My personality

My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Hello World!
I’m Endearing and Energetic Emmie, and if cuteness were a sport, I’d be a pro. I’m a sweet and wiggly little fluff who’s ‘about’ one year old (or maybe a bit younger!) and I currently tip the scales at just over 10 pounds — and I’m filling out nicely now that I know where my meals are coming from. Everyone says I’m the dog-ification of cute… and honestly, have you seen my face?

I’m full of joyful puppy energy and bounce through life like I’m weightless. When I wag my tail, my whole body wiggles along with it! I love to run and zoom across the yard, leap like a tiny gazelle, and race through the house with my foster sister. Toys are amazing, zoomies are mandatory, and playtime is one of my favorite things ever.

After all that fun, I transition into the world’s sweetest cuddle bug. I’ll curl right up in your lap and fall fast asleep. (You can almost feel me relaxing as I realize I’m safe, loved, and part of a pack.) I’m extremely affectionate with my people and I love being close — kisses included.

I get along beautifully with the dogs in my foster home. I play with the younger pup and politely leave the seniors alone, although I have started playing tug-of-war with my older foster sister as she is open to that kind of play. (She’s a FurKid alum, too). I warm up quickly to visitors and make friends quickly, once I know they’re part of my people.

I’m still learning about the big world outside. Walks can still be a little overwhelming and I may bark at dogs I don’t know yet, but my foster family is helping me learn with patience, treats, and encouragement — and I’m already making progress. I’m smart, eager, and trying my very best.

Since I’m still a baby at heart, I’m also learning about housetraining and basic commands like sit, stay, and come. I didn’t get much training previously but I’m catching on quickly --and will thrive with someone who is kind, consistent, and committed to helping me learn.

One thing you should know about me most of all: I really LOVE my people. A lot. I don’t like being alone yet and can become anxious when my family leaves, so I’ll do best with someone who’s home most of the time and understands that I need reassurances as I become more confident.

My Ideal Home:

Someone home most of the time
A patient, loving adopter who understands puppies and puppy energy
A young, playful dog is required
A family ready for an active, affectionate, very wiggly girl
Experience Level:

Dog experience preferred
Willingness to continue training and socialization


I’m a soft, sweet, playful little soul who wants nothing more than to belong — especially to a couple or family who will guide me as I grow. With love, structure, and and more experience, I’m going to be the most amazing FurKid. It’s what I was born to be!

So If you’re ready for puppy joy, lap naps, zoomies, and endless affection, please fill out an adoption application and ask for me.

I’ll be waiting… with wiggles, kisses, and my whole heart 💕
Love and tail wags,

Endearing, Energetic and Exquisite Emmie

Their adoption process

1.

Submit Application

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.

Go meet their pets

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.

More about this rescue

Bichon FurKids Rescue focuses on Bichon Frises and Bichon mixes in need of forever homes. We rescue from local shelters, as well as provide services for pets who are surrendered directly to us. Our dogs are cared for in foster homes where they learn to be socialized, housebroken and to become part of a family. Our services are highly personalized - and we work directly with our volunteers to help rescued dogs successfully transition to new homes and lives.
