Story
This gentleman was almost lost to the world but we found him in time! He had such a diffcult adjustment to the shelter because he is blind and probably deaf, as well. He was circling his cage at night feeling lost and confused which caused sores on his tiny paws. We rescued him with the help of some fellow animal loving partners and now he is groomed, checked over thoroughly with our veterinarian and on the road to recovery and a safe, soft bed. He is an older fellow so he moves a bit slower than most but he is adjusting well and learning to navigate his new environment. ##2078823##

Story
Nicholas was pulled on the day of his euthenazia date.  He was not doing well at all at the shelter and was terrified.  But almost immediatley after coming to his foster home, Nicholas relaxed.  He slept in his bed all night relieved. Nicholas is dog and cat friendly. Nicholas is quiet and a very shy but is coming out of his shell day by day. Foster is working on socialization that will need to be carried over to new owners. Another dog in the home would be extremely helpful for Nicholas. He is fully vaccinated and neutered. It must be noted that Nick is "SPECIAL NEEDS".  He will not let you touch him.  You cannot walk him.  And grooming is quite the challenge.  If you can get past that he really is a perfect dog.   ##1897878##

Story
Jim is the best puppy for anyone who loves to get kisses and cuddle with a soft buddy. He is friendly and sweet, standing on his hind legs and jumping to get your attention. He’s curious and loves to chew on his squeaky toys and the occasional sock or shoe. So far, he barks at larger dogs, and needs to continue training to get comfy staying in a crate, develop good potty habits and become more relaxed and focused when on leash. Since he’s a bichon mix, he’s got those great breed qualities and he’ll also require regular grooming to keep his beautiful coat clean and ready for cuddling. He got along very well with a female chihuahua for a few days. He hasn’t yet been exposed to cats or other small household pets. He’s been friendly with every person he’s met, and guests have all remarked what a delightful little guy he is! With basic obedience and good canine citizen training, he would make a perfect therapy dog. If you're interested in Jim please fill out an application.

Story
Hello People, My name is Vivi and I’m a sweet and quite sassy little girl of five looking for a forever home. My foster Mom says I’m very loving and affectionate -- and as feminine as they come. I’m all of 12 pounds, am housebroken (and use the doggy door) and I love my crate. I even put myself to bed at night if I’m tired (but Mom lets me come in to the Big People’s Bed in the morning for a cuddle or two or three!) Dad says I’m a diamond in the rough. He and Mom are doing their best to teach me the proper way to behave in the world. I’m definitely making progress but will need to continue my ‘learning’ with someone who is a super smart and VERY savvy dog person. If that sounds like you, please read on! While I am long on (good) looks and cute as can be, I’m also pretty willful. 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.) I walk well on a leash and am learning to relax in the car. I do best on short drives and when I can listen to music. I do love to cuddle and am known for springing up into your lap to cuddle at the slightest provocation and wanting you to pet my head ( but only my head, please!). If you are lying on the sofa, I love to roll on top of you and make cute little "snorty" noises as I turn around. Unfortunately I’m not a pup that is good around children. If you have children or grandchildren that visit I’m not the one for you. Sorry! I’m an ‘adults-only’ kind of pup. Mom says before I became a FurKid I was adopted simply because I am cute. So I formed some bad habits that she is helping me to overcome. Since I’m smart, I’m definitely learning what to do and not do. I’m also a bit selective about making friends. I bark when people come to the door (Dad says I’m a great watchdog) but when I know someone, I’m much friendlier. I also guard my toys, which is why I’m best as the only pup in the house. My Ideal Home: *Someone home most of the time * NO other FurKids--as I like to be the center of attention * Adults only * NO children or grandchildren * Committed to training me Experience level: *Recent dog experience a must! *Rescue dog experience a plus! *Experience with behavioral training a real plus!!! Because I wasn’t successful in my ‘past life’ I’m hoping to make up for lost time – and am looking for adopters who will appreciate my femininity and my affectionate nature – and will continue to work on my training so I can become the best little girl that I can be. Mom says there is no doubt that I’m well worth the effort but you have to know my signals so that I can be successful. If I sound like the pup you are looking for please let us know. It will be a very special home to which I am adopted as I’m a very special kind of pup. If that sounds like you, please send an email explaining your experience and background to bfkapplicants@gmail.com If you sound like you represent a fit, we will be back in touch. Tail wags and cuddles, Vivacious, Intelligent and Very Independent Vivi

Story
Hello New Friends, My name is Cuddly and Carefree Carly --and I’m 11 pounds of affection in a cute little body. My Mom says I’m a friendly, fun-loving, and affectionate Bichon girl of nine (years that is) who is a ‘communicator’. I cock my head when someone talks to me and I listen very intently. I know a lot of words and what they mean! Anyone who meets me can tell that I’m outgoing and confident—and I love to entertain my people. In my early ‘youth’ I won all kinds of awards for my beauty (Please check out my award-winning photos.) I liked to strut around the ring and won the hearts of a lot of judges. In fact I have my fair share of medals and ribbons. After my ‘show days’ were over, I was adopted by a nice lady who loved to take me on lots of walks and rides in the car. And I REALLY LOVE my walks and rides!!! When we walked I would ‘strut my stuff’ like I did for the judges in the ring. And boy! can I strut! Unfortunately that lady recently got very sick and could no longer take care of me. When no one in the family wanted to help, they ‘set me free’ on a very busy street in Los Angeles. Let me tell you that was scary! But my original mom, a breeder, was notified so she immediately swooped in to rescue me. Mom said my hair was matted, my toenails were long and it had been quite a while since I was properly groomed. She shaved me down, trimmed my nails and showed me lots of love. Since then my life has returned to ‘normal.’ My hair is growing back in, I have run of the house (and the pack) and am once again the happy, friendly and outgoing pup I had always been. I suppose I should mention that I am housebroken and well-behaved. I am very friendly with all people and good with other dogs – but (drum roll please) I prefer to be the only pup in the home so I can once again be the center of someone’s world. My Ideal Home: * An active adopter who likes to walk and go places (I’m a ‘take me anywhere” Starbucks kind of girl) *Adults or a family would be great * No other dogs required Experience level: *Have had dogs as an adult *Recent/current dog experience a plus In return for all the good things I just described, I will shower you with love and affection. I am sweet natured, well trained, friendly, and quite energetic. If you like to go places and do things, then I’m your girl. And when we get home and you want to relax, I’m happy to cuddle. So if you are looking for a new best friend and companion, I’m applying for the job. Please ask for me by name and I’ll look forward to meeting you. Many kisses and cuddles, Cuddly, Confident and Carefree Carly
