Here's what the humans have to say about me:
Hello Friends,
My name is Coco and I’m an eighteen month old sweetheart of a bichon. I’m a cuddler and a lover, great with other dogs, adults and children. My foster mom says I’m a very fun-loving, obedient little guy – and that I never met a person I don’t like. Mom says I’m very playful (you can ask my 70 pound foster doggy brother and Mom’s cat about that!) – and I REALLY like four-legged friends who are my own size, too!
Mom says that there is no doubt that I am VERY smart! I come when I am called and sit on command. She also says I’m a cute, sociable and a pretty confident little guy. (I’m not intimidated by size and can hold my own with bigger dogs.) Most of all I like to please my humans – and to get approval for newfound skills.
I am a good listener and a great cuddler! I like to be wherever Mom is – and when I find her I can almost always convince her to cuddle. And I love men! I stand on my hind legs to get a man to pay attention to me. Mom thinks it’s cause I know I’m a guy, too. She says I’m totally agreeable, not aggressive and I’m not needy.
I walk well on a leash and I also love the car. I like to sit positioned on the floor in the back seat, put my paws on the console between the seats and ‘ride’ the turns like a pro. (Mom suspects I have done this before!)
She says 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 to the dog park, I would think I was in heaven. (That and cuddling a lot, too!)
I am just a happy, fun-loving and energetic little creature who loves to cuddle and play and has a great big loving heart. If I sound like the kind of fur kid that you are looking for, please fill out an application at www.bichonfurkids.org/applications, as I am waiting to meet you.
