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.

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

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.

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.

We are looking for a needle in a haystack!
Meet Leo… he is 1.6 year old, a Beagle mix weighing 28 lbs. with a heart of gold. He is special to us as he is in need of a special home. Leo is a year old and spent his early months of life in the back yard in a kennel. Due to this, he needs a very patient owner that will give him time to warm up to them. He is especially timid with men and young children, but okay with women. He really loves the company of another dog. Here is what we would like for Leo: Quieter household. Another dog in the home. Fenced in yard and an owner that will give him time to warm up. We know there is someone out there that understands the rewards they get when shy dogs learn to trust. He has zero aggression and is a good boy!

Profile: Linden is back up for adoption after getting adopted and being returned after a couple weeks. He really loved his female adopter, and wanted her all to his own. This is something that can be worked with, and may lessen as he is sure he has a home. He does seem to bond with females more quickly than males. He was affectionate with the female adopter, and ignored the others in the home. He was a cuddly boy when in bed with his humans. The adopters also felt he would do best with another dog in the home.

Linden came from a commercial breeder/puppy farmer who was no longer going to use him for breeding. He came to us very scared but he is starting to open up and is learning how to play and be a dog. He is starting to trust humans, but we haven't worked on leash walking yet. He can learn to be a loving pet, but it will take time and patience. If interested in him, please fill out the pre-adoption application on our website. Linden is currently wearing doggy boots as he will pace around his kennel and make his pads sore. We are working on getting them healed and toughened up, until then he looks cute in boots.

Dogs from commercial breeders are generally undersocialized (often very scared/shy/skittish) and probably never lived in a house. They will need to learn things like how to walk on a leash, go up stairs, and what things like a television are. They need a patient adopter who will give them the time they need to adjust and to learn to trust people. Every baby step forward needs to be celebrated, and the dog needs to be accepted for who they are at each step. Some dogs can adjust quickly and learn how to be a loved pet pretty easily. Others can take a long time to even be comfortable with things like walking through the house and being in the same room as a person. No matter how far and how fast the breeder dogs progress, they are wonderful dogs and deserve a great home after their life on the puppy farm. A fence or at least a secure fenced in potty area is highly recommended for the dog's safety, and may be required for some dogs. Another small dog in the house can also help many former breeders adjust faster to life in a home, and also may be required in some cases. 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 considering adopting a former breeding dog, the following article is good to read to help you understand the special needs these dogs may have. http://nowisconsinpuppymills.com/mill-survivors.html
