My story

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

Hello Everyone,
I’m Darby (but you can call me Dashing or Darling) and I’m a handsome and happy 14 month old Bichon who is also curious, sweet and affectionate. I’m also very attentive. When you talk to me, I cock my head and pay very close attention. (Mom has lots of things to say) and I really want to learn. It’s also important to me to please her and Dad, which is why I pay such attention to them.
Mom wants you to know that I am a friendly, loving and mannerly little guy! I’ve heard her say I’m an “adorable little puppy package.” I love, love, love to play – Mom says I have ‘high energy’! Give me a squeaky toy or a ball and I will play with it for a few minutes. Give me Mom’s fuzzy socks and I’m just as happy…even if she’s wearing them! I also like to sit in a lap and cuddle for a little bit, then I’m off and running! Dad says I’m the Energizer bunny, which is silly cuz I don’t look anything like a bunny! Image2
My other favorite 'toys' are my doggie foster brothers and sisters. My charm has finally won them over and we now play together and have a grand ole time!
Dad says that I love to learn and am VERY smart. I already learned several commands, come when I’m called and love to give kisses! I love car rides and want to see what’s going on. Dad says to tell you also that I enjoy going for my walks. And I’m working hard on being housebroken -- did I mention that I really want to please?
When I was first rescued I had never had a hair cut. You can imagine how long and matted my hair was! Well, my Aunties knew that my hair would grow back and be soft and silky. It's already starting to do that. And you can see from my cute little face When I was first rescued I had never had a hair cut. You can imagine how long and matted my hair was! Well, my Aunties knew that my hair would grow back and be soft and silky. It's already starting to do that. And you can see from my cute little face that I’m all bichon!
I would love to be in my forever home with my very own people and another furkid or two. I'd also love to go with my people wherever they go – and could be really good at something they call ‘agility.’ (Mom says that’s where I can show how very smart, graceful and agile I am.) So if my kind of home sounds like your kind of home, please fill out an application and ask for me!
Waiting to be yours,
Daring and Dashing Darby
