Hello New Friends!
My name is Loveable Levi and I’m a sweet and snuggly little guy of four (years that is) who is an affectionate and amazing companion! I get along with my doggy foster brother and sister and like being part of a pack. I’m awesome with children (even the very young ones) and love to be near my people (but am never intrusive.) My foster Mom says I have puppy dog eyes that look at you with love – and that I have the ability to ‘materialize’ from almost anywhere if you call my name.
Dad says I’m an athletic, strong, smart and loving little lap dog! (Can you tell he likes me?)
I have an endearing and curious nature, like to explore my environment and am energetic and also playful –and that snuggling is my specialty. Dad and Mom agree: one look at my cute little face and you will fall in love.
Once upon a time, I had a wonderful home with a Mom who loved and took care of me- and I was the happiest pup on earth. But one sad day, Mom went to Heaven and I was taken to the shelter, which was a pretty scary place for a gentle soul like me. Luckily, my BFK Aunties came and scooped me up, because they could see that I was a great pup who would make a wonderful companion.
I am a long legged colt of a guy who likes to stand on my hind legs. Mom says I look like a prairie dog when I do that. And I do the cutest thing too! You see Mom had the TV on and I heard horses. I stopped what I was doing and started watching – and stayed there in front of the TV just watching and watching and watching the horses! And then I heard a cat meow on Mom’s phone and watched the entire cat video with Mom. She said she has never seen a pup do that!
Did I mention that I’m healthy and loving and cheerful- and that I like walks (where I can explore the neighborhood)? I also love car rides. Sometimes I curl up and sleep the whole way, and other times, I look out the window and grin. I’m also eager to please.
At home, I’m the perfect buddy for a snuggle in front of the TV, or a little nap on the sofa. I stick right by my people and will even put my little paw on my Mom’s hand, so she knows that I’m there for her and ready to be petted at any time. Mom says that having me around is like having a visit from an old friend, who fits right in.
My Ideal Home:
*Someone home most of the time
*Another active, playful dog around my age
*A family with kids would be my ideal!
Experience level:
*Have had dogs as an adult
*Recent/current dog experience a plus
So now I’m hoping that somebody out there is looking for a loving, playful and affectionate guy like me, to “fit right in” at their home. Do you think you and your family might have a place for me in your hearts? Do you have children or grandchildren you want to teach about unconditional love? I’m happy to help you do that! Could you help me write a happy ending to my story? If so, please write, just as soon as you can, and ask for Levi. I’ll be waiting with a smile and a loving look in my eyes.
Tail wags and bichon kisses,
Loveable and Lively Levi

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.
