Story
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

Endearing, Energetic and Exqui

Bichon Frise

Female, 1 yr
Carlsbad, CA

Story
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

Yuki

Shih Tzu

Male, Adult
San Diego, CA
Size
(when grown) Small 25 lbs (11 kg) or less
Details
Good with dogs, House-trained, Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,
Story
Age: 9 years old Gender: Male Breed: Shih Tzu mix Weight: 26 lbs Personality: Yuki is wary of strangers but will warm up to people with a bit of chicken and patience on the human's side. Yuki is a mellow guy who loves to nap next to you and lounge in the sun. Yuki is content to sleep the day away near his person but is also up for playing with stuffed animals and fetching! Yuki does well on leash but is quick to warn you that strangers are nearby. He has some barrier frustration, but is generally very easy going once he has warmed up to you. He loves going for car rides and is a great passenger, although drive thru cashiers may be startled at his sudden alerting. Yuki does well with other dogs. He is polite enough to leave old grumpy dogs alone but will play with young energetic pups. He does not resource guard his person, but does show some food guarding tendencies. It would be safest to feed separately. Needs a home with no children or older children who will treat him with respect and give him space as needed. If you have some chicken and just two days of patience, you will be rewarded with so much love. Yuki is an easy dog, he is crate trained, potty trained, and walks well on leash. He is generally a gentle, mellow guy with great house manners. He has a case of stranger danger, but can be redirected when he is reacting. Yuki loves hanging out with his human, but does well when left alone. He will sleep until you return and greet you wholeheartedly. Yuki takes a little bit to warm up to his person, but once you earn his trust, you will find that no one else will look at you with as much love in their eyes as Yuki.  Education: Good with bathroom and leash training Favorite Activities: Napping, cuddling, chewing tags and eyeballs off stuffed animals, fetch, sun bathing. He's also extremely dog friendly Looking for: A sweet person or family who can give him space, be patient with him and respect/ advocate for his boundaries while he learns to trust humans. Ideally older and respectful kids are ok, and so are dogs. He is currently taking Prozac (~$5-10 for a month's supply, depending on market value and where purchased) to successfully help manage his anxiety around new people.  Adoption Fee: $ 350 ##1592807##

Story
Hash was adopted when he was 3 months old and is now 4 years old. He’s a sweet, friendly, playful boy who loves people and brings a lot of joy to everyone he meets. He enjoys playtime, attention, and being part of the action—whether that’s a walk around the neighborhood, a fun outing, or just hanging out with his humans. As our family has grown, our routines and available time have changed in ways we didn’t expect. This has been a difficult decision, and we’re only considering rehoming because we truly believe Hash deserves a home that can give him more consistent exercise, enrichment, and adventure than we’re able to provide right now. We want to find him a loving home where he can get plenty of daily playtime, regular walks, and opportunities to go out and explore. Our priority is finding the right match so he can thrive and continue being the happy, affectionate companion he is. The adoption fee covers his neuter and vaccination costs. He is fully vaccinated.
