Bindi’s Story

Bindi found her way into SNAFU via a private party. Her family wanted her to be placed in a loving pet home to be spoiled, loved, and live out her life as a cherished pet!

Bindi is an active, playful, attention-seeking, social, energetic, AFFECTIONATE, outgoing, and friendly Frenchie girl.  She loves to do nothing but play, play, play all day.  She has 2 speeds… 100mph and sleeping!  She loves romping around the house and exploring every inch of her surroundings to see what she can play with.  This curious girl is a master at the game of take-a-away; she will inevitably (usually a bone) get her little paws on and will steal it away from one of her foster siblings.  Bindi loves romping around with her foster siblings whether in the house or in the yard.  She really is just a happy-go-lucky little lady! After she has played her heart out she will settle into her soft bed with her favorite bone.  She will nibble away until her eyes meet one of her furry foster siblings in hopes they want to engage her in some more play!  Bindi will never turn down a wrestling match or a zoomie race in the yard.  If she still has some play energy but the others don’t she is more than content to follow around her foster family and shadow every move they make!  After absolutely exhausting herself from endless play, Bindi will always look for her people to partake in a cuddle session during her snooze.  She is the definition of a “velcro Frenchie” and truly just wants to be with her people all the time as she finds comfort in their presence and the attention she is offered.  She may be part mountain goat; she leaps ever so gingerly into any open lap to curl up in for a snooze.  After a much-needed puppy nap, she is off circling the house following her foster siblings around, mimicking their behaviors, and stealing all their bones.  Bindi’s days start and end with run, play, snuggle… wash rinse repeat!  Bindi’s overall fun, rambunctious, happy disposition allows her to get along with every being she meets whether furry or human. Bindi is still a young puppy and she comes with all the puppy tendencies. Bindi lacks boundaries and for some dogs and children, she may be too much.  She is in need of some basic puppy training to learn what is expected of her in the home. She doesn’t know danger and she should always be supervised as she tends to find items she is not supposed to get into!  She has a very lovable and fun temperament which is favorable when she is around other dogs.  Bindi seems to get along with any do but prefers those that are more playful, will wrestle with her, and are more her size! She has yet to meet any human, big or small, that she hasn’t fallen head over paws for.  Because of her lighthearted disposition, we feel Bindi will do perfectly well with another dog of any size and with dog-savvy, gentle, respectful children 5 years or older (she is still in the puppy that cannot control her licker).  We also feel Bindi would thrive in a multi-dog household as she emulates other dog behaviors and picks up quickly on what is expected in the home and proper dog manners.  Bindi has been around cats and she insists on playing with them.  She would be okay with dog-savvy cats only and ones that are okay with her in their space.  Slow introductions to other dogs and children in the household are a must and she should always be supervised to make sure both she and they are kept safe.

Bindi is still working on potty training but his foster family reports her accidents are becoming fewer and further between; she has been accident free for quite some time!  As with all of our dogs, any adopter must be patient and willing to continue working on her potty training success as she acclimates to his new home and surroundings. She is still a young dog in need of a consistent outside routine and a signal for potty.  Bindi has a dislike for her crate but after a 10 sec howl she will quickly settle into her space.  Bindi does like to have a line of sight into her foster brother while crated. She can also be offered a dog-safe space to spend time in when her foster family happens to be away from the home.  Bindi is a master snuggle bug and is gracioulsy allowed to share her foster family’s bed in the evening to offer many snuggles at night.  She sleeps quietly for 8 hours only to wake offering good morning kisses! 

Medically, Bindi is in great health! She has been spayed, microchipped, heartworm tested, and updated on vaccinations/dewormings, and has been given a clean bill of health by our veterinarian!  She seems to have some seasonal allergies and is offered a daily allergy pill to keep them at bay.

Bindi would do great in any type of home!  She is a champ with the stairs and since she does love to explore the yard, and has a tendency to run and play, a house with a completely closed fenced yard will be preferred for her (as opposed to a multiple-floor apartment-style dwelling).  Since Bindi is quite a people’s Frenchie, we think she would love to eventually go to work with her new family if they wanted to take her with them to the office.  She does still need to work on some basic training before entering the workspace but with consistent work, she would do just fine!  If her people are not able to take her to work with them, no problem at all – she’s completely happy sleeping at home for a few hours as long as she has a warm soft blanket and a furry friend, and her people can arrange for a potty break for her!  Bindi is a fun little lady looking for a home that has an active family to dote on her, can be included in most family outdoor activities, can offer her the exercise she desires, an engaging furry friend to play with, and lots of love and attention. Bindi is still a young dog that will require a little extra patience as she is guided into what is expected of her.  She is such a goofy little girl who will offer a family so much joy, love, and happiness. Please be prepared for the ongoing care requirements that are needed to take care of a young dog. Bindi is full of energy and needs a family that is willing and able to match her levels! Be prepared to be smothered with love, affection, and kisses!!!
