My story

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

Hey everybody,
I’m Dempsey the darling! I am between one and two years old and as cute as I can possibly be. I am a whopping 7 pounds of wriggly, wiggly happiness -- and there is nothing that I would love better than being with you.

I am very eager to please and I love my toys! I throw them up and catch them, but sometimes my ring toy gets stuck on my nose and I have to wrestle it off which makes Mom laugh at me. (She says I am hilarious to watch!) I am teething so I like to chew, but I only chew my toys ‘cause I am a very good puppy.

When Mom picks me up I snuggle so close and cling to her so tight she says it feels like I will never let go. I just love being held, it makes me happy and warm inside.

I love to do the Bichon Buzz with my foster sister, and I love all grown-up people. When little people rush towards me it scares me – so I hide. I also get frightened sometimes when we are taking our late evening walk. There are spooky sounds outside. So I nuzzle up real close to my Dad and he protects me until we can get home where it is safe. Dad says I am very brave in the car though. In fact, last week we went for a long trip in an RV and I had a really good time.

Both Mom and Dad say I am really smart. I have already learned to sit and can remember where I bury things -- and I respond to phrases that I recognize. I watch my foster doggy siblings and learn from them.

I am just an adorable bundle of fluffy love who dreams of my own forever family that I can grow with. Please complete an application at www.bichonfurkids.org/applications so you can choose me.

Xoxoxo
Dempsey the Darling
