Hello New Friends,
My name is Beloved and Blissful Bohdi — and I’m a gentle, handsome bichon boy of five years, weighing 19 pounds who has soulful brown eyes and a nose my foster mom says is “designed specifically for kisses.” (I think she might be right).
If you’re wondering what kind of pup I am, let me tell you my story. Recently I found myself starting a brand-new chapter as a FurKid. I lost my mom, my home and my doggy siblings and arrived at my foster home: polite, quiet boy who wasn’t entirely sure what to expect. I quickly learned that life inside a loving home is full of soft beds, kind hands, and tummy rubs (oh yes, the tummy rubs!). Within days
I began to show my true self: a gentle soul who leans in for affection, rolls over for belly scratches, and melts into your hand when you pet the top of my head. I close my eyes and nearly drift off every time. My Foster says that’s “the cutest thing she’s ever seen.”
I’m also a happy, lively pup when the great outdoors calls! I love going on walks, especially when we meet wildlife trotting across our path. Squirrels, birds, anything with feathers or fur — I perk right up and say, “Ooh! A friend!” At the park I run, jump, and play with the other dogs. I’m still learning that after you chase a toy, you’re supposed to actually bring it back. I’m working on that (I promise).
As for other pups, I’m definitely the “easygoing little brother” type. I’ll curl up back-to-back with my foster siblings, share space like a gentleman, and happily join in when everyone crowds around for pets and treats. Sometimes I check what the others got for dinner, because… well… what if they received something even better? I’m still perfecting the art of “eat your dinner first, Bohdi,” but I’m enthusiastic about the lesson.
I adore grown-ups, too, and I’m wonderful with children. On a recent walk, I met two young neighbors—ages four and eight—and politely let them pet me with no hesitation. I’m also a terrific car-ride companion: on my 45-minute trip to my foster home I alternated between looking out the window like a proper explorer and curling up for a restful snooze. I was “a perfect gentleman.”
House manners? I do very well — especially with a doggie door. I’m great on the leash, too. I think I know how to heel, because I often glance back to check in with my Mom. Sitting is a work in progress. When you ask, I sometimes melt gently to the floor instead. It’s not that I’m being disobedient… it’s more like shyness mixed with charm.
At night I hop up on the bed for snuggles, then quietly choose a dog bed of my own nearby. I’m calm and rarely bark (unless my foster siblings rally to protect the house) then, of course, I contribute one polite “woof!” to the cause.
I’m an active boy who enjoys good walks (and time outdoors), but also wonderfully content with naps and companionship. I’m healthy, easygoing, affectionate, gentle, and ready to give my whole heart to the person or family who loves me. Whether you scoop me up in your arms, pull me close on the couch, or stroke the top of my head while I drift toward dreamland, I’ll show you every day just how grateful and loving a little dog can be.
My Ideal Home Should Have:
• A family or adult(s) who enjoy affection and togetherness
• Another kind, playful dog in my home
• Humans who appreciate a gentle, loving companion
• Regular walks and time outside (I do love an adventure!)
Experience Level:
• Someone with dog experience
• A home where kindness and routine are the norm
If you’re looking for a loving, tenderhearted companion who wants nothing more than to be close, be cherished, and share life’s simple joys, I’m applying to be your new best friend. Please ask for me by name.
Tail wags, snuggles, and love,
Beloved, Blissful and Blessed Bohdi

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.
