Hello World,
My name is Darling Danny Boy –and I’m so pleased to meet you. Now, I’m not exactly an Irish lad despite me name (oh! silly me!) I’m a gorgeous little bichon pup of about two who tips the scales at not quite 9 pounds and has quite a story to share.
You see, before I became a FurKid, I led a rather difficult life. I didn’t get to meet people or other pups and was pretty isolated. I probably lived outside (as I was very matted and full of burrs and sticks), didn’t know about toys — or the joys of running, chasing, walking on a leash or riding in a car.
Well, I’m catching up now! I have an amazing doggy foster sister who is willing to teach me lots of things and a foster Mom who takes us to the dog park every morning. When we are there I get to meet other dogs, from the big German Shepherd to the little Chihuahua. I’m always calm and friendly whenever any of the dogs approach me. And I’m good with people wanting to pet me, too. (They usually can’t resist as I’m so little and cute!) I also let the children pet me, although I don’t seek them out.
While I did not know any commands when I first came to my foster home, I quickly learned my name. Then, to show Mom how smart I am, I also learned a few more, namely “sit”, “paw”, and “touch”. (And another thing you might like: I can also pee on command during my walk).
Did I mention that I LOVE riding in the car? I would jump in by myself if I could! I love the feel of the breeze on my face however my favorite spot is sitting calmly on my person.
My human Grandma says I have the silkiest hair she has ever felt and that my new hair is coming in soft and white. She’s quite pleased that I’m housebroken and wants you to know that I’m crate trained too .
Best of all I have this special doggy foster sister who is a very confident and charismatic pup. She has taken me under her wing (well, more like her paw), and I’m more relaxed when she’s around to show me what to do. (Thanks, Ruby.) Mom says having a confident canine sister (or brother) helps me to feel more secure –and that’s a very good thing. Each day I become more confident– so my Forever Home needs to have a fluffy buddy to help me be the little guy I was always meant to be.
My Ideal Home:
*Someone home most of the time
*Another active, calm, confident and smallish dog around my age
*Another dog to show me the ropes
*Adults or a family with older children
Experience level:
*Have had dogs as an adult
*Recent/current dog experience a plus
So, if you have a kind heart, a FurKid who is mellow and confident and has been waiting for a doggy brother to train, and if you like to go for walks and rides, please ask for me. I’m applying for that job. I’m a little guy with tons of promise. When you look into my beautiful brown eyes, you will know that I’m becoming the amazing pup I was born to be.
Tail wags and cuddles,
Darling and Devoted Danny Boy
