Here's what the humans have to say about me:
Hello World,
My name is Huggable Hobie and I’m a darling, handsome and happy little bichon boy of five (and almost 13 pounds soaking wet) who smiles (yes I do!) and talks! (Mom says I’m very communicative and very smart!) Dad says I’m friendly and good natured – and very confident and adaptable! I love short people and tall people and other furkids, too! I simply love and adore everyone.
Dad says I’m healthy, active and ready to play. Oh, and did I mention I like to explore also? Checking out the yard or any yard on our walk is great fun for me. Dad says that I’m getting my ‘exercise;’ I say I’m just having fun! And did I mention that I’m quite athletic? I’m able to leap small buildings in a single bound. Oh silly me! That’s what Superman does, not me! Does that make me Super Bichon? Well I AM very agile and graceful!
Mom says she loves the way I lay quietly and contentedly next to her while she works on her computer or stops to read a book. She says I’m a major cuddler who is a little goofy, sweet, loyal, fun, a little silly and very smart. I’m housebroken, LOVE to walk and ride in the car, am learning commands and want to please! And did I mention that I’m just the right size to take anywhere? I can travel by train, plane or car and want to be your bestest companion, always!
It doesn’t seem possible but just a few weeks ago I lost my family and my home. They weren’t able to care for me, I had lived outside and not been groomed in a long time (as you could see from my shelter picture.) They took me to a shelter and said goodbye – but I got lucky and became a FurKid! Now I’m clean and comfortable and my silky white hair is growing back in. You can probably tell that I’m a resilient little guy. Mom and Dad said to let you know I am also amazingly adaptable pup who is filled only with love-- and just waiting for a family who will love me as much, and as unconditionally, as I will love them!
My Ideal Home:
*Someone home most of the time
*A family or a couple would be lovely
* An active lifestyle
* No FurKid required but I can certainly get along with one or more
Experience level:
*Have had pups as an adult
Mom says to tell you I’m as handsome as I am gentle... and as mellow as I am cuddly. While I seem to have it all, the one thing that I’m missing is my very own forever family who will love me and care for me always. If that sounds like you please complete our adoption application. Just ask for me by my name!
Tail wags and cuddles,
Handsome and Huggable Hobie
