My story

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

Hello People,
My name is Linus and I’m a darling little maltese boy of about seven. I am very independent, self sufficient yet loving (Mom says that is a wonderful combination) – an easy guy to have around, I get along with people and dogs – and even Mom’s two cats – but I don’t need to have someone around all the time because I can be so self sufficient.

Mom says I have a quiet kind of energy, a loving heart and that I am smart. I enjoy my foster home and yard – and just LOVE to go for rides in the car! I am housebroken (she says I learned very fast and want to please) and I’m mellow. My favorite thing to do, besides rides in the car, is to go for walks. Want to check out the neighborhood or a nearby park – or maybe that outlet mall? If it involves walking or going for a ride, then I’m your guy!

I am very well behaved, a good little eater and a selective cuddler. Mom says I'm not the kind of guy to spend hours in your lap cuddling… but I will join you for a snuggle now and then, just to be near someone I enjoy.

As you can see from my picture, I'm small and very handsome! I'm not a barker but will let you know if someone comes to the door. I never growl or act aggressive. The most important thing for you to know is that I’m mellow and independent. And I can be left alone for extended periods of time and not become anxious.

If I sound like the kind of guy for you, please complete our application at www.bichonfurkids.org and ask for Linus, 'cause I'll be waiting to hear from you.

Love,
Linus the Lion-hearted
