Bichon Frise puppies and dogs in Kentucky

Meet Peony A Sweet Soul Waiting to Bloom Peony is a 5-year-old beauty with a soft heart and gentle spirit. She is still learning to trust people, but with kindness and patience she is slowly beginning to blossom. Like her name suggests, shes a flower waiting for the right environment to truly open up. She loves the company of other dogs and thrives when she has a social canine companion to play with and lean on. Because of this, Peony would do best in a home with another small, friendly dog who can help show her that people are safe and love is something to embrace. Peony has an energetic and playful side when shes with her dog friends, but she also has a tender, affectionate nature that shines through once she begins to feel secure. With time and patience, she will bond deeply and become a loyal companion. This lovely little girl just needs a gentle, understanding home to help her continue her journey. With love, Peony will blossom into the sweet, joyful dog shes meant to be. View Video HERE **Additional fees apply for out-of-state adoptions.

Please understand that due to the high volume of inquiries, we may not be able to respond to questions covered in this FAQ section.1. Are your dogs potty trained?Unless the dog's bio specifically states that they are potty trained, you can assume they are not.

Do you transport to other locations?Currently, we transport to Wilmington, Ohio, Greenwood, Indiana, Washington, PA, and Lake City, FL.3. Is this cat/dog still available?If the cat or dog is listed on Adopt-A-Pet and does not have an "adoption pending" tag on the website, we are still accepting applications.

(She can see light and dark, just no detail).  Both are neutered and UTD on their vaccines.  They are scheduled for a dental cleaning on June 9 which will be covered by the rescue.These two are sweet and friendly as can be.  They cuddle together like two peas in a pod when they sleep at night.  They love to go on walks!  Sophie charges ahead on her lead, she doesn't seem bothered at all by her limited sight!  Once she learns where everything is in her home, she will maneuver around just fine.  They both LOVE being outside in their foster's fenced yard....so many things to smell and the sunshine feels great!  Max is the more outgoing of the pair.  Both are cuddle bugs that want to be with their person.  They are very friendly pups.FOSTER UPDATE:  After 2 weeks with us, Sophie has graduated with honors in house training!!  Max still occasionally wants to lift a leg in the house so he gets a B-.  Both of them have made huge gains in this important area.  We are very proud of them!! Can you provide a loving home for Max and Sophie?  Fill out an application and let's get the ball rolling!***Max and Sophie are eligible for our Senior to Senior adoption program.  If the adopter is over 60 and uses our vet, the rescue will cover their vet bills.  You provide the home, food, toys and LOVE.  Frankies Furry Friends will pay their vet bills.  This special program is a WIN-WIN for everyone.Adoption Fee to defray vet costs:  $100Visit this organization's web site to see any additional information available about this pet.June 3, 2026, 4:15 pm
