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
I purchased my pet, Sunny, from a pet shop 16 years ago. He is 16 and has brought much joy and laughter into my life. Sunny is a bichon frise with a personality that's truly one of a kind. When looking for a new home for him, I hope to find someone to give him plenty of cuddles and affection. If I could describe Sunny in a few words, I would say he is playful, gentle, and loving. He loves snuggling and being close to you. He has been such an incredible companion, and I hope his next chapter is filled with as much love and happiness as he has given me.

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
You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website.Meet Arlo: The Life-of-the-Party Bichon Frise Mix! Arlo is a 5 year old Bichon mix with a personality as big as his heart. This little guy has been through a lot, but his zest for life shines brighter than ever. We couldn't let his story end in heartbreak, so we stepped in to give Arlo the second chance he so deserves. Arlo is fiercely loyal and incredibly smart - he's a people pleaser who thrives on love and structure. While his devotion is heartwarming, it's also landed him in a bit of trouble in the past. His resource guarding behavior, particularly when it comes to claiming his favorite person's lap, means Arlo needs an experienced owner who can set firm but loving boundaries. With guidance and training, we believe Arlo can learn to share his world with others. To set Arlo up for success, he's looking for a child-free home where he can be the star of the show. While he may prefer to be the center of your attention, Arlo's quirky, funny side will steal your heart. He's known for breaking into spontaneous zoomies that will leave you laughing and remind you that life - just like Arlo - should always be celebrated. If you're ready to give Arlo the structure and love he needs, he'll repay you with endless laughs, cuddles, and a lifetime of loyalty. Apply here to meet Arlo and find out if this funny, spirited underdog is the perfect match for you!Visit this organization's web site to see any additional information available about this pet.January 21, 2025, 12:11 am

Story
Rusty is a very friendly boy who is always happy! He walks with a bounce in his step and has a constant wagging tail! He loves people and always wants to be the center of attention! If you're looking for a little shadow and a lap dog, you've found your guy! Rusty won't leave your side! He enjoys being held like a baby and will fall asleep in your arms. If you stop petting him, he will paw at you for more! We would love to find him a family where someone is home often. He wouldn't enjoy being alone for long periods of time. He gets along with other animals but has no interested in playing with anyone else. He would honestly prefer to be the only pet so he doesn't have to share any of the affection but, if you have a quiet, independent dog, he would do fine! Rusty is only with us because his previous owner passed away. He was loved and we can tell! He is approx 6 to 7 years old and about 10lbs. He is neutered, vaccinated and microchipped. We haven't had him long, but he appears to be housebroken because he hasn't had any accidents in the house! He is also crate trained but would prefer to be free if possible. He loves car rides and going for walks, but must wear a harness because he will pull until the collar makes him cough! If you're interested in adopting Rusty, please submit an adoption application on our website at www.dominoeffectanimalrescue.orgJanuary 19, 2025, 9:26 pm
