Story
Archie is a 14 year old, neutered male bichon. He has lived with his brother, Jethro, for nearly his entire life. Archie and his brother LOVE one another, and we'd like to keep him and his brother together. Both Archie and Jethro are very sweet boys. They came from a very sad situation where the owners, who were quite devoted to the pair, both died. They were the grandparents of the family. After their deaths, the dogs were given to an uncle who promised to care for them. Unfortunately, he was sick with alcoholism. He would leave for days at a time, leaving them trapped in crates with no food or water and no way to escape or go outside for bathroom breaks. Luckily the family became aware of the situation fairly quickly and you can imagine the horrific site they were confronted with when they were able to gain access to the house and get the dogs. At this point, Archie and Jethro are safely in foster care. However, they are living in a home where there is a dog-aggressive dog. For this reason they have to remain separated. Everyone is doing their best to make the most of a less than ideal situation. The two boys have been groomed and have been fully vetted. Both have had their teeth cleaned under anesthesia. They each lost a couple of teeth, but only a couple, which is a tribute to the care they received while living with their original owners - the grandparents. Archie had two 'warts' removed - one from his ear & the other from his chin. They are both as happy as can be and doing great. Fully recovered at this point and ready to embark on a new adventure together. Are you their new family? Bichons can live 18-20+ years. Are you that special family, willing to take a chance on a pair of wonderful dogs who are just looking for a quiet household where they can spend their 'golden years'? If so, go to our website and fill out an adoption application. They are very friendly, low-key boys. Not high-maintenance or needy at all. Just very appreciative to be in a good home where they are getting regular attention, regular meals and regular access to a fenced yard for exercise and bathroom breaks. If you'd consider adopting these two boys and giving them a home for their golden years, complete an application on our website: www. dvbr. org and someone will be in touch once we have had a chance to review it to set up a visit at which time you can meet the two boys.
