Description
Dog Breed: Bichon Frise / Dachshund (long coat). Adoption Fee: $175.00. Guthrie is the sweetest little guy. He’s extremely laid back except for mealtimes and when he’s on squirrel patrol. We don’t know his history, only that when he arrived at a local pound he was in pretty rough shape. He was so badly matted that he had to be anesthetized to get shaved down. It’s obvious that he did not have the best life before that, but that’s all changed for him now. When he first arrived at his foster home, he marked his territory a lot. There are three other dogs there and I suppose he just wanted to communicate that he belonged here too. He’s over that now, but there’s a good chance that behavior could resurface for a bit if he goes to another home with other dogs. (He does get along with other dogs just fine, other than that.) Our little Guthrie also struggled with being in a cage while his foster mom was away. He finally grew to tolerate it, but would be stressful for him. So she decided to stop crating him and see how he did. He is doing great! He is perfectly behaved while foster mama isn’t home. We have him marked as “special needs” because we believe his hearing isn’t 100%. He’s nowhere near deaf, but sometimes you have to use your outside voice when trying to get his attention. Guthrie is a really good boy and really, really deserves a better life than he’s undoubtedly had in the past. He’s smart. When he understands what you want him to do, he will try his best to do it. He’s very food-motivated, which is a huge plus for training! And if you haven’t already noticed, he’s also very cute! Want a cuddle buddy when you’re on the couch watching TV? Guthrie’s your guy! It’s his favorite pastime. He’s very good-natured and easy-going. Except for maybe when it comes to the critter-type trespassers. Guthrie would love a chance to be your boy! He promises to protect your property from the threat of all squirrels, both foreign and domestic! You can easily fill out an adoption application by clicking here: adoption application .

Bichon Frise
A.K.A.: Tenerife dog, Tenerife, Bichon Tenerife, Canary Island Bichon, Bichon a Poil Frise, Bichon à Poil Frisé
Overview:
The Bichon Frise is a charming and vivacious small dog breed, often described as a "little white puffball." Originating in the Mediterranean, they were historically popular among European nobility. Physically, Bichons are characterized by their soft, curly, double coat of pure white fur, dark, expressive eyes, and a plumed tail carried over their back. Their temperament is generally affectionate, playful, and cheerful, making them excellent companions. They are known for being very sociable and thrive on human interaction, often getting along well with children and other pets, making them a superb choice for families and first-time dog owners. Due to their relatively small size and moderate exercise needs, they are also highly adaptable to apartment living, provided they receive regular walks and playtime. While generally robust, Bichons can be prone to certain health issues, including dental disease, patellar luxation, and allergies, highlighting the importance of responsible breeding and veterinary care.
