Here's what the humans have to say about me:
Hi People,
My name is Tipper and I’m a one year old sweetheart of a bichon, I’m a cuddler and a lover, a kisser and a tail wagger… just a darling little guy who is great with other dogs and children. My foster mom says I’m a very sweet little bichon boy with a big heart, eyes that follow you everywhere and a sparkling personality! She says I am very playful -- and that there is no doubt that I am VERY smart! I am housebroken and even go to the door to tell you it’s time to go out. You see, I already learned how to figure things out – and I like to get approval for my newfound skills. In other words, I want to please!
Dad says I am a good listener and a great companion! I like to be wherever he or Mom is – and where my doggy foster brothers are, too, but I am never intrusive. If I can lie nearby, that is fine. If I can be in someone’s lap… well that is even better!!! Mom says that with a pack of dogs I am submissive to the pack leader however I am confident and secure in who I am and get along well with everyone!
When Bichon FurKids found me I had been hit by a car and needed surgery. Well, Mom says to tell you I came through that with flying colors and have almost fully recovered. I’m learning to put more and more pressure on my back leg and soon I’ll be able to run and go for long walks! The doctor says I healed well and am as ‘good as new.’ I don’t know what that means but I sure feel perky and happy!
Dad says that I am a great rider (in the car, that is!) and that I love to go anywhere with him where I can meet people. He says I love everyone and am very sweet natured. They both say that I do everything well. I would be happiest in a home with a doggy brother or sister---and with a family that is home a lot. And if my family could take me on lots of walks and give me belly rubs, I would think I was in heaven. (That and cuddling a lot, too!) I am just a happy, fun-loving and sweet little creature who never complains, loves to give doggy kisses and has a giving heart.
If I sound like the kind of fur kid that you are looking for, please fill out an application at www.bichonfurkids.org/application as I am waiting to meet you.
