Here's what the humans have to say about me:
Hello Friends!
My name is Vincent van Gogh, but my friends call me Vinnie. I’m a little love bug of a guy and a true masterpiece! I’m a small one year-old male bichon who weighs a mere 10 lbs. She says I’m a very affectionate, adorable and happy little bichon who just wants to be loved for the sweet guy that I am.
Mom says I am fantastic with other dogs, young and old. But being with my “person” is my favorite thing in the world -- and I am happiest when playing with you or snuggling up in your lap. I love taking walks, riding in the car and playing run-and-chase. I am almost housebroken and Mom says I get better every day as I learn my surroundings. I am very smart, so I should be completely trained in no time.
I’m a real cuddle bug and my foster doggy brother and sister think I’m really smart. (So does my Mom!) They say that I’m inquisitive and that I want to please.
If you look at my picture you’ll see a cute little face. What you may not know is why I was named for famous artist. Someone who once owned me cut my ear flaps very short - sometimes it looks like I don’t have any (but I do.). My Mom says that I am so adorable that you won’t even notice my short ears when my hair grows longer. And I can hear fine – just call me and watch me run to be with you!
Please complete our application at www.bichonfurkids.org/applications and ask for Vinnie. I am ready to find my "forever home," so I can start spending starry, starry nights with my very own forever family.
