Jaxson (M) – seven-year-old in Baltimore, MD (Adoption pending)
As a uber-handsome charmer with enormous, soulful eyes and a heart of gold, Jaxson has a huge personality packed into a 17-lb. fluffy frame (he’s sporting a short haircut right now, but his signature Bichon coat is on its way back!).
​
Jaxson loves life’s simple joys — long walks, a spirited game of tug or fetch, and of course, a delicious, nutritious meal followed by some well-earned treats. When playtime winds down, Jaxson is perfectly happy to snuggle up on your lap for chin scratches and belly rubs. or curl up in his favorite furry bed nearby. Overnight, he sleeps in his crate, and when his foster mom asks him to go “night, night” he goes right in.
​
He’s crate- and house-trained and a total gentleman around other small dogs. He hasn’t met many bigger pups (or any cats) yet. He does fine in his crate during the day when his foster mom is gone but when she comes home, he gives her a joyful “welcome back!”
​
While Jaxson is a friendly boy, sometimes it takes him a little while to warm up to strangers. He will not be placed in a family with young children because of his exuberance in play and initial wariness of new people, but we believe he would do well with those old enough to treat him gently and respect his boundaries. We think he would prefer his own fenced-in back yard so he can run and play to his heart’s content but will also consider active adopters who can give him lots of exercise. He is neutered and will be fully vaccinated and vetted shortly. This amazing boy has melted our hearts. He is ready to melt yours too.

DAISY (F) – Nine-year-old in Windsor, CT
Daisy, our amazing 18-lb. girl, is a true “Momma’s Girl”, wanting nothing more than love, affection and attention from her foster Mom. She will be your fluffy shadow, having to be exactly where you are at all times. An Olympic cuddler, she delights in finding that perfect place on your lap where she can be showered with pets, ear scratches, and hugs. Calm and “chill” Daisy does not need toys or stuffies to keep her happy. She’s got mom!
Daisy is great on a leash and enjoys her daily walks. She absolutely loves chasing squirrels and chipmunks in her own yard, it keeps her active, so a fenced-in yard is strongly preferred. This pretty little miss is fully housetrained. She will stare at mom when she has to go outside. Because of previous bad experiences, she will not tolerate being crated.
Daisy is spayed, UTD on vaccinations, and fully vetted. We are looking for an adults-only, preferably all-female home (she is skittish around men), or a family with teenagers who would treat her gently and respect her boundaries. She might like another small friendly dog with the same energy level to play with. We don’t know her history with cats. This special little girl would be great for a retired lady or couple at home much of the time to keep her company. Will you be the one to make the second chapter of her life perfect? She will return the favor with unconditional love and devoted companionship.
Gizmo (M) - 10 year old being fostered in Sanford, FL
Gizmo is an absolutely beautiful 19-lb. Bichon mix who was turned in with two other pups. All three were flea-infested and grossly dirty and matted. Although he was neglected in the past, he doesn’t hold a grudge, and turned out to be a sweet, affectionate and loving companion. His foster mom tells us he is doing great on his house breaking. While his sight is severely limited by cataracts, our boy gets along well in an environment familiar to him. He is being fostered with a number of other pups, who he does fine with. Gizmo is neutered and has been fully vetted.
Gizmo needs you. While he is a bit older and his eyes are clouded by cataracts, he has so much life to live and love to give. Yes, because of his vision loss, he can’t safely do stairs and his person needs to be sure the house is safe for him. But what a gift you would be giving to him – and to yourself – to grant this special boy the chance to live as part of a loving family. His gratitude would know no bounds and you would be comforted knowing that you made a difference in the life of such a worthy little pup.
