Here's what the humans have to say about me:
Hi New friends,
My name is Davey but you can call me cuteness, cuddle bug or Mr. Adorable! I’m an incredibly appealing and shy little bichon of about two who weighs 10 ½pounds and comes in an incredibly cute package! I have a sweet face to match my sweet spirit and, according to my foster Mom, the most beautiful and expressive brown eyes she has ever seen.
Dad says I’m pretty much housebroken and I’m very gentle. I like to go for walks and am learning about riding in the car. Dad also wants you to know that I am blossoming more and more every day (Silly Dad! I’m not a flower!) and that I respond 1000% to human kindness. I appreciate every (good) thing that happens for and to me. Although I can be a little cautious at first when I meet people I soon warm up and will be the best of friends. While I get along with other dogs and even those funny creatures called cats, it is to my Foster Mom that I’m truly bonded. She has given me the first kind of security and love that I have ever known.
Every day is filled with new experiences for me. You see, I’ve never had a real home until now. Before I became a furkid I was kept outside and didn’t get the human attention or food that a guy like me needs to thrive. I was covered with painful mats and was very sad. When people did come out to see me, they weren’t very kind — so when the gate was left open, I decided to try my luck in the big world. Life on the street was hard and to make a long story short, I found myself at a loud, scary shelter.
Thank goodness, My Aunties at Bichon Furkids came to the rescue. Those painful mats were shaved off (but that’s OK, because my beautiful white coat is already starting to grow back!) and I now live in a loving foster home with people who care for me and teach me all sorts of new things. I have a warm bed and get all the food I need. Life as a furkid is GREAT!
My very favorite thing in the world is to be with my people. Mom says I am a sweet and happy guy who just yearns for attention and someone who will continue to help me work through my separation anxiety. Dad says in a gentle and loving home, I will become the best little pup in the world. (I especially appreciate all the nice things Mom and Dad say about me and how kind they are!) I need somebody to give me lots of love – and I give it right back too. I’m a special and loyal bichon who is longing to make someone very happy.
So if you are an adult home or one with older children looking for a happy, sweet, playful (and most of all lovable!) little guy, and if you are patient and gentle and have another furkid or two to show me the ropes, then I may be your new best friend. Please ask for me so we can meet.
My Ideal Home will include:
*Someone who is home most of the time
*Someone willing to help me with my separation anxiety
*Another dog around my age and size
*An active, playful dog
*Adults or adults with kids over 10
Experience level:
*Had dogs as an adult
*Recent or current dog experience
*(Rescue dog experience a plus)
Love and tail wags,
Dear, Darling, and Devoted Davey
