    Moon Pie has been in a foster home so he could be evaluated better to find just the right fit for him.  Here is what his foster mom has to say about him:

    Loving Introvert seeks same
    Moon Pie is a sweet, loving boy, but he is picky about his friends. It takes him awhile to open up to new people. He's not overly shy or aggressive towards strangers, he's mostly indifferent. He will not approach strangers , usually he will keep his distance or just walk past, but if they try to grab him, he might snap. Once he has someone to love he doesn't really feel he needs anyone else. He is not an affection loving Golden retriever, he will not go up to random people for affection. Once he trusts you MoonPie lives for the belly rub!
    While he's extremely loving, he does not need to be touching you at all times, velcroed to your side. He is content to lay on a dog bed or on the other end of the couch.  You never will be alone again. He will accompany you to every room, yes every room, he even wants to be in the bathroom with you. He is a playful boy and loves his stuffed squeaky toys, and for some strange reason, he likes plastic bottle caps. He is house trained, and loves car rides. Moon is not a fan of big dogs. He loves to play with dogs his own size, but will pick fights with big dogs. You will have to watch doors and gates, if Moon thinks you are leaving without him, he will try to dart through and run, and coming back when called is not a priority.

    Original Profile:  Moon Pie 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.  Moon Pie was a little nervous being handled when he was at animal control, but he seems more relaxed now that he is in rescue.  He is a cute little guy who wants a family to love again.  Moon Pie does have some stranger danger and takes time to warm up to new people.  He is happiest with the people he knows.  He is looking for a home with adults only, or older children, where there isn't a lot of new people coming or going.  He will not do will in an apartment or condo where he would be expected in see new people all the time.  He can also be reactive to other dogs, so may prefer to be the only dog or have a slow introduction to 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.

     
    Adoption Procedures:
    1.  Completely fill out the pre-adoption application at http://www.bichonrescues.com/pre-adoption-form-dog.  We will be checking with your vet if you have had pets, calling your landlord (if any) and checking a personal reference, before we contact you about visiting the adoptables.  Any missing information may have us moving onto another application.
    2.  If you application is approved, we will contact you to come meet the adoptables that you are interested in.  
    3.  If it is a match, you will complete the adoption contract and pay the adoption fee.  Please be prepared to take your adopted pet home when you come meet him/her.  In most cases, you will be able to take the pet home the same day.  If all the vetting hasn't been done yet, we will hold the pet for you until the vet work is completed. 
    4.  If you have filled out an application and we haven't contacted you within a week, we may have missed your application, the pet may have been adopted by another applicant, or you may have been missing information on your application.  You may contact us to find out the status of your application at this time.  Please give us a week to process your application before contacting us!
     
    The adoption fee through Bichon and Little Buddies Rescue is $200 - $475 depending on the age of the dog, 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 and started on preventative, microchipped, and dewormed.  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 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!
