General Profile:  Please fill out the adoption application at http://www.bichonrescues.com/pre-adoption-form-dog if you are interested in meeting one of our dogs. 

Claremont has been in a foster home and here is what her foster mom has to say about her:  Claremont (Clare) is a sweetheart. She has been happy and friendly meeting everyone. She does seem to be attracted to older women the most, so I wonder if she was raised by an older woman. My grandson (5yrs old) has been over and plays with Clare.
She loves car rides, but doesn't jump in the car, you have to help her in. She's very playful, loves to play fight/wrestle, almost retrieves.. she'll chase thrown toys, but sometimes doesn't bring it back. If I allowed it, she'd spread the majority of her time either on my lap or sitting next to me, she loves to cuddle and sleeps touching me. I have 4 other dogs at my house, and she gets along with them all. My littlest dog and Clare lie next to each other and play fight.
She's pretty quiet, the only time she barks is if someone knocks on the door. My dogs are not crated while I'm gone and she has never chewed on anything...she has stolen my gloves and slippers and tried playing with them (shaking), but no damage.
I have not noticed any signals from her to tell me she wants to go outside, so I normally just ask the dogs often through the day if anyone needs to potty.. usually everyone perks up for that.

Original profile:  Claremont was a stray/lost dog so we don't have a background or history.  We don't know if she lived with other pets, or children, or if she was housetrained.  She is totally adorable, and a sweet dog on top of that.  If you are looking to add a cute and friendly dog to your family, consider Claremont!  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.  If you are interested in any of our dogs, please fill out the pre-adoption application and we will set up a time for you to come and meet them.

To assist you and your new pet in adjusting to life together, you will also receive an 8 week age appropriate obedience training course at For Pet's Sake Dog Training for $50 (up to $200 value).  You may opt to take Puppy Kindergarten, Adult Beginners, Small Dogs Big Hearts, or Shy & Reactive Dog Class.  You must start the class within 90 days of adoption for the reduced fee.  For more information on the classes visit www.forpetssake.cc

All dogs are seen BY APPOINTMENT ONLY.  Many are in various foster homes getting extra one on one attention getting them ready for their new homes.  The first step in adoption is filling out the pre-adoption application.  Bichon and Little Buddies is run by volunteers who have full time jobs in addition to the hours they spend with the rescue dogs.  Having an application on file assures us that the potential adopter is really interested in adopting a dog.  It also assists us in placing dogs in homes where both the dog and new owners are happy.  The application puts you under no obligation to adopt a dog from Bichon and Little Buddies.

The Dog Pre-Adoption Application can be found at http://www.bichonrescues.com/pre-adoption-form-dog

Thanks for thinking about adopting your new pet!
