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.
Updated Profile: Misty has been spending time in a foster home so we know her a little better now. She takes a little time to warm up to new people but is happy to sit on her person's lap or next to her person. She isn't needy like some Chihuahuas. She will use potty pads in the house as well as go outside to potty. She gets along with dogs that are larger than her, but is quite bossy with ones smaller than her. So no dog 10lb or under in the home. She would also prefer an adult only home, but has been okay with children who have visited her, but prefers adults. Misty is really hoping someone will apply for her and take a little time to get to know her so she can have a home of her own.
Original Profile: Misty was transferred from another Humane Society 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 a very shy girl, but is warming up to the animal caretakers. She likes to be petted by those she trusts but doesn't want us to pick her up yet. She is getting more social everyday, so if her adopter gives her time to adjust and bond, she will be a great companion. She will probably do best in a quiet home without young children. 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!
