Finley

Hello World!

I’m Fabulous Finley, a darling bichon puppy who is six months old and as cute as I can be! My foster Mom says I am the most affectionate little guy you could ever hope to meet. I like to meet new people (I’m admittedly a lover!) and especially love other dogs.  Give me an opportunity to play (more on that in a minute) and I’m your guy!

I’m a smart little guy, almost housebroken and eager to learn what is expected of me.  There are so many things that I do well already and, like most puppies, each day there are new things to experience. Did I mention that I’m smart, too? Let me tell you how I learned about those things called “stairs”. Well, I had (obviously) never seen them before and I was a bit distraught when my doggy foster siblings went up the stairs and left me behind! Initially I figured out how to go UP the stairs—however, it took me a while to learn how to go DOWN them. But I figured out a shortcut—sliding down the stairs on my tummy! It got the job done for a while until I learned I could go both UP and DOWN the stairs!

Now, back to toys. Did I mention that I love all toys– but I have a hard time deciding which one to play with first? Mom says my answer to that is that I try to play with all of them at the same time, going from toy to toy. They sometimes migrate outside to the yard because I want to keep my toys with me wherever I am! I also love laying on my back and flinging my toys around, until I accidentally launch one in the air and it lands out of reach.

I love walks and car rides. While I’m Mr. Social Butterfly at home, I’m a bit shy at the dog park but getting better each day. I am basically just a happy, playful, mischievous, friendly and cuddly puppy. I love chasing other pups and being chased by them. I guess you could say I’m “all puppy!”

My Ideal Home:

*Someone home most of the time
*Another YOUNG dog around my age and size
*Another active, playful dog
*Adults or a family
*Kids over 7

Experience level:

*Have had dogs as an adult
*Recent/current dog experience a plus
*Experience raising a puppy is a plus plus!

Oh, and one last thing! I love to give and receive affection. Sometimes I will come up to Mom and lay my head on her knee. After a quick head massage, I then go back to playing with my toys. When I’m sleepy, sometimes I like to be held. When Mom is holding me, I look up, put my head on her chest, and close my eyes for a nap. And when I’m sleeping and I have a good dream I make these cute little squeaky noises! So if you are looking for a sweetheart of a bichon, who is cute, friendly, playful and very loving then look no further. Just complete our application– and let’s get together.

See you soon.

Finley, the Friendly and Fabulous Bichon
