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

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.
