Name: Gertie
Age: 13 weeks
Breed: Border Terrier mix
Gender: Female
Weight: 7 lbs

Gertie is an owner surrender with her brother. These two adorable puppies are great for those looking for low shedding and smaller in size.

Training and Manners
House trained: Is doing great
Crate trained: Yes
Social Skills: Great with all ages
Dog Friendly: Yes
Cat Friendly: Could easily acclimate to a cat at this age

Personality
Gertie is gentle, kind, a tad bashful when confronted with new things. She is a true cuddle bug and ready to give her new family unconditional love. She gets along well with calmer dogs that won't try to intimidate her. She also loves calmer children that know how to handle a smaller breed dog. Gertie has been a little gem for her foster family where she had positive reinforcement for all her new accomplishments. Her whole goal in life is to create a bond with her special person or family where she can grow and reward them with years of devoted love.

Ideal Home:
Since Gertie is not the life of the party, she would be a perfect companion dog for her owner. Every day that she builds confidence will be her victories. She would make a great companion for another (similar in size) dog in the home as she is not pesty and just the right balance of playfulness.

Sex: Male
Estimated Breed: Terrier Mix
Approximate Age: 2 years
Approximate Weight: 15 lbs
Spay/Neuter Status: Not yet still healing from previous surgery
Adoption Fee: $550
Description:
Little Levi has had a very hard life. For several months he was roaming the streets alone, forgotten and hoping someone would give him a home. Once animal control secured him it was evident they did not have the resources to help him. Our Texas rescue partners stepped in quickly to save him. His little leg was previously broken, the bone had fused and healed incorrectly, his leg was infected and he needed an immediate amputation. Levi is healing well, he is so happy and he loves his foster momma! He seems to be doing well with house training and is crate trained! Please help Levi find the loving family he deserves, he is such a good boy!

Dog Name: Miley
Sex: Female
Estimated Breed: French Bulldog/Pug Mix
Approximate Age: 3 years
Approximate Weight: 23.5 lbs
Spay/Neuter Status: Spayed
Adoption Fee: $650
Description:
Miley was found roaming the streets alone during a very bad storm in Floydada. She was found by a kind citizen and taken to the shelter, unfortunately she was not reclaimed and urgently needed a hero. She is doing great in her foster home and is such a happy girl, just a doll!! Whoever adopts this sweet and silly girl will have hit the jackpot!

Name: Tito
Age: 1yr old
Breed: Poodle/Bichon mix
Gender: Male
Weight: 24 lbs

Tito got a first class seat out of Texas where he was picked up as a stray and sadly no one ever came to claim him.

Training and Manners
House trained: He promises to work hard on this
Crate trained: Yes
Social Skills: He can be cautious if he doesn't know you but warms up quickly
Dog Friendly: Yes, very
Cat Friendly: Yes

Personality
It is sad that there are so many stray dogs down south and Tito is one of the lucky ones to come north in hopes of finding him a forever home. This handsome boy is sweet and gentle once he has a little bit to get to know you. Because he is cautious at first, we think he would do better in a home without young children. He really loves other dogs, no matter their size. This happy boy will "wow" your friends and neighbors with his stunning good looks! He will love a home where he can go for walks, run through the house with his toys and curl up next to you for a nap. For those looking for little to no shedding, he would be great.

Ideal Home:
Tito would love a calmer home where he can be your best companion. His medium energy level is just enough to get you off the couch for a daily walk. He is looking forward to his first snowfall and becoming a Packer fan.

Bijou and Dash came in as a bonded pair when their owner went into a nursing home. They do take some time to warm up to new people but do well together. They were housetrained in their home, but may need a little retraining in a new home after being in the shelter. These dogs deserve a home to live out their senior years, and we are hoping to be able to keep them together. Bijou is Dash's mother, so they have been together for many years. They have been updated on vet care including dentals, so now they just need a home.

We do put the needs of the dog's first, so it is nothing personal if we determine a particular dog isn't suitable for your specific home and living situation.

If interested in adoption, the first step is filling out the pre-adoption application at http://www.bichonrescues.com/pre-adoption-form-dog If link isn't clickable, please copy/paste or visit http://www.bichonrescues.com. Please note, filling out inquiry forms on Petfinder or Adoptapet and/or their application forms does not constitute an application for one of our dogs. Priority in responding to inquires and applications is always to the applications filled out on our website, time constraints limit the number of other inquires we can reply to.

We do our best to evaluate the dogs while they are with us, but they sometimes act different in the shelter environment than they do in a home. Many times we do not know the actual breed/mix or age of the dog, in that case we use our best guess as to breed and age.

We are located in Mukwonago, WI. Adopters must come to us, we do not ship our dogs. Please do not apply for a dog until you are ready to adopt. Once an application is approved you will be notified by email to make an appointment to meet the dog. All dogs are seen by appointment only.

The adoption fee through Bichon and Little Buddies Rescue is $495 for most adults and up to $650 for puppies which includes Wi State Sales Tax. Included in this fee is your new companion who will be spayed/neutered, have a current Certificate of Veterinary Inspection (as required by state law), current on age appropriate vaccinations, heartworm tested (if old enough) and started on preventative, microchipped, and given a general wormer. Other medical needs will also have been taken care of, such as dentals and treating ear infections.

To assist you and your new pet in adjusting to life together, you may chose to take an 8 week age appropriate obedience training course at For Pet's Sake Dog Training in Mukwonago, WI for $100 (up to $260 value). You may opt to take Puppy Kindergarten, Adult Beginners, or Small Dogs Big Hearts. You must register for the class within 90 days of adoption for the reduced fee.

Hi everyone. My name is Rascal but it used to be Moss. I think Rascal fits me better. I’m a very happy boy with lots of puppy energy, very friendly. I love doing zoomies in my yard and playing with my little foster sister Muffin. Once I get all my zoomies out, I love to cuddle up on the sofa. I need lots of yummy food to keep my energy up - my foster mom says that I’m a very good eater! I am working on my potty training and I know to walk to the door to ask to go out. Once I’m outside I sometimes get distracted if the family of wild turkeys are walking across my yard. There are 9, I counted them but didn’t bark.

When you look at my picture, you might think it’s AI generated. It’s really me, I’m really that cute.

You might ask what I’m looking for in my forever family. I need a family who is kind, loving, and patient. A furry sibling a little older than me would be perfect, a playmate for times when you’re busy. Do you have a big fenced in back yard so I can run? That sure would be fun. I like lots of toys - my currency favorite are ones to chew.

I know to sit for a treat but still learning to walk on a leash. My foster mom says that I’m really smart and learn quickly.

Do you think that you could live a little fella like me?

Hoping to be your new best friend.

Love, Rascal

These litter of pups came from another rescue so they can find loving homes. Acorn, Birch, and Moss are the boys, and Fern and Thistle are girls. We do put the needs of the dog's first, so it is nothing personal if we determine a particular dog isn't suitable for your specific home and living situation. They haven't lived in a home yet, so will need to learn things like housetraining, but they are up to date on their vet care including vaccines, spay/neuter, microchip, and started on heartworm preventative. Apply now and we will set up appointments for you to meet the available pups.
