Story
You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website. Meet Talvi, a lovely little Bichon girl who is learning that life can be so much more than what she's always known. After spending her life as a breeder dog, she's now discovering the comfort and security of being part of a family. While many things are still new to her, Talvi is making progress every day and is looking for a patient, understanding home that will continue helping her build confidence. Talvi is a sweet, gentle girl with a quiet charm all her own. While she can be shy initially, she has already shown that she wants to be part of the action. In fact, she'll let you know when she's feeling left out, especially if the other dogs are heading outside without her. A few barks are often her way of saying, "Don't forget about me!" Like many dogs who haven't had much one-on-one attention, Talvi can be a little evasive when it's time to be picked up and may play a brief game of "catch me if you can." Once she feels secure and trusts her people, however, she completely melts. She'll practically lay down and wait for you to scoop her up, showing just how much she's beginning to enjoy feeling safe and cared for. Because she has always lived with other dogs, Talvi would do best in a home with another small, friendly canine companion. She takes comfort in having doggy friends around and looks to them for reassurance as she navigates new experiences. She enjoys treats, is learning about toys and chewies, and continues to grow more curious about the world around her. Talvi is still working on her house training and has not yet learned to walk on a leash. Her future family should be prepared to help her learn these skills through patience, consistency, and positive reinforcement. Since she is not leash trained, a securely fenced yard is preferred for her safety. She gets along well with other dogs and is respectful around cats. Talvi has also recently had a dental procedure and is feeling great. She has been groomed and will require regular professional grooming throughout her life to keep her beautiful Bichon coat healthy and looking its best. Each day brings a little more confidence, personality, and trust from this special girl. Watching Talvi blossom has been incredibly rewarding, and we know the family who gives her the love and patience she deserves will be rewarded with a devoted and loving companion. Talvi is spayed, microchipped, up to date on core vaccinations, has had a dental, and is negative for heartworm. Adoption Fee: $500 If you're looking for a gentle soul who is ready to leave her past behind and discover the joys of being a beloved family member, Talvi may be the perfect addition to your home. To help keep our dogs safe, we require a martingale collar at the time of adoption. If you don't already have one, Pixie Mamas has them available for $10.
