Here's what the humans have to say about me:
Hi People,
My name is Darling, Devoted Duncan and I’m both a lover and a keeper! I’m an adorable seven year old bichon who is super cuddle sized at around 30 pounds (my Dad says I’m a man-sized bichon but Mom says I’m just a cuddle bug!) Mom says bigger is better because there is more of me to love and more love for me to give. (I am very good at that!) She says I’m a sweet and happy boy who is eager to please and fun to have around. (Aw gee, thanks, Mom). I love to go on walks and rides in the car- and am always good natured. Mom says I look up at you with the most expressive brown eyes and always have a smile on my face!
My Dad says I’m an affectionate little guy who will follow you from room to room. I like to sit at your feet or in your lap. Being with (and near you) is important to me. I’m very interested in people because I was left alone so much before (more about that later)! And Dad wants you to know that I am a champion at playing fetch ( I’ll even bring the ball back – you tell me that isn’t special). At night I’m known to sleep as close as I can to my person - but I’m not intrusive! (Mom says I am a sound sleeper who sleeps in the Big People’s bed all night long, like the very good boy that I am.)
You will find me to be very enthusiastic about life! While I’m not much of a barker, I will let you know something is happening, I get along great with other furkids and people but because I’m a bigger guy, kids over 8 are best. And of course, like a true gentleman, I know how to use the doggie door and am housebroken.
Mom and Dad agree that I’m a very sweet boy who deserves a forever home where I can love and be loved. You see, I had a home once, but my first Mom and Dad traveled a lot and were rarely home. I spent many, many many hours alone– or was boarded at the vet’s office for weeks on end. I was very sad and lonely and didn’t get the kind of attention that a good bichon boy deserves! I would hope every day that they would come to see me. In fact, every time someone walked by I would run to the front of my kennel hoping my owners had come for a visit, but they never did.
Since I became a furkid though, things have REALLY improved. I have a wonderful foster family who loves me and plays with me and gives me lots of attention. They have lots of bichons for me to play with and that’s fun, too! The only thing that is missing is that I want and deserve a family of my own. Could you be the one I have been looking for? If you are around most of the time and want the world’s best companion I will be happy to apply. Having a FurKid brother or sister (or two) would be fine too.
So if you are looking for a love of a guy who is sweet, mellow,
cuddly and affectionate, then look no further. I will be waiting to meet you with a smile on my face and a look that says I love you!
Love, cuddles and supersized snuggles,
Dashing, Darling and Devoted Duncan
