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.
Update 5/2019: Gazpacho finds himself looking for a home once again. This time is due to no fault of his own. Here is what his adopter has to say about him: I can tell you that he is very friendly with people and other dogs. No real issues with my older dog at all. He is mostly housebroken. He has otherwise been very good. He absolutely needs a fenced yard as he is an expert rabbit chaser and probably squirrels etc. He knows Sit and No but needs other commands and leash walking. He also knows how to beg. He loves lots of attention and treats and seems to be very food motivated but was not aggressive. I think he would do well in an active family with kids but can't know for sure.
Updated profile 4/2019: Gazpacho was adopted but had to be returned because he was too cat crazy to fit in. He is good with other dogs, good with humans, but really wants to chase the cats. So he is looking for a cat and small animal free home.
Gazpacho was a stray/lost dog so we don't have a background or history. We don't know if he lived with other pets, or children, or if he was housetrained. He is a friendly guy who doesn't seem to mind being handled. He arrived at animal control with some other dogs, so may be good with other dogs.
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!
