Here's what the humans have to say about me:
Hi Everyone,
My name is Joyous Jeffy but you can call me Munchkin, Cuteness or Mr. Adorable.! I’m an incredibly appealing little bichon boy of five or six who tips the scales at only 10 pounds. I also look up at you with my big brown eyes very attentively, then one of my ears flops up, then the other ear and Mom starts singing the “Hokey Pokey” song. Oh silly me and silly Mom! Well, I guess you get the picture that I’m a darling little guy who comes in one adorable package.
I’m a good natured little pup who loves to snuggle against your body when you pick me up. Dad says I win the blue ribbon for cuddling (Thanks Dad, I wasn’t even trying) But that’s not all I do. When it’s time for an adventure in the car, I am ready to go!. I keep very busy watching the world go by. I tell Mom and Dad that I’m happy to be their companion and to go along for a ride!
In addition to cuddling and going for rides, I also love to go for walks. I’m such a small guy that I’m not at the point where I can go for long distances yet, but I get lots of practice. I also use the doggy door, am learning commands (like ‘sit’ and ‘down’ and sleep quietly in the Big People’s bed all night long. Mom is also teaching me hand signals as my hearing is not as good as it used to be, even though I’m a young fella. Dad wants you to know that I am “cat friendly”. (Of course I am because the cat’s friendly to me!) Actually (and this makes quite a picture) after a busy day cuddling, and walking, I like to lie down next to the kitty and take a nap. Now I ask you, how many pups do you know that do that? Mom says that’s pretty special!
I really want to please – and am very curious about the world. You see the way I became a furkid was quite unusual. I was wandering around and found this yard that sheltered me so I kind of crawled up quietly under the steps and was safe. A lady who lived in the house found me there and decided to feed me. That felt pretty good to me as I had been scavenging for food for ‘a while.’ She had two female dogs in her house so she wouldn’t let me inside, but said I could stay outside and she would feed me. And so she did for about two weeks. Then she got ready to move to a place called “Northern California” so I couldn’t stay under her steps any longer. And that’s when my luck changed again, and I became a FurKid!
So life is a lot better now! I know I am safe and will always have food to eat, a bed to crawl into, and people to care for me. Sometimes I forget and try to bury my meal so I can have it later, but Mom and Adam are working hard to help me realize that those days are gone. Mom says that I’m just a happy, joyful little guy who loves to play tug of war with the big Lab, play ball and take stuffing out of toys. I’m also super sweet, housebroken and generally quite content. I do, however, need another pup and kittens are fine too (but not instead of another pup.)
If I sound like the right companion for you, please complete our application and ask for Jeffy and remember that my name stands for Joyful, Endearing, Fun-Filled and Young at Heart. Together they spell JEFFY!
Tail wag and gentle snuggles,
Joyful and Jubilant Jeffy
