Adoption Application
~ Please read and acknowledge before you apply

Bichons are wonderful, engaging and entertaining dogs who love and thrive on companionship. They range in size from 6-30 pounds however the average size is 15-17 pounds. We occasionally rescue bichons that are smaller than 15 pounds and some that are larger than 17 pounds. More male bichons come in to rescue as more males are born; however only a small percentage of males are 'markers' and males are generally easier to housebreak. Female bichons sometimes lift their legs - it's part of the breed. 

Tear staining is usually a result of poor nutrition and the use of tap, rather than better quality, water. Most tear staining can also be addressed by eliminating the cause or using products that can be applied topically.

Bichons live, on average, to be 15+ years - so a commitment to a bichon is for many happy, healthy years together. Young bichons require a lot of exercise and socialization. Older bichons still need exercise. We factor in age and lifestyle of the dog and prospective adopter for each and every placement. We are the FurKid's advocate always -- as we are seeking one forever home and family for any bichon that comes into our care.

Bichon FurKids was founded to save lives. Over the past four years we have saved more than 1700 bichons and bichon mixes. We work diligently to rescue as many of these little innocents as we can. If you agree with our philosophy and want to help us save lives, we will be delighted to work with you to find a new member of your family.
