Hello World!
My name is Cuddly Coco and I’m a cute little guy who is about 3 ½ years old and simply adorable. Now I’m not bragging but everyone that meets me says I’m a ‘cutie patootie’. I’m not exactly sure what that means but my foster Mom says I’m ‘adorbs’ and that everything I do is adorable!
Mom says I’m 15 pounds of fun – and so happy that I smile – and wag my tail – all the time (except when I’m lying in your arms and cuddling!) Dad says I’m masterful at lying on my back, looking up at you with my big brown eyes and ‘convincing’ you to rub my back. And since I became a FurKid I have discovered these wonderful and amazing things called toys! I have this small plastic soccer ball and a stuffed rainbow! I like to play Fetch with my soccer ball (I actually bring it back too!) and carry my rainbow around the house with me most of the time.
Besides being charming, kind, cuddly, delightful and happy, I’m also obedient, playful and want to please! Sound good? Then please read on! Mom says that I’m equal parts sweet and shy, a darling little guy who just wants to be around you- in your lap, by your side, next to you in bed, on a car ride. As long as I’m with you, I’m fine. Did I mention that I LOVE the car?
My best quality is that I’m just a great little friend. (And I promise I’ll be the bestest companion to some lucky person or couple!)
While I am shy at first when you meet me the moment a new person sits on the couch I climb all over them and love them up. And then we are instant friends! I’m finding out that there are lots of pretty special human beings in this world that I can like and who like me! I’m learning that love and attention are good things! And did I mention that ONCE I TRUST YOU I’M IN LOVE FOR LIFE? Oh! and I’ve discovered that ear scratches and belly rubs are pretty neat! So sign me up for more of them, please!
Dad calls me “Super Glue” because I bonded with him in about two seconds. He says I’m a happy, silly, playful, energetic and social little love bug who wants to participate in all that life has to offer!
Did I mention that I’m housebroken (no typo there) and am also learning commands! Why I already come when I’m called (that’s more than some of my bichon cousins do!) and I’m learning “sit.”
So if you are looking for a darling pup, with lots of promise, are willing to continue my training (I want to become the best little guy that I can be), are active, home most of the time and like to do lots of things, I'm applying to be your new best friend.
My Ideal Home:
People who are home most of the time but also active
Adopters willing to continue my training
Prefer a single person or couple – no children please
No other FurKids are required
Experience level:
Recent/current experience
Rescue experience a plus!
So if I sound like a pup you’d like to meet, please complete our adoption application. Mom says to tell you that there's something incredibly special about me--almost like I know what you're thinking – and that you couldn't ask for a better companion.
Snuggles and Cuddles,
Cuddly, Clever and Charming Coco

Our Adoption Procedure: We require a written application at www.bichonfurkids.org
2.
Approve Application
All applications are screened and responded to by an Applications Coordinator.
3.
Home Check
We require a home/yard safety check which is done with a checklist and photos due to COVID restrictions.
4.
Approve Application
Once approved, our Placement Volunteers get in touch then forward applications that appear to be a good fit to the foster parents
5.
Meet the Pet
They then contact adopters to schedule a virtual adoption visit prior to an adoption visit held outdoors in keeping with COVID requirements
Additional adoption info
Prospective adopters must complete an online application available on our web site. A volunteer then conducts a telephone interview to review the application, followed by requesting a home and yard safety check. Once that has been completed - and if the prospective adopter is approved -the Placement staff will talk with the approved adopter to provide information regarding pups in our foster program that may represent a fit. That will be followed by the foster Moms and Dads contacting the approved adopter to answer questions and schedule an adoption visit at the foster home.
We require an adoption contract for each furkid plus the adoption donation. The fee for pups over one year of age
is $400.00 and is tax-deductible. The adoption fee for our puppies is $500. Our dogs are spayed or neutered, microchipped and vaccinated when adopted and come with an 'adoption kit' which includes a bed, blanket, pillow, leash, collar, vitamins, toy and treats.
Donations beyond our adoption fee are also appreciated so that we can rescue and save more lives.

Our pets are all cared for in loving foster homes. While in foster care, the foster family ensures that they receive lots of tender loving care, have any medical needs addressed, get lots of exercise and training. This gives the foster family an opportunity to learn about each pup's personality so we can develop a bio that describes the furkid. In turn that knowledge enables us to better assist you in selecting a dog that will be the best fit for you and your family.
