My story

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

Hello Everyone,
My name is Jax although my foster Mom also calls me Jacky. I’m a four year old Cavachon who needs a very experienced and savvy adopter. I’m more than just a gorgeous boy so please read my bio carefully. Because I am a “cutie patootie”, I have attracted a lot of interest however my BFK Aunties and foster Mom are going to be very selective as to who gets to meet me.

I’m a fairly quiet and reserved pup around other dogs and new people. Once I am comfortable with you, I can blossom and become a wiggly and happy little guy. It takes time, however, to earn my trust. In my short life, and before I became a FurKid, I lived in two different homes. There was no structure or consistency in my life so I had to fend for myself. I often retreated to any quiet place I could find – away from all the activity and commotion. A home with a loving and patient adopter is what I need in order to become the friendly and cuddly pup I am in my soul.

My foster Mom says I will definitely choose my human and can then become a wonderful and gentle companion. I’m not the kind of pup you can take to an office as that would not work for me. I also cannot be crowded or smothered with love --or expected to automatically be your best friend.

My Ideal Home

*My very own special person or couple

*An active person or a couple as long as they are home most of the time

*No other dogs and NO children

*No frequent visitors

Experience level:

*Have had dogs as an adult

*Rescue dog experience

*Savvy --and understand dog communication

So if you are looking for a companion to share your life, keep you active, are patient and committed to helping me become the bestest little guy I can be, please complete an application and we will be in touch.

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.
