My personality

My story

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

Hi everyone!
I’m Petey, a darling little ball of fluff and fun who is 11 weeks old and weighs 5 pounds. We’re not quite sure what our pedigree is. I do have silky soft black and white hair so my foster Dad teasingly calls me Holstein. (Wait 'til you see how cute I am in person!) My foster mom says I’m a really fun-loving and energetic little bunny. (Did I say bunny – aw, gee! I am known for my ability to hop – and jump – so I guess that makes me bunny-like!

I love people – and I love other dogs. I also love to play (well, of course, I’m a puppy!) And while I do kind of walk, I definitely do bounce (Please check out my video to see me in action!) Oh and did I mention I am good in the car, learning to be potty trained (already!) and am lots of fun. Dad says I can be quite the entertainer.

My sister Patti and I became FurKids after someone dropped us at a shelter, without our mom. We were pretty scared but fortunately we didn’t have to stay there very long. Then our foster Mom and Dad picked us up and brought us to their home where there are several pups, including one that was a Momma! She is teaching us all about how to be the best little pups we can be.

And (this is an important ‘and’) I’m learning to be socialized. Mom and Dad have fostered many, many FurKids and say I really want to learn and to please! My hobbies include following Mom or Dad around, playing in the yard (I’m learning to play Fetch), sleeping in the sun and getting belly rubs. Oh, and I also love to snuggle.

So if you are active, have at least one active, fun-loving young furkid and looking for a cute, funny, energetic and loving little buddy that sounds and looks like me… please complete our application. And if you want to adopt two absolutely adorable pups who enjoy one another, well Patti and I would love to be adopted together.

Tails wags and puppy kisses,
Playful and Perky Petey

Their adoption process

1.
Submit Application

Our Adoption Procedure: We require a written application at www.bichonfurkids.org

2.
Approve Application

All applications are screened and responded to by an Applications Coordinator.

3.
Home Check

We require a home/yard safety check which is done with a checklist and photos due to COVID restrictions.

4.
Approve Application

Once approved, our Placement Volunteers get in touch then forward applications that appear to be a good fit to the foster parents

5.
Meet the Pet

They then contact adopters to schedule a virtual adoption visit prior to an adoption visit held outdoors in keeping with COVID requirements

Additional adoption info

Prospective adopters must complete an online application available on our web site. A volunteer then conducts a telephone interview to review the application, followed by requesting a home and yard safety check. Once that has been completed - and if the prospective adopter is approved -the Placement staff will talk with the approved adopter to provide information regarding pups in our foster program that may represent a fit. That will be followed by the foster Moms and Dads contacting the approved adopter to answer questions and schedule an adoption visit at the foster home.

We require an adoption contract for each furkid plus the adoption donation. The fee for pups over one year of age
is $400.00 and is tax-deductible. The adoption fee for our puppies is $500. Our dogs are spayed or neutered, microchipped and vaccinated when adopted and come with an 'adoption kit' which includes a bed, blanket, pillow, leash, collar, vitamins, toy and treats.

Donations beyond our adoption fee are also appreciated so that we can rescue and save more lives.

Go meet their pets

Our pets are all cared for in loving foster homes. While in foster care, the foster family ensures that they receive lots of tender loving care, have any medical needs addressed, get lots of exercise and training. This gives the foster family an opportunity to learn about each pup's personality so we can develop a bio that describes the furkid. In turn that knowledge enables us to better assist you in selecting a dog that will be the best fit for you and your family.

More about this rescue

Bichon FurKids Rescue focuses on Bichon Frises and Bichon mixes in need of forever homes. We rescue from local shelters, as well as provide services for pets who are surrendered directly to us. Our dogs are cared for in foster homes where they learn to be socialized, housebroken and to become part of a family. Our services are highly personalized - and we work directly with our volunteers to help rescued dogs successfully transition to new homes and lives.
