car are pretty neat, too! I’m housebroken and working on my commands. I already know several commands (like ‘Come, ‘Sit’ and ‘Stay) and I’m easy to train because I am treat motived.

After a hard day playing, racing, snuggling and responding to commands, I sleep nicely all night long Mom and Dad are teaching me that there is nothing better than a lap to sit on and a family to love — and that home is the best place to be.

All in all I’m quite the package and I’m ready to find my forever family. So if you have another young active furkid like me who has been waiting for a doggy brother to play with (If you don’t have one, do not apply!), you like to go for walks and rides in the car, have a secure yard for me to explore and enjoy then I might be ‘the one’ for you. And there is no doubt that I will be the most loyal and loving of companions.

Tail wags and happy smiles,

Amazing, Adorable and Amicable Archie
