***While we hope all of our adoptions lead to permanent homes for the animals we place, sometimes things just don't work out. We are not able to hold pets for adopters beyond this time. If the meeting results in a match, you can often take the dog/cat home the same day or within a couple days if the medical care hasn't been completed. ***Please do not set up an appointment to meet the animals until you are ready to take your pet home. We adopt primarily in WI and IL, but will consider applicants in MN, IA, and MI.*** If you are considering adoption you must be willing to drive to meet and adopt the pet, as well as bring the pet back to us if the adoption doesn't work. ***We are a Wisconsin based rescue and do not ship our pets. For more information on the classes visit More important information:

You must register for the class within 90 days of adoption for the reduced fee. You may opt to take Puppy Kindergarten, Adult Beginners, or Small Dogs Big Hearts. 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 $75 (up to $230 value). Other medical needs will also have been taken care of, such as dentals and treating ear infections. 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. The adoption fee through Bichon and Little Buddies Rescue is $200 - $550 depending on the age of the dog, which includes Wi State Sales Tax. Once an application is approved you will be notified by email to make an appointment to meet the dog. Please do not apply for a dog until you are ready to adopt. Adopters must come to us, we do not ship our dogs. 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 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. 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. 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. If interested in adoption, the first step is filling out the pre-adoption application at If link isn't clickable, please copy/paste or visit. 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. 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. 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. 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. 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. 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.

Some dogs can adjust quickly and learn how to be a loved pet pretty easily. Every baby step forward needs to be celebrated, and the dog needs to be accepted for who they are at each step. They need a patient adopter who will give them the time they need to adjust and to learn to trust people. They will need to learn things like how to walk on a leash, go up stairs, and what things like a television are. If interested in Darwin, please fill out the pre-adoption application and we can set up a time for you to meet him after 1/11 when he is being neutered.ĭogs from commercial breeders are generally undersocialized (often very scared/shy/skittish) and probably never lived in a house. Another small social dog in the house may help as well, but please remember some adult and senior dogs do not appreciate puppy energy and play, so may not approve of a puppy addition to the household. A secure potty area or fenced yard will be very helpful in his training. He has likely never lived in a home, so will need to figure all the out as well as housetraining and walking on a leash. He is pretty shy because he didn't get much socialization, but we are sure he can figure out how great life is as a loved pet. Profile: Darwin wasn't sold by his breeder, so was surrendered to rescue so he can find a home. Requirements: Patient adopter for a shy puppy
