My personality

My story

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

Curly Kew is very sweet, male, blue eyed Bichon, Approx. 8years old, 15 lbs, up to date on vaccines, and just had a dental cleaning last week! He is now ready to find his furever family!

He came to us from NYCACC as a stray about a month ago and he settled right into our fosters house and is just great with her dog. They play and cuddle and sleep together. They can also play fight and be rough and tumble.

He is almost 100% housebroken (as long as someone is there to take him out for potty several times a day)

He loves to walk, but can be leash reactive and bark at other dogs when out on walks. He is fine with dogs in the house or the yard when not on leash. A fenced in yard would be ideal. Someone that works from home, is retired or only works part time is preferred.

He would be a great only dog or good with another respectful dog as he gets along with our foster's dog but he doesn't like other dogs going near his food when he is eating so if you have another dog, best to feed them spaced apart or in separate rooms.

Their adoption process

Additional adoption info

Our adoption fees are $150 - $400. We do have a special program "Seniors for Seniors" that promotes placement of senior bichons in furever homes (Adoption fees are from $75 - $100).

Each adopter is required to complete an adoption application (either on-line, written or faxed). We will review the application and get back to applicants within one week if your application matches an animal we fell is a good fit for you. Because we are a network of volunteers, not all applications can receive a prompt response. If you do not hear back from us within one week, please note that your application may not be appropriate for that specific dog. Check our website again. All adopters should furnish a vet reference, groomer reference (if available). A home visit will be required. We do not ship dogs. Therefore, you have to be within driving distance of Northern NJ.

Go meet their pets

We do not have a shelter. Therefore, our pets have to be met via appointment. We do attend local pet adoption events in the NJ/NY metro area.

More about this rescue

We are a small group of rescue volunteers that branched-off from a Bichon Club when we realized there was a need to find homes for unwanted Bichons. Many of these little fluffs are homeless due to their marketing as "designer/hypoallergenic" toy dogs. When the dog does not meet all of the expectations or family situations/social hardships/health issues cause dogs to be relinquished, we assist in foster and vet care, and placement into a new furever home. Senior bichons are our specialty - educating the public that these little fluffs can live to 17 or 18 years old some even older.
