PARADE OF RESCUE DOGS

135 KATIE. 4/23/07. Breeder, Unknown. Sire-Unknown – Dam-Unknown. Bitch. Owners, Thomas and Debra Gibb, 11616 Caminito Magnifica, San Diego, CA 92131.

Katie Gibb. Born April 23, 2007, Katie began her life in a puppy mill and was sold to a pet store in Las Vegas. A college student
purchased her while on a weekend trip there and brought her home to Los Angeles. While the student was in school, Katie lived in her wire cage. She spent so much time in that cage, by the time the student surrendered her, she was afraid to be outside of her cage.

Bichon FurKids knew that the “Gibb Bichons” might be just what she needed. Well, they didn’t realize how RIGHT they were. Katie was a Gibb foster for about a week and we all knew she would become the latest addition to the pack. Pixie took her under her wing and taught her the house rules while Chipper taught her how to play like a puppy. Today, Katie is the “tiny rascal” of our pack and is best pals with our newest BIG puppy, Woody.

136 CHIPPER. 12/18/07. Breeder, Unknown. Sire-Unknown – Dam-Unknown. Dog. Owners, Thomas and Debra Gibb, 11616 Caminito Magnifica, San Diego, CA 92131.

Chipper Gibb. Born approximately December 18, 2007, Chipper was a stray found in Riverside County and turned in to animal control services. He was one sick puppy, with 2 ear infections, kennel cough and pneumonia. The shelter staff did not have the means to try and keep him alive so they called Bichon FurKids. We immediately transported him to a local veterinary hospital and within a week, he was able to go to foster care. Chipper had a full recovery and became a foster ambassador for Bichon FurKids, helping to foster and guide over 30 rescued bichons in 2009.

Unfortunately, in July of 2009, and only 18 months old, Chipper was diagnosed with some immune system deficiencies. Once again, Bichon FurKids came to his rescue and has been doing everything they can to help him win his battle. He continues to fight, but unfortunately, his fostering days are over.

137 SAVANNAH. 4/17/07. Breeder, Unknown. Sire-Unknown – Dam-Unknown. Bitch. Owners, Thomas and Debra Gibb, 11616 Caminito Magnifica, San Diego, CA 92131.

Savannah Gibb. Born on April 17, 2007, Savannah “Banana” as we fondly call her, was surrendered by a back yard breeder that had 3 simultaneous litters and was overwhelmed. Little Savannah was the runt of one of the litters and with all those other puppies, she was unable to get her share of food. She was barely a pound at 6 weeks old and her owner was thankful that we would take her and give her the extra care she needed. Today we call her our “chunky monkey” and she’s healthy and happy. She’s still a bit shy and reserved around other dogs…but…put her around any humans, and she will jump and roll submissively for your attention. She’s definitely a people lover.

138 SNUGGLES. 4/24/06. Breeder, Unknown. Sire-Unknown – Dam-Unknown. Bitch. Owners, Thomas and Debra Gibb, 11616 Caminito Magnifica, San Diego, CA 92131.

Snuggles Gibb. Born on April 28, 2006, Snuggles was surrendered by a first-time back yard breeder that suffered a medical emergency and could no longer care for her dogs.

Snuggles certainly lives up to her name. From the day she arrived, her favorite pastime was to snuggle and nap on her back. Her other passion is scouting for lizards and rabbits in our yard. She’ll sit or lay in the same spot for hours if she thinks a critter is bound to come by. Then she springs into action and tries to catch them. Sometimes she succeeds and brings her treasure into the house for everyone to see.

139 PIXIE. 8/7/04. Breeder, Unknown. Sire-Unknown – Dam-Unknown. Bitch. Owners, Thomas and Debra Gibb, 11616 Caminito Magnifica, San Diego, CA 92131.

Pixie Gibb. Born on August 7, 2004, Pixie was rescued when an owner surrendered her. The owner was a breeder who had had her final litter and was retiring from breeding. She had kept Pixie in the hope that her teenage daughter would gain interest in breeding and use Pixie as her breeding bitch. Her daughter showed waining interest and the decision was made to surrender Pixie.

Pixie is the alpha of the six Gibb bichons. She’s also known for being an exceptional judge of temperament when fostering rescued bichons. She lets us know what she thinks of a new rescue within minutes of meeting them. She has set a great example for each new bichon we have rescued and teaches them the “house rules”.

140 WOODY. 3/20/09. Breeder, Unknown. Sire-Unknown – Dam-Unknown. Dog. Owners, Thomas and Debra Gibb, 11616 Caminito Magnifica, San Diego, CA 92131.

Woody Gibb. Born on March 20, 2009, Woody was rescued from a family that had an “unexpected litter”. They had not expected their female bichon to come into heat at her age, but , surprise, the enevitable happened. The owner was adamant about finding perfect homes for the puppies and she surrendered her last two to Bichon FurKids Rescue. The Gibb family fostered the two brothers and before long, it was clear that Woody was going to remain with the Gibb pack forever. Katie was smitten with him and he with her.

141 SPIRIT WINSTON. 5/09. Breeder, Unknown. Sire-Unknown – Dam-Unknown. Bitch. Owner, Tristen Winston, 26331 Via Corrizon, San Juan Capistrano, CA 92675.

Spirit. I rescued Spirit from Bichon FurKids in June 2009. She was abandoned at the San Diego Animal Shelter and Bichon FurKids was immediately called due to her young age. I was already on the approved family list waiting to be matched with a FurKid, when I received a call that a 6 week old female needed immediate placement. I couldn’t have found a more perfect Bichon at a breeder and I knew that, so I rushed down to San Diego from Orange County to meet my sweet baby girl.

From her sassy “spirited” attitude now, you can tell she doesn’t even know she is a rescue dog, she may try to show up the Real Best in Show here today!! I named her Spirit for her “spirited” personaltity, and thought it may also stand for “Holy Spirit” because of angelic looks, but her true puppy personality may be closer to

“Evil Spirit” as her Grandmother and her 16 year old Auntie Bichon, like to point out.

Her 16 year old Bichon Auntie Sugar is not nearly as impressed by her constant desire to play. A true pillow Queen, Sugar has spent most of her years guarding the household from a top a large pile of pillows. However, that does not prevent Spirit from bringing her EVERY toy in the basket hoping to coax Sugar to play. They are so cute together and Sugar is here today to cheer her on I the parade from her stroller.

142 DANNY BOY. 2/17/06 . Breeder, Unknown. Sire-Unknown – Dam-Unknown. Dog. Owner, Kim Moore, 4772 Marblehead Bay Drive, Oceanside, CA 92057

Danny was adopted from Bichon FurKids on 2/17/08. He was a stray wandering the streets of Chula Vista. He now spends his days playing fetch and lounging on the couch.

143 LUCY SWAILS. Unknown. Breeder, Unknown. Sire-Unknown – Dam-Unknown. Dog. Owner, Kate Swails, One Burning Tree, Laguna Niguel, CA 92677.

Lucy was abandoned in parking lot 2 1/2 years ago. She appeared to have recently delivered a litter of pups, was losing hairs and had wounds from flea dermatitis and poor diet. What hair she did have was reddish brown. It was difficult to recognize the bichon breed except for the black eyes and nose and her spirited behavior. However, initially she was so frightened that it took two visits by the Bichon FurKids Rescue of Carlsbad to even coax her out of a kennel and into a new life. After having lost our 16 year old bichon that same week, we met Lucy (aka Cami) and our love story began. Watching her grow and develop has been like watching a flower bloom. She is a beautiful little girl inside as well as out. She can be a protector, a cuddle bug and a clown all within moments. She’s a love!!
