My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Hello People,
My name is Lively and Loyal Liam --and I’m a handsome, smart and sometimes sassy Bichon of four who is looking for my forever home. I’m one of those rare pups that can either be an ‘only’ pup (I truly love being with my special person) or I can be with another small pup like me. (I really don’t care for big dogs. They scare me!)

My foster Mom says I’m very intelligent (I know commands including come, stay, sit, down, dance (twirl your finger), go potty, down, and ball. In fact I will definitely become your new best friend if you play ball with me! My foster Dad says to tell you that I LOVE LOVE LOVE to play ball (did I mention that already? Well I truly do!), LOVE to go on walks, LOVE to ride in the car and LOVE treats. And I LOVE to be petted and will roll over for a belly rub any time and anywhere!

I’m all of 15 pounds, am housebroken (and use the doggy door!) and I love my crate. I do really well with structure as it makes me feel secure. I’m also known as the shadow. Mom says I will follow her (or you!) everywhere-- and I'm very vocal. I say that's because I’m a communicator! You see I have a lot of different sounds that I make to let you know how I feel. For example, I have this cute growl sound I make when I’m getting petted (Mom says it’s my happy growl) and another growl I make when the big dogs come by (which is my way of telling them to stay away) Mom and Dad know all of my sounds and can tell you all about them.

I love to cuddle on the couch, greet you with great enthusiasm (even if you only go to the mailbox) share everything you are doing with you and am a great watchdog. I will alert you if I hear anything outside, let you know the doorbell was rung or if there is a strange noise in the house. Dad says that’s very helpful. I’m not a barker though – just an 'alerter'.

While I am long on good looks and cute as can be, I’m also smart and a bit opinionated. I like to do what I like to do (which is why I need someone who is smarter than I am and will guide me into perfect behaviors.)Dad and Mom have been teaching me the proper way to behave in the world. And I need to continue my ‘training’ with someone who is a super smart and VERY savvy dog person.

My Ideal Home:
*Someone home most of the time
* NO other FurKids required-as I like to be the center of attention
* Adults only
* NO children or grandchildren
* Someone committed to continuing my training

Experience level:
*Recent dog experience a must!
*Rescue dog experience a plus!

I’d really like to be someone’s bestest and most loyal companion! I’m hoping to make up for lost time – and am looking for an adopter who will appreciate my intelligence and my affectionate nature – and will continue to work on my training so I can become the best pup that I can be. Mom says there is no doubt that I’m well worth the effort!

If I sound like the pup you are looking for please complete our adoption application. It will be a very special home to which I am adopted as I’m a very special kind of pup.

Tail wags and cuddles,
Lively, Loyal and Loving Liam
