This irresistibly fluffy Bichon mix has a non-shedding coat (great for allergy-sensitive homes or people who just hate lint-rolling furniture), and a heart as soft as his curls. Sandwich starts his mornings like a true romantic: curled up beside you, requesting (read: insisting on) a hand resting somewhere on his body at all times. After a slow cuddle-filled wake-up, he’s off on a 30-minute walk around the neighborhood. This is his favorite part of the day— he loves sniffing the world and making new friends, both human and canine. Once he’s back, it’s breakfast time, which he devours like a dog who appreciates fine cuisine—but not without making sure you’re nearby for emotional support, of course. When you’re getting ready for work, Sandwich is right there, supervising every detail like a small, furry manager. He’s not thrilled when you leave, but he’s mature about it—he’ll find a sunny spot to nap in and patiently wait for your return. He’s been left home alone for up to six hours with no accidents, no destruction, and no dramatic protest speeches. When you’re back? It’s time for another walk, some quality dog-meeting, a good dinner, and more cuddles—because Sandwich doesn’t believe in personal space, only personal connection. He’s a velcro dog to his core— once he decides you’re his person. On his first day, he was cautious and hesitant, but once he knew he was safe, he never wanted to leave his foster’s side. He’s still a little wary of some men (especially those with beards), but he’s been open and friendly with others. He’s not a fan of grooming and will speak up if something makes him uncomfortable, but he’s already shown improvement, even after just two baths. Sandwich knows who he loves, and when he loves you—he really loves you. He’s currently cohabiting peacefully with a 50 lb dog named Moses. While they were unsure of each other at first, they warmed up and now enjoy walks and the occasional play session together. Sandwich is respectful on leash, only pulling when he gets a little too excited to greet a dog, person, or rogue squirrel. With a gentle redirect, he’s right back to strolling politely. He’s also house-trained and doesn’t chew or dig. He’ll bark when the doorbell rings or guests arrive, often joining in the chorus with the resident dog, but otherwise he’s more of a lover than a barker. Sandwich is playful, affectionate, and intuitive— happy to romp or relax, depending on your mood. He has the soul of a lap dog and the energy of a companion who’s always up for a stroll or a snack. While he hasn’t met kids or cats yet, he’d do best in a home with folks who want a loyal, loving little shadow. He’s not perfect—just perfectly himself. A little quirky, a little choosy, a lot lovable. Once Sandwich picks you, you’ve got a friend for life. June 18, 2025, 1:03 pm
